The report addresses implementation of the Global Compact principles in a section of the report called "What we stand for", where HP describes policies in support of its global citizenship commitment. These policies relate to Corporate Governance, Environmental, Health & Safety Policy, Equal Opportunity, and Human Rights and Labor. This section of the report also highlights the company''s Standards of Business Conduct, Social and Environmental Responsibility Policy, and Supplier Code of Conduct. HP''s Human Rights and Labor Policy was adopted in 2003 and is imposed on HP suppliers through the Supplier Code of Conduct.

The report also addresses HP''s actions in the areas of human resources (privacy, labor practices, employee privacy, human rights, health and safety), supply chains, operations (managing environmental impacts, climate change, energy, travel, ozone depleting substances, water, waste compliance remediation), products (design for environment, energy efficiency, materials innovation, design for recyclability, packaging and recycling), customer engagement and socially responsible investing.
