At HP we are guided by enduring values that stretch back to our roots—values that reflect basic, fundamental ideas about who we are.
Ideas like these:
|
|
• |
there is no substitute for personal and professional integrity; |
|
• |
doing well and doing good can go hand in hand; and |
|
• |
trust and respect have always been the cornerstones of our success. |
The open doors to our offices reflect the ethical, transparent business practices at every level of the company. They also help foster the open communication that fuels our creativity and camaraderie. We strive to be a company that manages by inspiration, not fear; by sharing information, not guarding it; by empowering people to make decisions; and by unleashing people's talents for the common good.

As a business we must remain profitable to remain viable. But profitable operations are not our only concern. At HP we seek uncompromising integrity through what each individual can contribute—to our customers, our co-workers, our company and our communities.
Our business success is dependent on trusting relationships. Our reputation is founded on the personal integrity of the company's personnel and our dedication to our principles of:

|

Excellence in our products and services, by striving to provide high-quality products and services to our customers |
|
• |
Responsibility for our words and actions |

Citizenship in our observance of all the laws of any country in which we do business, respect for environmental concerns and our service to the community by improving and enriching community life. |
|
• |
Fairness to our fellow employees, stakeholders, business partners, customers and suppliers through adherence to all applicable laws, regulations and policies, and a high standard of behaviour. |
|
