HP turns green & transparent

HP has surprised us again. We know they had ambitions on becoming more sustainable and not just greenwashing but they have taken a huge step and an industry first. They have made the carbon footprint of their business transparent including the supply chain of their largest suppliers – the largest global supply chain in the technology industry. That indicated footprint covers over eighty percent of their costs for materials, manufacturing, assembly for HP products. Whats more, they only set that goal a year ago in 2007, showing that it does not take decades to make change, even for a large multinational corporation. They release this data, making themselves transparent in order to increase their responsibility and that of those with whom they do business.
