HP Transportation

• HP has participated in the public-private sector voluntary program Best Workplaces for Commuters^SM since 2004. Best Workplaces for Commuters^SM was established by the DOT and EPA to publicly recognize employers whose commuter benefits address parking, congestion, and environmental impacts associated with driving-alone commuting. 

• HP currently has nearly 13,000 employees worldwide who work exclusively from home offices. Approximately 10,400 of those employees work in the United States and Canada. We estimate that in 2006, the Telework program saved almost 2.5 million round-trip commutes, avoiding approximately 65 million miles of road travel and almost 28,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

• HP’s Halo video conferencing technology, with high definition video and no speech delay, simulates a face–to–face meeting. Using studios at HP’s major facilities, project teams often meet virtually and avoid flying to meetings. As confidence grows in the technology, employees are using it for increasingly complex assignments. HP currently has 29 halo rooms in nine countries, and has plans for further expansion.
