Our commitments to a low-carbon economy
HPE is one of the first companies to set Science Based Targets initiative-approved greenhouse gas reduction targets across our value chain aligned with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C trajectory. As part of the HPE Living Progress strategy, we have set forth a path, aiming to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our value chain by 2040. Our roadmap outlines the actions needed to transform our business and to empower our suppliers and customers to do the same.
Several key themes will continue to drive our progress forward:
- Partnering with customers, suppliers, and providers to achieve progress against climate roadmaps.
- Supporting policies and coalitions to accelerate clean energy markets.
- Building infrastructure across the value chain to measure and track performance.
- Transforming our offerings and business models to reduce the impact of HPE solutions and decouple business growth from emissions.
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing us today. HPE has the power not only to reduce its own impact but also to innovate low-carbon technology solutions for our customers that drive industry transformation.
Transitioning to a low-carbon economy
We're committed to conducting business in a manner that delivers leading environmental, health, and safety performance while helping minimize our negative impact on the planet.
