  1. All HP brand paper and paper-based product packaging will be derived from certified and recycled sources by 2020, with a preference for virgin fiber from certified sources of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Packaging is the box that comes with the product and all paper (including packaging and materials) inside the box. 
  2. Product use GHG emissions intensity describes the performance of our portfolio, taking into account changes to product mix and business growth. HP Product use GHG emissions intensity measures per unit GHG emissions during anticipated product lifetime use. These values are then weighted by contribution of personal systems and printing products to overall revenue. These emissions represent more than 99% of HP product units shipped each year, including notebooks, tablets, desktops, mobile computing devices, workstations, displays, and digital signage; HP inkjet, LaserJet, DesignJet, Indigo, Scitex, and Jet Fusion 3D printers; and scanners. 
  3. Recycled content plastic (RCP) as a percentage of total plastic used in all HP personal systems, printer hardware, and print cartridges shipped during the reporting year. Total volume excludes brand-licensed products and after-market hardware accessories. Total RCP includes postconsumer recycled plastic, closed-loop plastic, and ocean-bound plastic used in HP products. Personal systems plastic is defined by EPEAT® eco-label criteria. Subject to relevant restrictions on the use and distribution of materials destined for recycling and/or recycled feedstocks. 
  4. 32 Gold, 280 Silver EPEAT®-registered HP Personal Systems products in 19 countries, as of October 2019. 
  5. “World’s most secure and manageable PC” claim is based on HP’s unique and comprehensive security capabilities at no additional cost and HP’s Manageability Integration Kit’s management of every aspect of a PC including hardware, BIOS and software management using Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager among vendors with 1M annual unit sales as of November 2016 on HP Elite PCs with 7th generation and higher Intel® Processors, Intel® integrated graphics, and Intel® WLAN.
  6. Based on plan usage, Internet connection to eligible HP printer, valid credit/debit card, email address, and delivery service in your geographic area. Number of countries is as of February 2020.

Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab September 2019 research study commissioned by HP, based on research survey of printer manufacturers’ published specifications, documentation and press releases as of 09/01/2019 and not confirmed by lab testing. Market share as reported by IDC Quarterly Hardcopy Peripherals Tracker - Final Historical 2019Q2. Sustainable printing system defined by: zero carbon impact, carbon offset included (HP offsets the carbon impact of HP Tango Terra manufacturing and transportation, electricity use, paper and Original OEM cartridge consumption), 40% recycled content packaging, 100% curbside recyclable packaging, and EPEAT Gold ecolabel. For details see: keypointintelligence.com/HPTangoTerra. 
  8. Tango Terra is certified as CarbonNeutral in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol - https://www.carbonneutral.com/how/carbonneutral-protocol. 
  9. Carbon footprint reduction calculated based on: Aluminum machined part carbon footprint 19.7 kg CO2e; HP Multi Jet Fusion technology carbon footprint 0.97 kg CO2e. Weight reduction calculated based on: Aluminum machined part 355g. HP Multi Jet Fusion technology part 23g.
  10. Based on HP’s internal analysis as of 09/22/20. 92k recycled plastic bottles consumed, based on HP’s projected shipment volumes of Pavilion clamshell PC products annually. 5% ocean bound plastic material in product speaker enclosures.
