HP Introduces First-of-its-kind Sustainable Impact Program for Partners to Extend Impact on Climate Change, Human Rights and ...
February 11 2021 - 9:00AM
Today, HP Inc. unveiled HP Amplify™ Impact, an industry-first
partner assessment, resource and training program aimed at driving
meaningful change across its three Sustainable Impact pillars –
Planet, with an emphasis on climate change; People with an emphasis
on human rights and social justice; and Community with an emphasis
on bridging the digital divide. Partners that pledge to join the HP
Amplify Impact program will work with HP to assess their own
practices while tapping into the company’s extensive investments
and initiatives.
“Our goal is to work with our partners to help drive a more
circular and low-carbon economy, cultivate a more diverse,
inclusive and equitable supply chain and improve the vitality and
resilience of local communities,” said Christoph Schell, HP Chief
Commercial Officer. “The strength and reach of our ecosystem are
substantial and by bringing our partners with us on this journey,
we can work together to create a more sustainable and just
world.”
Creating an Ecosystem of Accountability
The HP Amplify Impact program helps to empower partners to set
bold, long-term objectives to drive positive impact. HP aims to
enroll at least half of its HP Amplify partners in the voluntary
Impact program by 2025. Participating partners will be recognized
via certification and an annual awards program. The mission of the
program is to drive accountability throughout the IT industry
across the following key pillars:
- Planet: Drive toward a
net-zero carbon, fully regenerative circular economy while creating
the industry’s most sustainable portfolio of technology, services
and solutions.
- People: Respecting
human rights, enabling people across the value chain to thrive and
cultivating a diverse, equitable and inclusive (DE&I) culture
through initiatives such as the HP Racial Equality and Social
Justice Task Force.
- Community: Empower
communities through the power of technology. Help eliminate the
digital divide that prevents too many from accessing the education,
jobs and healthcare needed to thrive.
Sustainable Impact: A Business Imperative
As reflected in HP’s annual Sustainable Impact Report, a
commitment to Sustainable Impact isn’t just the right thing to do,
it’s also good for business. In 2020, Sustainable Impact helped HP
win more than $1 billion in new sales1 —a testament to the
high-performance, purpose-driven culture that unites the HP
ecosystem and global partner community.
It also reflects the changing role of corporations in society.
HP is committed to both creating value for its shareholders while
building a brighter future for all stakeholders. As a result of
decades spent working towards sustainability goals to create
positive change, HP is recognized as one of the world’s most
sustainable companies and is well-poised to support the HP Amplify
partner community with the resources required to identify potential
gaps and provide the guidance necessary to achieve partner
goals.
A Resilient Path for HP Amplify Partners
All HP Amplify partners can access HP’s world-class Sustainable
Impact resources no matter where they are on their journey to a
more sustainable world. HP will provide all HP Amplify partners
with access to training, sales tools, marketing assets, and access
to HP’s Sustainability & Compliance Centre (SCC), HP LIFE and
HP Planet Partners. In addition, HP will work closely with partners
in select countries on the initial roll out of two distinct
tracks:
- Catalyst: Catalyst
members will take the HP Amplify Impact Pledge, participate in a
sustainability assessment, and report sales opportunities. Initial
roll out includes 19 countries: United States, Colombia, Brazil,
Mexico, Turkey, UAE, Singapore, Philippines, India, Germany, UK,
Sweden, Denmark, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, South Africa and

sustainability journey. HP will closely collaborate with and
support Changemaker members in the development of a long-term
sustainability plan which will put them on a path to be recognized
as a business that is focused on creating meaningful change.
