SUSTAINABILITY Here’s a bright idea: use less energy! HP innovates to make our customers, products, supply chain, and ourselves more efficient By Judy Glazer, Global Head of Sustainability and Product Compliance, HP; Nate Hurst, Chief Sustainability and Social Impact Officer, HP I n January 2017 the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that in- dependent analyses conducted by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) show that 2016 was the warmest year on record globally and represented the third re- cord year in a row. The release noted that the rise in tempera- ture is being driven primarily by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the largest sources for GHG emissions in the U.S. are electricity produc- tion and energy use within industries. Commercial and residential buildings account for a large share of electricity consumption for heating and to power lighting, appliances, and other technology equipment. Which is why so many companies, governments, and other in- stitutions are looking for more efficient ways to operate in order to lower their energy use, costs, and GHG emissions. Sustainability = business success At HP, we believe that efforts to reduce energy use and lower GHG emissions across our technology portfolio, operations, and supply chain are critical to our long-term business sustainability and our customers’ success. We know that electricity consumption rep- resents approximately 70 percent of the GHG emissions associated with the use of our prod- ucts. So improving the energy efficiency of those Raising the bar on energy eﬀiciency Since 2010, HP has reduced energy consumption of our LaserJet portfolio by 56% on average* 1984 HP LaserJet II 1993 HP LaserJet 4p 2008 HP LaserJet P1006 2016 HP LaserJet Pro M201dw Annual energy cost: $56 Annual energy cost: $13 Annual energy cost: $3 Annual energy cost: <$1 Used 585 kWh/ year Used 100 kWh/ year Used 27 kWh/ year Used 10 kWh/ year Printed 8 ppm Printed 12 ppm Printed 17 ppm Printed 26 ppm Instant-on technology products can help reduce their environmental impact and lower our customers’ operating costs. Product energy efficiency is a critically im- portant parameter that drives HP’s research and development activities and supports our Design for the Environment (DfE) program. Founded in 1992, our DfE program guides every aspect of product design and development, including ef- forts to reduce power consumption. The efforts have certainly paid off. In fact, since 2010, on average we have reduced the energy consumption of our personal system portfolio by 25 percent*, our HP LaserJet portfolio by 56 per- cent*, and our HP inkjet portfolio by 20 percent*. Delivering an innovative product portfolio Auto-on/Auto-oﬀ Energy eﬀicient toner Auto duplexing on the design, quality, performance, or reliability our customers demand. The HP Elite Slice is a great example of those efforts. Introduced in 2016 for customers look- ing for a compact yet powerful desktop solution, this product is smaller in size compared to older ultra-slim desktop towers — and consumes 50 percent less energy than a comparable small form factor desktop*. Similarly, the new HP Z2 Mini G3 Workstation is a thinner and lighter system than traditional small form factor workstations and desktops — and it too is more energy efficient. Designed for com- puter aided design professionals, this system is over 50 percent smaller and up to 71 percent more energy efficient than the HP Z240 SFF Workstation and up to 50 percent more ener- gy efficient than the HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF*. And we continue to improve the energy efficiency of our product portfolio, without making tradeoffs Issue 6 · Spring 2017 · Innovation Journal 15
