HPE further customized a performance dashboard for our suppliers to track their individual GHG performance against a set of HPE defined requirements.
These requirements are part of our supplier Social and Environmental Responsibility (SER) scorecards and are referenced in key procurement decision-making.
Compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct and suppliers’ SER performance are monitored through independent audits, public supplier lists (which disclose the environmental performance of manufacturing suppliers by spend), and direct engagements.
Finally, we are working directly with our top-spend suppliers to help them implement renewable energy projects at their manufacturing locations within the next five years.
Alliance, we collaborate with our peers to influence policy and drive availability of renewable energy in regions of the world where access to renewables is limited.

In addition, we will pursue other ultra-low emission solutions where EVs and PHEVs are not a viable option.
Successes in our auto fleet transformation program will reduce our overall carbon footprint and optimize our total cost of ownership.
Although the water withdrawals of our operations are minimal (less than footprint), we recognize that water availability can pose numerous risks to our business, including to our operations and to our workforce and their communities.
The vast majority of our operational water footprint is comprised of indirect water withdrawal related to the electricity consumed by our operations.
Given this, we are aligning our renewable energy and water strategies using guidance from the World Resources Institute.
In 2021, we withdrew 1.18 million cubic meters of water, a 14% decrease from the previous year.
of these water withdrawals occurred in extremely high and high water-stressed regions.
In order to limit these impacts, we prioritize water management projects at sites in water-stressed regions and use robust, data-driven assessments to identify projects that bring the greatest benefit to high water stressed communities.
In A score from the CDP for our disclosures and approach to water stewardship and management.
Wastewater quality is monitored on a daily and monthly basis as stipulated by the National Accreditation Board for Laboratories (NABL) and the Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF) ensuring that Pollution Control Board regulations are met.
Water that meets lab-specified parameters is used for landscaping and gardening.
Any water that does not meet lab standards is retreated in the sewage treatment plant.
Sludge generated from the sewage treatment plant is used as manure for gardening.
In waste generation from our operations decreased by 15% and our non-hazardous waste diversion rate increased by 3.9% for an overall diversion rate of over 92%.
We anticipate that our Edge-to-Ofice transition will continue to shift the amounts and characterizations of our waste streams.
To power innovation and creativity, we foster an inclusive culture, support the long-term development and well-being of our team members, and provide a safe and secure work environment.
