About this report

About GHG emissions data This report includes Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions data from Hewlett-Packard Company’s operations, transportation fleet, and employee business travel, calculated according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and World Resources Institute (WRI). See the Hewlett-Packard Company 2015 carbon footprint for more details and an overview of emissions across the value chain. • Scope 1 emissions include those from the direct use of natural gas, diesel fuel, re- frigerants, and PFCs in operations and from fuel used by Hewlett-Packard Company’s transportation fleet. • Scope 2 emissions are primarily from purchased electricity used in Hewlett-Packard Company’s operational real estate. • Scope 3 emissions reported in this section result from employee business travel by commercial airline and from commuting. To capture the rising corporate demand for low-carbon energy, including contract-based agreements such as renewable energy credits, WBCSD and WRI updated GHG Protocol Scope 2 emissions guidance in 2015. This update covers calculations for emissions from electricity based on location (location-based method) and electricity purchased from energy companies (market-based method). Organizations must now report using both methods to comply with the standard. Data in this section for 2015 use the market-based method. Data for 2011–2014 reflect a similar approach, using location-based method totals and subtracting the GHG emissions impact from renewables and no/low-carbon energy. In the data summary , we also include 2015 data using the location-based method. 2015 performance In 2015, Hewlett-Packard Company achieved its 2020 goal to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from operations by 20%, compared to 2010. Globally, the company’s operations produced 1,432,100 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e) emissions, a 14% reduction from 2014 and a 29% decrease from its 2010 baseline 2 of 2,016,700 tonnes of CO 2 e. Normalized to net revenue, total operations-related GHG emissions in 2015 equaled 13.9 tonnes of CO 2 e per $ million, a 7% reduction from the prior year and 13% less than 2010. Energy use continued to represent the vast majority of facility-related GHG emissions in 2015. A 54% increase in voluntary purchases of renewable energy (especially wind) and switching to the market-based method of calculating emissions both contributed to this decrease year over year.

29% decrease in GHG emissions from operations compared to 2010, achieving 2020 goal five years early
