THE OUTLOOK : TRACKING PROGRESS THE OUTLOOK : AMPLIFYING IMPACT
LaTasha Gary
Director of Sustainable Impact Program Management and Digital Transformation are actually doing the work to get there . The Project Management Office is responsible for working with each of the goal owners to have a “ glide path ” with milestones and deliverables we track throughout the year .
3 / How does that break down in practice ? We have pillar leads for digital equity , climate action , and human rights who work across HP to drive progress toward our goals . They help us work with goal owners and subjectmatter experts to ensure they have programs and plans in place to achieve their respective glide paths for the current year ’ s and future years ’ goals . A quarterly report on our toptier public goals is shared with leadership , including the Sustainable Impact Steering Committee , top executives reporting to CEO Enrique Lores , and the Nominating , Governance , and Social Responsibility Committee ( NGSRC ) from HP ’ s Board of Directors .

Embracing Collaboration For Sustainable Change
Why companies that prioritize collective impact can drive purposeful business at scale .
4 / Why is transparency increasingly important around sustainability reporting ? Customers , investors , employees , and regulators want to know what we are doing to improve the planet , people , and communities we serve . We have a bold vision to be the world ’ s most sustainable and just technology company . To achieve our goals , we have to make sure that we ’ re providing documentation that substantiates our achievements and shows progress . In some cases , depending on the type of goal , we have external auditors to make sure we are accurately reporting and not greenwashing . New regulatory requirements are being defined now that will require us to report our sustainability metrics alongside our financial statements .
5 / You had the opportunity to take early retirement but declined , even after all your years of service and accomplishments . What motivates you to keep pushing forward at HP ? I wasn ’ t at the point where I was ready to hand this off . I think HP has made significant progress over the time that I ’ ve been at the company , but we ’ re not ready to celebrate yet . There ’ s more work to do , more opportunities to address . I ’ ve been pleased with the progress we ’ ve made together , and it motivates me to stay on and continue to lead out on the changes that we need .

VE LIVED IN many beautiful countries around the world and have seen firsthand the impact of climate change — from forest fires and droughts to hurricanes and floods . Big challenges require big solutions , and while these challenges may feel bigger than most , solutions are within reach if we take the right approach .
People will continue to embrace new ways of living and working to protect our planet . Companies have an equal responsibility to drive Sustainable Impact , and together we can achieve our goals at greater scale . Collectively , businesses can deliver purposeful innovations that will make our world better for future generations .
HP already has a long track record of doing just that : It ’ s the only tech company globally to receive a Triple A score by the CDP , a global environmental disclosure system ; it sits at the top of Newsweek ’ s 2023 list of America ’ s Most Responsible Companies ; and has received a remarkable seven Green Good Design Awards for responsible design and manufacturing .
Now we ’ re bringing partners into the fold with the opportunity to join HP in its efforts across climate action , human rights , and digital equity .
