  2. What is our connected world like? In the era of anywhere, anytime connectivity, information is the world's most valuable resource How do you see Data centre containers being used in your organization? Today, about a quarter of the world's population is online. By 2020, that number will grow to roughly two-thirds. As access to technology expands, countless gateways to communication and collaboration are opening up, accelerating how information is created, delivered, and consumed. With our broad portfolio and nearly 325,000 employees in 170 countries, we're driving innovation on a vast scale and helping to transform how people live, businesses operate, and the world works Source: IDC, Transforming the Datacentre: Consolidation, Pervasive Virtualization and Energy Optimization, Doc # DR2009_T4_MB, March 2009

  3. How will we sustainably meet the rising demand for IT ? As demand for technology surges, the world will use increasingly more energy and raw materials to manufacture, transport, power, and eventually dispose of it—in turn driving up greenhouse gas (GHG ) emissions. At a minimum, we must design IT to be as energy and resource efficient as possible. HP also helps customers make more efficient use of energy and other resources, build intelligent infrastructure, and replace outmoded, inefficient systems with more productive and sustainable alternatives.

  4. A step forward in calculating the Carbon footprint of IT Knowing the full carbon footprint of IT can yield big benefits. Businesses can use the insights to make operations more efficient, improve procurement policies, and save money. Today, HP offers the HP Carbon Footprint Calculator. A free, web-based tool, it helps individuals and businesses estimate the impact of HP computing and printing products during use.

  5. Strengthening Education Because young people are already enthusiastic technology users, technology is an ideal platform for deepening their engagement in learning. At HP, we believe integrating technology into the learning experience is a pathway to developing the next generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators. It's why we created the HP Catalyst Initiative. For example, an HP Catalyst consortium led by the South Africa-based Council for Scientific and Industrial Research's Meraka Institute is charged with championing technology that connects students in developing parts of the world with the global research community. Known as the Global Collaboratory, this consortium is drawing on the success of the HP and UNESCO Brain Gain Initiative, which was created to slow the exodus of scientists and academics from Africa and the Middle East.

  6. HP is working to make peoples life better For example, we're working with the Clinton Health Access Initiative and the Kenya Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation to help babies born with HIV in Kenya receive prompt medical care that dramatically improves their chances of survival. Together, we've developed a new solution that automates the capture, processing, and publishing of test results, making that information available to caregivers online and sending them via text to printers in remote clinics. Test results that once took weeks by courier now arrive electronically in just days. In 2009, before this system was implemented, 45,000 infants in Kenya were tested. Container With this new program, HP expects the number of babies tested to jump to 70,000 in the year 2011.

  7. HP’s Commitment to the Environment • Our goal for cutting the energy use and GHG emissions from our operations by 2013, compared with 2005 Amount of electricity customers saved through 2010 using our high-volume HP desktop and notebook PC families, since 2008 Demonstrated improvement in energy efficiency in our new facility in Wynyard, UK, comparedwith the industry average data center All of this is changing the way customers think

  10. Comments from HP’s CEO We’re also using our position as the world’s largest information technology (IT) company to address some of society’s most pressing challenges. Our strategy is to use our portfolio and expertise to tackle complex issues— such as improving energy efficiency, enhancing the quality and accessibility of education, and making healthcare more affordable, accessible, and effective. We approach these issues in a holistic way, stretching beyond quick fixes and piecemeal solutions. We recognize that these problems are too big for any single organization to address alone, so we’re teaming up with partners worldwide to find solutions. We cultivate relationships with diverse stakeholders, such as industry peers, governments, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). And to promote higher standards across sectors, we endorse the UN Global Compact. Léo Apotheker President and Chief Executive Officer
