| Comprehensive | HP Inc. offers a highly detailed picture of its climate-policy lobbying. It names numerous specific measures it has engaged on, including the extension of the U.S. wind Production Tax Credit, the clean-energy provisions of the Build Back Better Act, the SEC’s proposed climate-risk disclosure rule, the Department of Energy’s Grid Resiliency Pricing Rule, California Energy Commission energy-efficiency standards for computers and monitors, and the EU’s Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC and related imaging-equipment voluntary agreement, as well as international frameworks such as the Paris Agreement. The company also explains how it tries to influence these policies: signing and sending letters to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and to congressional leaders, submitting formal comments to the SEC, taking leadership roles in industry groups like EuroVAPrint, directly collaborating with the California Energy Commission, and engaging EU officials through DigitalEurope, thereby identifying both the mechanisms and the precise targets of its efforts. Finally, HP is explicit about the outcomes it seeks—extending renewable-energy tax credits, blocking rules that would “undermine clean energy generation,” aligning EU imaging-equipment rules with circular-economy goals, tightening ENERGY STAR® and EPEAT® criteria, and urging governments to publish 1.5-degree-aligned Nationally Determined Contributions—while also stating broader aims such as “advocating for prioritizing energy efficiency in government procurement” and “supporting transparency in the appropriate disclosure of governance, oversight, and management of climate-related risks and metrics.” Taken together, these disclosures demonstrate a comprehensive level of transparency across policies lobbied, lobbying methods, and desired policy outcomes. | 4 |
