Global Citizenship Bulletin

Welcome to our November/December 2008 edition

Welcome to the November/December edition of our Global Citizenship Bulletin in EMEA

Welcome to the final edition of Global Citizenship Bulletin for 2008.

This edition demonstrates that HP EMEA has been pretty busy and successful in many ways. Featuring an extra, celebratory news item, we bring details of HP winning two prestigious awards. The first is by our Green Fleet Team, who have been recognised for developing our CO²NTRA Emission programme which educates HP employees about environment-conscious driving and contributes to our company’s longstanding environment protection policy. The second award is won by HP Russia in recognition of our technology development, education and social investment in the country.

We have also achieved a ‘first’ by being the only IT company in EMEA to release carbon emissions data from our first tier suppliers. The release of this data is very important as it emphasises our continued leadership in both supply chain and environmental transparency.

	This month's feature

	Looking back over 2008 - our goals and achievements In our Global Citizenship Report 2007 we stated how HP strives for leadership by addressing the areas that are most critical to our stakeholders and our business. We focused primarily on three issues: supply chain responsibility, climate and energy and product reuse and recycling. In Europe, Middle East and Africa, education constitutes a further priority. We set ourselves specific goals to achieve either throughout 2008 or well beyond and, as you will read from this review, we have long list of success stories that demonstrate just how seriously we take Global Citizenship.

	Interview

	Climate change: how HP Labs is setting ambitious goals In October, HP Labs and Forum for the Future, a renowned UK-based sustainable development organisation, published a report called ‘Climate Futures’, which analyses the economic, political, social and psychological consequences of climate change. In short, it looks at how individuals, companies, markets and governments will change their behaviour as a result of our changing climate. Our interview this month features Chris Priest, Head of HP Sustainable IT Ecosystem Lab, who talks about how information technology plays a crucial role in energy efficiency and sustainability and how HP Labs is setting some ambitious goals that will provide targeted solutions to combat climate change.

	News from EMEA

	HP - the first to release supply chain emissions data HP has achieved a major technology company ‘first’ by releasing emissions data produced by its largest suppliers. The data represents more than 80 per cent of HP’s costs for materials, manufacturing and assembly of its products worldwide and is a prime example of the company’s continued leadership in both supply chain and environmental transparency.

HP’s Green Fleet Team wins prestigious Green Fleet Award

HP EMEA’s Green Fleet Team received the 2008 International Fleet Green Award in October at the prestigious Fleet Europe Awards ceremony in Berlin. The award was given to HP in recognition of the company’s CO²NTRA Emission programme, which was acknowledged by the jury for its focus on eco-friendliness and ability to balance total cost of ownership (TCO ) optimisation with ecological aims, whilst still taking into account driver satisfaction.

	Country spotlight

	HP Russia named IT Company of the Year HP Russia has been named IT Company of the Year by the country’s well known business weekly magazine Kompaniya. HP Russia’s managing director Own Kemp received the award in recognition of HP’s substantial contributions to the Russian economy. The award brings to an end a year of great achievements for HP Russia, with plans for business development, investments in education and social corporate responsibility going from strength to strength.
