Taking urgent and decisive action to achieve net zero carbon emissions across our entire value chain, give back more to forests than we take, and innovate our products and services for a more circular economy.
Closing the loop in Brazil
Since 2012, in collaboration with Flex, our main manufacturing partner in Brazil, we have recycled end-of-life products and reused some of the materials for new products.
Tracking our goals
The goal:
Smaller footprint
Reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from global operations by 65% by 2025, compared to 2015.3
Where we’re at:
Reduced by 62%
HP’s global operations produced 146,400 tonnes of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in 2023.
The goal:
Circularity
Reach 75% circularity for products and packaging, by 2030.4
Where we’re at:
Reached 40%
Circularity, by weight.5
The goal:
Counteract deforestation
for non-HP paper used in our products and print services by 2030.6 Continue to source only sustainable fiber for all HP-brand paper and paper-based packaging for home and office printers and supplies, PCs, and displays.7
Where we’re at:
32%
During the year we addressed 36% of our total fiber footprint for paper used in our products and print services.8
Recognition for our impact
HP has achieved triple “A” scores from CDP for transparency and action on climate, forests, and water security for five consecutive years, and has also been recognized as a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader.

59% renewable electricity
achieved. HP’s global operations procured and generated 293,289 MWh of renewable electricity and attributes in 2023.
Carbon emissions
HP's carbon footprint in 2023 equaled 19,764,400 tonnes of CO2e, 27% less than in 2019.
Smaller footprint, greater efficiency
The science is clear. So are our goals.
Our near term GHG reduction targets have been validated by SBTi.

Percentage of HP’s total annual product and packaging content, by weight, that will come from recycled and renewable materials and reused products and parts by 2030.
Percentage of HP’s total annual product and packaging content, by weight, that comes from recycled and renewable materials and reused products and parts. 2023 data does not include the following products or packaging for these products: some personal systems accessories and print accessories sold separately.
Fiber by weight will be 1) certified to rigorous third-party standards, 2) recycled, or 3) balanced by forest restoration, protection, and other initiatives through HP’s Forest Positive Framework.
HP-brand paper and paper-based packaging for home and office printers and supplies, PCs, and displays are derived from certified and recycled sources, with a preference for Forest Stewardship Council® certification. Packaging is the box that comes with the product and all paper-based materials inside the box.
During 2023, HP-brand paper and paper-based packaging for home and office printers and supplies, PCs, and displays equaled 8% of our fiber footprint. We calculate the annual tonnage for paper used in our products and print services that will be addressed through projects with civil society forestry organizations to counteract possible deforestation by taking the estimated total annual tonnage of paper consumed in the use of our printing products and print services minus the weight of such paper that we mitigate through our responsible sourcing programs. See the HP Forest positive accounting manual.
All HP-brand paper is derived from certified sources; paper-based packaging for PCs, displays, home and office print, and supplies is reported by suppliers as recycled or certified, with a minimum of 97% by volume verified by HP. Packaging is the box that comes with the product and all paper-based materials inside the box. Packaging for commercial, industrial, and 3D products, scanners, personal systems accessories, and spare parts is not included.
Calculation based on 16.9 ounce “single serve” bottled water containers.
