HP Germany: 120 charities benefit from employee support
HP employees have a long history of making social, intellectual and economic contributions to the communities where they live and work. For HP Germany, our Employee Giving Programme has produced some very charitable benefits.

Operating under HP’s Global Citizenship umbrella, ‘HP vor Ort’ is a community initiative that supports employees who work with charitable organisations in their spare time.

In recognition of their voluntary work, the board members of HP Germany asked employees to nominate their charities for a special HP prize draw. The draw took place in September and, as a result, 120 charities received HP equipment, highlighting HP Germany’s continued commitment to the community.

HP helps develop SER practices in Central Europe
HP has launched a new initiative in conjunction with The Copenhagen Centre for Corporate Responsibility in Denmark to develop Social and Environmental Responsibility (SER) practices in Central Europe.

The initiative is designed to equip small and medium-sized enterprises with the management tools needed to operate their businesses in a socially and environmentally sustainable manner. It will also provide both The Copenhagen Centre and HP with vital information for future SER practices.

HP announces joint initiative on climate change with WWF
HP announced an extensive initiative with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) on 8 November, outlining specific projects we’re undertaking to reduce our own greenhouse gas emissions, increase the energy efficiency of our products and educate others to do the same.

One of our goals is to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions from HP’s operating facilities by 15 percent over the next four years. WWF, a pioneer in fostering conservation challenges, will provide HP with the expertise to fulfil these goals.
