Global citizenship covers a lot of ground at HP. It is more than a label, larger than a program, greater than any single organization. Global citizenship is a corporate objective, embodied by our employees and rooted in values that have been core to HP since its founding in 1939. For 70 years, it has encompassed our commitment to hold ourselves to high standards of integrity, contribution and accountability as we balance and align our business goals with our impact on society and the planet.

We believe few companies have HP’s capabilities to make positive and lasting differences in how people live and work. Our portfolio of products, services and solutions is at the forefront of the IT industry. Our operations, infrastructure and influence extend worldwide. Our more than 320,000 employees include some of the most ingenious minds of our time. Collectively, their talent and expertise are unparalleled. And our collaborative relationships with diverse stakeholders help us understand and respond to pressing issues and promising opportunities.

Our work in these areas yields insights and best practices that guide us in delivering value for our customers. For example, we’re designing products and services to reduce their environmental footprint. We’re safeguarding privacy as technology blurs geographic and social boundaries. And, we’re transforming education through innovative uses of technology, fostering the next generation of skilled workers and entrepreneurs.

We focus our global citizenship efforts in five areas: ethics and compliance; human rights and labor practices; environmental sustainability; privacy; and social investment. Together, they span our regions and business units, influencing how we set priorities, engage with stakeholders, run our operations, develop new offerings and differentiate our brand.
