About this report

Innovation in 2015 We develop innovative products and solutions across our broad portfolio that help HP and our customers improve environmental performance and advance toward a circular economy. Learn about several recent examples in the sections that follow. Personal systems HP is the global market leader in commercial personal systems, which include desktops, notebooks, workstations, thin clients, tablets, and displays. Reducing the environmental impact of our personal systems products advances our business—differentiating HP in the market and delivering performance and sustainability results for our customers. We make energy efficiency improvements to each new generation of personal systems, design new models that reduce materials use, and incorporate materials innovations such as PCR plastic. We also offer customers resource-efficient delivery models such as HP Subscription Services that keep computing products running smoothly for as long as possible. Since 2010, we have decreased the energy consumption of our personal systems product portfolio by 25% on average. 18 Product efficiency Personal systems accounted for 38% of Hewlett-Packard Company’s product use carbon footprint in 2015. Through product design and strategic partnerships, we continue to improve the efficiency of our personal systems, reduce our environmental footprint, and support our customers’ sustainability goals. In 2015, four of our displays qualified for the Energy Star Most Efficient Category, delivering “efficiency performance that is truly exceptional, inspirational, or leading edge—consistent with the interests of environmentally motivated consumers and early adopters.” 19 See more information about eco-labels . Smaller desktop PCs provide customers with sustainability and cost advantages while reducing HP’s environmental footprint. In 2015, we continued to help customers transi- tion from the ultra-slim desktop tower (USDT) to the current HP EliteDesk 800 Desktop Mini. The latter product is a top-of-the-line PC designed for business-critical computing, with numerous accessories that enable expandability and flexibility. HP offers a full line of Desktop Mini models. These models use 79% less material than the USDT without sacrificing performance. The Desktop Mini’s smaller size also reduces GHG emissions associated with materials extraction through manufacturing, and cuts customer costs by using 28% less energy than its Tower equivalent. The market in general is trending toward smaller form factors, and sales of the Desktop Mini increased fourfold from 2014 to 2015. This product’s success has contributed to our ability to reduce plastic and metal per unit shipped by 23% and 16%, respectively, from 2014 to 2015 across our business desktop portfolio. Through an exclusive agreement with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), a leading micropro- cessor design company, we were the first to use their latest central processing unit (CPU), allowing us to take the energy efficiency for our PCs to the next level. Currently used in four HP products—the EliteDesk 705 G2 Desktop Mini, the EliteBook 725 G3, the EliteBook 745 G3, and the EliteBook 755 G3—AMD’s latest hardware more effectively prioritizes system tasks between a computer’s graphics processing unit and CPU. Customers benefit from best-in-class performance coupled with a 50% reduction in total energy use and associated costs compared to previous-generation models in similar configurations.
