HP has built genuinely strong absolute carbon reductions (27% since 2019) and SBTi-validated targets including a 90% reduction by 2040. But supply chain emissions still dominate, rose 21% in 2022, and remain largely uncontrolled. Circular economy progress stalls at 43% against a 75% target. An EPEAT greenwashing complaint over cartridge restrictions undercuts credibility.
