COMMUNITY VOICE
Meet amazing HP talent
How does sustainability inspire your work?
Jay Celorie
Human Rights Office Lead, Sustainability, HP
Sustainability is about operating our company in a manner that con-
tributes to the greater good of people and planet, while making a
profit. I’m inspired by the opportunity to focus on and advance our
mission to respect human rights around the world — in our operations
and by influencing suppliers through our business relationships. This
work is consistent with HP’s core values: to make a difference in the
world and the communities where we operate.
Kirstie McIntyre
Director, Sustainability and Compliance Operations,
Supply Chain Operations, HP
The circular economy is this century’s Galileo moment. The tradi-
tional linear economic model of taking raw materials from the earth,
making and consuming “stuff,” and then throwing it away is clearly
no longer sustainable. With a growing global population, we need
to think creatively about developing customer value, while reducing
the amount of stuff we consume. By working collaboratively with
suppliers, channel partners, and customers, we are inspiring others
to become sustainability heroes — developing service models and
closed material loops, reducing waste, and creating added value.

Mary Curtiss
Global Head of Energy and Sustainability, Corporate
Real Estate and Workplace Services, HP
Growing up in a farming family in Iowa, my grandmother was a
huge mentor for me. She ran her farm in a sustainable way — using
resources wisely and focusing on healthy ways to solve problems.
HP has given me a fantastic opportunity to combine my passion for
sustainability with my career. In fact, sustainability is my job. In my
role, I’m working to set strategies and tactical plans that will help us
achieve our corporate goals, while creating a healthy and sustainable
workplace for all of our employees everywhere.
Ashish Sahay
Head of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR),
HP India
Our corporate vision of “making life better for everyone, everywhere,”
is clearly reflected in our various sustainability programs in India,
which are designed to engage and empower the communities in
which HP operates through community contributions, philanthrop-
ic partnerships, and programs that tackle major social challenges.
We strive to balance our business imperatives with our commitment
towards society by adopting a planned and phased approach to
sustainable development goals that brings our CSR vision to life.
