Among the focus areas detailed in the report are ethics and compliance, human rights and labor practices, environmental sustainability, privacy and social investment. Notable accomplishments include:
HP became the first IT company to report the greenhouse gas emissions associated with its product manufacturing by publishing the emissions attributed to its first-tier suppliers. In 2008, HP recovered for reuse 3.5 million hardware units weighing 75 million pounds (34,000 metric tonnes) and increased its recycling volume to 265 million pounds (120,000 metric tonnes) globally. HP announced an industry-first engineering breakthrough that uses recycled content - from cartridges returned through the HP Planet Partners return and recycling program and materials such as plastic water bottles - in manufacturing new Original HP inkjet cartridges. In 2008, HP audited 142 of its suppliers at 246 sites and found a significant reduction in incidences of nonconformance in areas such as nondiscrimination practices and worker health and safety. HP continued implementation of its privacy accountability model, which goes beyond compliance with laws and industry norms to also take into account HP values and customer expectations and risks to its business and that of its customers.
