On Wednesday, May 14, The Guardian awarded HP with a Sustainable Business Award for our work to reduce electronic waste (e-waste), protect health and the environment, and create jobs in Kenya for those most in need. We’re achieving this goal by building a unique, scalable and replicable model for sustainable recycling in the developing world.
The Guardian gave us our award in the category of Collaboration, which recognizes “a project or initiative that breaks down traditional barriers.” We see the award as another acknowledgement of our always-evolving sustainability strategy, which dates back to 1957, when our founders, Bill and Dave, developed the first list of HP corporate objectives—which included Global Citizenship. Since then, being a good corporate citizen has been integral to HP’s innovation and performance, and today is brought to life through HP Living Progress, the company’s vision of creating a better future for everyone through its actions and innovations.
