"Global citizenship is one of HP’s seven corporate objectives reflecting our long-standing commitment to making a positive contribution to the global community. We are guided by our company values of trust and respect for the individual and conducting our business with uncompromising integrity. These values are embodied worldwide in our Standards of Business Conduct and implemented through rigorous governance practices to ensure our business practices reflect our values.
Engagement with the communities and local leadership where we live and work is core to HP’s philosophy and approach. Our employees are encouraged to apply their time and talent to help solve problems in their communities. We also engage globally with various stakeholder communities to address issues related to the environment, economic development, digital divide, privacy, labor and human rights.
Environmentally, HP is committed to providing products and services that are environmentally sound throughout their life cycles, and to conducting our operations in an environmentally responsible way.
Socially, HP upholds and respects human rights as reflected in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. HP is also committed to fair labor practices and the respectful treatment of all employees, including the protection of workplace health and safety and data-privacy protections.
Economically, HP is committed to creating value for our shareholders in ways that are transparent and ethical. We are also committed to improving the economic conditions of the communities in which we conduct business through job creation, employee engagement, philanthropy and e-inclusion programs that work to close the gap between technology-empowered and technology-excluded communities worldwide.
