The Report’s Three Pillars: Innovation, Sustainability, and Humanity

The 2022 Living Progress Report outlines HPE’s strategy through three interconnected pillars:

  1. Technology for Transformation
    • AI/ML Revolution: HPE’s ​GreenLake AI platform now supports 1,000+ enterprise workflows, automating tasks like network anomaly detection and predictive maintenance. A case study with a global airline reduced flight delays by 25% using HPE’s AI-driven operations center.
    • Edge-to-Cloud Architecture: The ​HPE Ezmeral platform enables businesses to deploy hybrid clouds with zero-trust security, processing 50 million+ IoT events daily for a manufacturing client.
  2. Sustainability as a Core Competitiveness
    • Carbon Neutrality Ambitions: HPE pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040, with 65% of its data centers powered by renewable energy by 2025. A pilot project in Iceland uses geothermal cooling to cut energy consumption by 40%.
    • Circular Economy Initiatives: The ​HPE Recycle Program repurposed 1.2 million pounds of e-waste in 2022, partnering with NGOs to refurbish devices for underserved communities.
  3. Human-Centric Innovation
    • Digital Equity: HPE donated $50M to bridge the global digital divide, providing laptops and internet access to 1 million students in rural India.
    • Employee Well-being: The company introduced ​AI-driven mental health tools to support 300,000+ employees, reducing burnout by 30% in pilot programs.

Real-World Impact: Case Studies from the Report

The report highlights transformative projects driving measurable change:
