HP Offers Solutions Contributing to 1 Billion Tonnes of CO2 Emissions Reductions

HP Offers the First Low Carbon IT Solutions Guide for Customers
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
HP (NYSE:HPQ) published a guide that identifies the potential to
reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by using existing HP solutions.

HP's white paper, titled "Low Carbon IT Solutions," further
supports the company-wide HP Eco Solutions program.

Beyond documenting the efficiency of information technology (IT)
solutions, the white paper helps customers identify those products and
services that can help them transition to operate with a lower carbon
footprint.

"HP is committed to developing products and services that provide
our customers with the opportunity for smarter growth," said Pierre
Delforge, manager, Energy and Climate Strategy, HP. "HP has identified
eco solutions that provide countries, businesses and individuals with
the tools to significantly reduce their climate impact."

HP's white paper builds upon the report developed by Dennis
Pamlin, global policy advisor, WWF-Sweden, called "The potential
global CO2 reductions from ICT use: Identifying and assessing the
opportunities to reduce the first billion tonnes of CO2." The report
identifies 10 existing IT solutions that reduce CO2 emissions in areas
including buildings, transportation networks and industrial
production. With additional data and further analysis, particularly in
the emerging economies, the ultimate potential of information and
communication technologies (ICT) for curbing emissions can be further
quantified.

Solutions described in HP's white paper include:

-- HP research into smart cooling and its use in the design of
data center facilities that reduce energy usage and greenhouse
gas emissions from commercial premises.

-- HP innovation in telepresence and videoconferencing that
enable improved virtual collaboration to reduce the
environmental impacts of international travel. HP's use of
this technology is expected to save approximately 20,000
international trips and at least 32,000 tonnes per year of
carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e), an internationally
recognized measure of greenhouse emissions.

-- HP mobile computing technology, including flat panel displays
and notebook PCs, which increases workplace flexibility to
reduce energy consumption from non-critical travel.

-- HP office and digital print solutions that help customers
establish on-demand print and workflow processes that help
avoid unnecessary printing and transportation of physical
materials.

"This guide to low carbon IT solutions by one of the world's
largest technology companies is welcomed and an important contribution
in response to the urgent climate challenge," said Dennis Pamlin,
global policy advisor, WWF-Sweden.

series of three, which will be released this fall.

A comprehensive partnership

Over the past year, WWF-US and HP have worked together to develop
a comprehensive approach to climate change that could serve as a model
for early action. At its core is a commitment from HP to reduce the
carbon footprint of its products and across its worldwide operations
by a total of 6 million tonnes by 2010.

HP has also worked with WWF to identify emerging technologies that
could help achieve broader carbon-reduction gains, such as
high-quality videoconferencing. And, the company is supporting WWF's
efforts to adapt some of the most important ecosystems on Earth to a
warming climate. Currently, the focus is on expanding the partnership
to include broader sustainability issues, such as sourcing of
responsibly managed forest products for paper and packaging and
addressing environmental impacts embedded in the supply chain.

HP and the environment

For decades HP has been an environmental leader, driving company
stewardship through its holistic design for environment strategy. HP
influences industry action through its long-standing commitment to
maintain supply chain responsibility, sustain energy efficient
operations, reduce its climate impact and offer product reuse and
recycling options. HP also makes it easier for customers to recognize
environmentally preferable features through HP Eco Solutions, a
program that helps customers identify products and services designed
with the environment in mind. More information is available at
