This week, HP unveiled a bold new goal and accelerator initiative to achieve digital equity, on the heels of an announcement last month that focused on climate action and human rights.
Included in its annual Sustainable Impact Report, now in its 20th year, are data points showing progress HP is making across its core pillars of climate action and human rights, and its new pledge to accelerate digital equity for 150 million people by 2030. The new goal builds on HP’s commitment to enable better learning outcomes for 100 million people by 2025 — which the company reports being more than halfway to achieving.
“We are in the most decisive decade of our time,” says HP President and CEO Enrique Lores.
HP is looking across a 10-year horizon and has set its sights on becoming the world’s most sustainable and just technology company by 2030. “The actions we take today will determine whether we, as a global society, can avert the worst impacts of the climate crisis, end systemic racism and social inequalities, and work together to reduce the digital divide that keeps billions of people from equitably participating in society,” he says.
