HP Goes Green

Hewlett-Packard has pledged to reduce energy usage by 20 per cent before 2010. They announced Tuesday that they would be setting a “carbon footprint challenge” for their 4,000 employees in Ireland to help make the company greener. “Energy efficiency is a key priority for HP and we know that encouraging a culture of environmental awareness amongst employees is critical to the success of our worldwide environmental initiatives,” said HP Ireland managing director Martin Murphy in a statement. Here are some of the ways HP hopes to meet this challenge: • Online tools and local reference points will be used to provide the company’s Irish employees with access to the latest environmental information and advice needed to reduce emissions and save money. • Employees will be given the opportunity to sponsor the planting of a tree in association with forestry products company Coillte. • They will increase their renewable energy purchases by more than 350 per cent by procuring 50 million kilowatt-hours of renewable electricity during 2007.
