No. 1 Corporate Citizen !

It's not a joke : Corporate Responsibility Magazine gives HP high marks in environment, human rights, employee relations, philanthropy, and more...
HP took the top spot in Corporate Responsibility Magazine’s 100 Best Corporate Citizens list for 2010, rising from fifth place last year. The list is considered the preeminent of its kind.
“Global citizenship is in our DNA at HP. We hold ourselves to very high standards, so we are very pleased and honored to be recognized for our efforts, particularly by this respected source,” said Gabi Zedlmayer, vice president, Global Social Innovation.

Global citizenship is one of HP’s seven corporate objectives, rooted in the company’s founding values and key to success. While this recognition highlights HP’s most recent accomplishments, global citizenship has influenced how it has run its business for more than 70 years.
“Our work in this realm encompasses HP’s commitment to align our business goals with our impacts on society and the planet,” Zedlmayer continued. “We recognize that our actions can make very real differences in the quality of people’s lives around the world, and we will continue to work toward creating a legacy of real and lasting change.”

How the ranking is determined :
The 100 Best Corporate Citizens List is based on more than 360 data points of publicly available information in seven categories, weighted as follows:
Environment — 19.5%
Climate Change — 16.5%
Human Rights — 16%
Employee Relations — 19.5%
Governance — 7%
Philanthropy — 9%
Financial — 12.5%

  3. Less than two weeks ago I had lunch with a group of current and laid-off employees from HP. The conditions under which they work and are replaced by offshore workers is just disgusting.

    I retired from HP in 2005 because I could see the handwriting on the wall. I found HP products to be generally well made and reasonably priced and was proud (sort of) to buy them and recommend them.

    After recent experiences with friends like the ones I had lunch with, I've decided not to buy from HP any longer. The company has become a coldblooded entity basing it's actions almost entirely on profit.

    I am submitting this anonymously to protect friends who still work at HP.
