Taking action for the environment –
celebrating Environment Day across Europe
At HP, we have celebrated Environment Days in our US offices for many years and introduced them to Europe with incredible success last year. Environment Days are an opportunity for our employees to come out in force to show their support for particular environmental issues, recycle their electronic equipment, and participate in one of the many activities that are organised throughout HP offices in the EMEA region during June-October.

Delivering business skills to young people across Europe 
A few weeks ago, HP and Junior Achievement Young Enterprise (JA-YE) presented the second HP Responsible Business Awards to the student company with the best responsible business plan. The award forms part of the education initiatives HP and JA-YE run in partnership in Europe.

In this interview with JA-YE CEO Caroline Jenner, we take a look at how collaboration between HP and JA-YE has evolved over the years and how their European-wide collaboration has delivered greater impact for HP and JA-YE.

HP meets its recycling goal six months ahead of schedule 
HP has met its goal of recycling 455 million kilograms worth of electronic equipment six months early, after initially setting the target for the end of 2007. As a result, a new target has now been set, which is to recycle the same amount, 455 million kilograms of equipment by the end of 2010, doubling HP’s annual recovery rate.
