HP has released its 2023 Sustainable Impact Report, and I am immensely proud of the strides we've made toward a more sustainable and equitable future. Our supplier diversity and inclusion program, established in 1968, is a cornerstone of this effort. Its mission is to cultivate a world-class, diverse, and inclusive supply chain by fostering strong relationships with small businesses and companies owned by women, minorities, veterans, service-disabled veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Indigenous peoples. In 2023 alone, our commitment in the United States resulted in US$358 million spent with small businesses, US$210 million with minority-owned businesses, and US$107 million with women-owned businesses. The overall economic impact of our supplier diversity program reached an impressive US$878 million. These achievements were made possible through the deep commitment of our leaders and staff, along with robust collaborations with esteemed organizations such as National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC), WBENC, WEConnect International, Disability:IN, and tech:SCALE. Together, we are paving the way for a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.

🌍 Navigating the Path to Carbon Neutrality: Reflecting on a Transformative Workshop Experience 🌱 Last week, alongside my colleague Corinne Hirzel-Andréan, I had the opportunity to participate in a captivating workshop focused on one of the most pressing issues of our time: carbon footprint.   The workshop, aptly named "2tons," refers to the 2 tons of CO2 emissions per year per person that each individual must achieve by 2050 to comply with the commitments of the Paris Agreement, aiming to keep the increase in global temperature below 1.5 degrees. Reflecting on this, I must admit my carbon footprint is currently much higher... 😔   So, what can I do individually, and what can we do collectively? Within a small, diverse group, we embarked on a collective journey to deepen our understanding of the levers driving the transition towards a low-carbon future.   Through engaging discussions, we envisioned pathways towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, evaluating tangible solutions across sectors such as food, transportation, industry, and energy. As the "ecological minister", I proposed measures to develop biogas, inspired by another participant successful transition from charcoal to biogas in his own company.   By adopting a systemic approach, we analyzed the roles of governments, businesses, communities, and individuals in driving meaningful change. As we grappled with the challenges of climate change and inequality, the workshop served as a catalyst for introspection and action. It underscored the urgency of collaborative efforts to forge a more sustainable and equitable world for generations to come. 💪   Let us heed the lessons learned and embark on a collective endeavor to navigate the complexities of the climate crisis. Together, we can pave the way towards a greener, more resilient future. #ClimateAction #Sustainability #CarbonNeutrality 🌍 2tonnes Corinne Hirzel-Andréan @Julianadavis Jean-René Levy @julienclery Do you want to estimate your own carbon footprint? https://lnkd.in/edYZJFSc

Yesterday we published our 2024 Environmental Sustainability Report that dives into the progress we’ve made and how we’re continuing to learn and evolve.    We think about Microsoft’s role in sustainability through three spheres of influence: Taking care of our own environmental footprint, bringing digital technology for net zero to our customers, and enabling a more sustainable world.     We also aim to be a constructive force in EU environmental policy conversations and at the forefront of implementing EU regulation such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, European Sustainability Reporting Standards, the Eco-design for Sustainable Products Regulation and many more.     We believe that technology, including AI solutions, is critical for accelerating climate progress. At the same time, we understand the environmental challenges posed by the growth of generative AI and this year’s report shows how we plan to tackle those challenges, empowering and working with partners in Europe and around the world.     https://lnkd.in/dQBqztXP

Thankful for the bountiful opportunity to learn, get inspired, and be a part of the OnBoarding Women community. Our collective business acumen, humanitarian hearts, and passion to empower and enable all through our areas of expertise was grounding. According to Deloitte’s “Women in the Boardroom: A Global Perspective” report, women hold only 23.3% of board seats globally, with even less representation as board chairs and CEOs. However, diverse boards perform better financially and have a competitive advantage. They also better represent the interests of various stakeholders, including employees, customers, and investors. This is why government initiatives such as quotas and disclosures matter. Countries with such initiatives have higher female board representation, with France leading the way. Cheers to all women leaders that are bold, daring, influential, and making a visionary statement at every table they are at. Let's continue to strive for gender diversity and empower all women to reach their full potential. #BoardDiversity #EmpoweredWomen #representationmatters Link to the full report: https://lnkd.in/d7devRws Madrona Venture Labs, PERKINS COIE FOUNDATION, Deloitte, Cascadia Capital Partners, SPENCER STUART LIMITED

Today, HP has unveiled a new global Sustainable Impact Report with Oxford Economics, revealing that 76% of global leaders believe technology is essential for economic inclusion and that AI will help drive progress towards sustainability and social impact goals. We’re working on this at the ground level. For example, at HP ANZ, we are proud to contribute through initiatives such as our collaboration with Royal Far West, providing digital tools to children in remote communities, and the 'Reinvent the Classroom' initiative, transforming traditional classrooms into innovative learning environments. In fact, HP is committed to accelerating digital equity, aiming to empower 150 million people by 2030. Our HP LIFE program has enrolled over 1.2 million users, and we are expanding our offerings with new AI skills courses. New initiatives like the HP AI in Social Impact Award support social entrepreneurs using AI to advance education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. I’m proud to work for an organisation that strives for a more equitable and sustainable future.

In 2022 SAP launched the TRANSFORM Support Hub to help create a nexus for social enterprises to connect with seasoned professionals. Thanks to program partners Unilever and the TRANSFORM coalition, powered by MovingWorlds, the initiative has been a great success and a catalyst for change in fostering sustainable and equitable business practices.     Over 2023, the Hub has successfully mobilized +120 SAP employees across 26 countries to engage in 51 projects, leading to a significant in-kind contribution of 458,835 USD. This initiative underscores SAP’s dedication to leveraging our global resources to drive positive social and environmental outcomes. I am proud of the progress we have made and am excited about the future opportunities this platform will unveil.      The Hub is unique and stands out for its holistic approach, offering a broad spectrum of non-financial support; from educational resources, pro bono consulting, and helping to facilitate commercial partnerships. It’s a platform where corporations, including ours, can integrate social and environmental objectives into their core strategies, enhancing employee leadership development in the process.

In our global survey of more than 18,000 people, more than a third said they have too many meetings, and that most are inefficient. Organizations can use AI to help create a more thoughtful meeting culture and purposeful engagement. #msftadvocate #microsoft #technology #artificialintelligence #microsoft365 #humanresources
