Sustainability stories for HP — Climate Action, Human Rights, Digital Equity.

The challenge

Sustainability content lives in a default voice — the corporate report, the certifications, the ESG charts. HP's Climate Action, Human Rights, and Digital Equity programs were real and substantive, but the content explaining them risked sliding into that default tone. Few people share corporate sustainability content. Almost no one reposts a chart.

The challenge: tell HP's sustainability story in a voice and format that people would actually engage with — social-first, human, story-led.

The work

I led the development of a social-first content plan + short films built around three pillars:

• Climate Action. Stories of people, communities, and initiatives addressing climate — and the role HP products played in supporting that work.
• Human Rights. Voices and projects working on human-rights outcomes; the technology and tools that enabled them.
• Digital Equity. The work of bridging access gaps — and HP's role in equipping people previously left out of the digital economy.

The format brief: short films and social-first content templates that put the people in front of the camera, with HP products in service to their work — not the other way around. Brand voice calibrated to feel like the publisher cared about the cause, not the press release.

The outcome

Sustainability content that read as documentary, not ESG. The films and templates ran across HP's owned channels and surfaced in earned media coverage — the kind of measurement that doesn't fit cleanly into a campaign metric but moves brand reputation where it matters.

The wider point — sustainability storytelling fails when the brand insists on being the protagonist. The brand wins when it helps the protagonists tell their own story.
