"HP is committed to measuring and reducing our global freight carbon footprint.
Green Freight initiatives such as SmartWay in the US and Canada, Green Freight
Asia, Green Freight Europe, Clean Cargo Working Group and the Global
Logistics Emissions Council are crucial to helping us achieve these goals."
John Frasca, HP Director
- Global Supply Chain Network Optimization and Logistics Procurement
The Partnership Begins
HP joined SmartWay in 2007 as it aligns with our company-wide sustainability efforts. With one
of the industry's largest supply chains, we implement initiatives to help reduce the CO2 impacts
across our global network - helping us meet our 20% by 2020 product transportation Green-
house Gas reduction goal. We utilize 1 00% SmartWay partners and proud to be the first company
to include the SmartWay logo on our product packaging in the US and Canada. The SmartWay
program helps HP demonstrate our environmental leadership in the transportation space.
Optimizing Efficiency throughout the Global
Supply Chain
The SmartWay program enables HP to have greater visibility over our supply chain freight
operations. Programs like SmartWay, Green Freight Asia, Green Freight Europe, and Clean
Cargo Working Group help us to get the data we need to baseline our freight operations
performance and identify ways to improve our global supply chain environmental efficiency.
As part of HP's ongoing efforts to lower its carbon footprint across all phases of its business,
HP maintains Greenhouse Gas reduction goals for its product transportation and first-tier
manufacturing, Operations, and Product Portfolio. HP is the only global IT company to have
set carbon reduction goals for all three parts of its value chain.
HP engages in a host of network enhancement programs to optimize freight performance and
reduce emissions, which also aligns with our cost savings efforts. These include minimizing the
size and weight of our shipments, decreasing the distance our products travel, and converting to
environmentally friendly modes of transport. One example of this is HP's Trans-Eurasian Rail
(TER) project which impacts our transportation efficiency, our environmental benefits and our
social and environmental responsibility leadership.
Supporting the Development of a Global Green
Freight Action Plan
HP aims to help drive the global alignment of green freight programs across
all geographic regions and modes of transport. Partnerships can help
accelerate efficiency improvements in these areas, yet their success on a
global scale is limited by a lack of common standards, methodologies and
metrics.
HP supports the development of a Global Green Freight Action Plan
through the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) which will provide
a roadmap and blueprint for these programs as they develop and
evolve globally. Short Lived Climate Pollutants, like black carbon
emitted from heavy duty transportation vehicles, impacts climate
as well as human health and is one of the top initiatives for
the CCAC.
