Hewlett–Packard releases list of suppliers

Date: 3 Apr 2008

Hewlett–Packard has released a list of its top suppliers, representing 95 percent of the company's supplier spend, in a ramping up of transparency in the IT sector.

HP says that it requires all suppliers to comply with the Electronic Industry Code of Conduct, covering pollution prevention, resource reduction, hazardous substances and air emissions. The company hopes that the increased visibility will result in operational changes in practices, and will encourage other companies to follow suit.

Mark Hurd, Hewlett–Packard's chairman and CEO said: "HP is sharing our list of top suppliers to enable collaboration, increase supplier accountability and build on our commitment to supply chain transparency."
