HP Inc's footprint was 16,402,000 tCO2e in fiscal 2025, the sum of its printed Scope 1, market-based Scope 2 and Scope 3 lines, down on 2024 after a rise the year before. Materials and manufacturing in its supply chain account for 11,501,000 t and the energy its products use for 3,780,000 t. Its 66% renewable electricity figure rests 91% on unbundled certificates, so it is not counted as a strength. SBTi validated its absolute targets to cut Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 50% by FY2030 and 90% by FY2040 from FY2019, with net zero by FY2040. 31% of the plastic in its devices was recycled in 2025, but press reports say its printer firmware blocks remanufactured cartridges.
