HP commits to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its global operations another 25 percent

After setting and meeting two successive Scope 1 and Scope 2 absolute reduction goals for greenhouse gas emissions (GHG)1, HP Inc. announces a new target to reduce the GHG emissions from its global operations by 25 percent by 2025, compared to 2015.

The new target is a significant milestone for HP as it accelerates its commitment to reduce the company’s total carbon footprint in accordance with what climate science indicates is required to help keep global warming below 2° Celsius. In 2016, the company announced a goal to reduce the GHG emissions intensity of its product portfolio by 25 percent by 2020, compared to 20102, and committed to source 100 percent renewable electricity in its global operations with an interim goal of 40 percent renewable by 2020.

In conjunction with setting this new operations goal, HP renewed its commitment to World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF) Climate Savers Program, a global program to engage business and industry on climate and energy. Member companies commit to become the best in class in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and pledge to influence market or policy developments by promoting their vision, solutions, and achievements. Hewlett-Packard Company first joined WWF’s Climate Savers in 2008. (Hewlett-Packard Company separated into HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise in November 2015.) Today’s announcement marks the start of HP’s association with Climate Savers as a post separation company.

Leadership, Engagement Drive Domtar’s Safety Journey

Domtar’s safety culture is founded on the idea of human performance improvement (HPI), which acknowledges that people are inherently fallible and they will make mistakes. However, HPI isn’t about fixing the worker; rather, it holds the entire organization accountable by understanding the context surrounding events and why individuals exhibited behaviors that lead to safety incidents. Both individual actions and organizational weaknesses can result in unwanted outcomes. Therefore, HPI-based initiatives are proactive in nature. They focus on risk reduction and continuous improvement by implementing solutions to prevent errors that could lead to a negative outcome. Click Read More below for additional information.

Why Circularity Is Key for Sustainability Practices

According to McKinsey, the pandemic accelerated the shift to e-commerce by as much as ten years, completely altering consumer and industry trends in a matter of months. While a lot of businesses benefited from reaching new and larger audiences online, supply chains were left to figure out how to adapt based on increased consumer demand for packaging. Meanwhile, consumers have been increasingly paying closer attention to the sustainability practices of companies and brands. More than half of U.S. consumers are highly concerned about the environmental impact of packaging. Companies, then, are challenged to find cost-effective and sustainable packaging at speed and scale. But embracing sustainability in the supply chain isn’t as simple as switching out your current packaging for a perceived “eco-friendly” alternative. Before anything else, companies must define what sustainable means. Consider paper packaging — it’s commonly accepted as an environmentally friendlier option, but it requires access to forests. In this case, companies would be forced to weigh the benefits of paper packaging with limited supplies and the environmental costs of acquiring it. much more at source
