Product and packaging circularity: HP pledged to reach 75% circularity for products and packaging by 2030. This means that 75% of its total annual product and packaging content, by weight, will come from recycled and renewable materials and reused products and parts. The company has already reached 39% circular by weight in 2021.

Journey to net zero: HP aims to accelerate efforts to reduce 50% greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 and to achieve net zero GHG by 2040. In 2021, HP reduced product-use emissions intensity by 39% compared to 2015, exceeding its goal of a 30% reduction by 2025.

Forest restoration and conservation: HP has committed to going beyond their own footprint by counteracting possible deforestation for non-HP paper used in our products and print services by 2030. One of HP’s strategies involves an expanded partnership with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to address the potential impacts on forests from printing with HP printers. In 2021, HP addressed 23% of its total fiber footprint for paper used in its products and print services. HP’s programs counteracted deforestation for non-HP paper representing 19% of this footprint.
