Sustainability Intern EMEA 2022

At HP, our ambition is to become the world’s most sustainable and just technology company. Sustainable Impact is fundamental to HP’s reinvention journey – fuelling our innovation and growth, strengthening our business for the long term, and enabling us to develop and deliver the best solutions for our customers.  We are committed to developing and delivering an environmentally sustainable product portfolio, improving the sustainability of our own global operations, and partnering with our suppliers to reduce their environmental impact. We believe that our actions should address some of the greatest challenges we face as a society, including climate change, human rights and digital equity.

We are proud of the progress we have made on our Sustainable Impact commitments but know there’s still more work to do.  Over the next decade, HP will stand for a new era of progress— where climate change is reversed, human rights are universally protected, and digital equity democratizes opportunity for all. This is an opportunity to be part of that journey and to make a real positive and sustainable impact.
