In 2002, Hewlett-Packard became the first electronics company to establish a social responsability and environmental sustainability policy in its supply chain. Speaking at the 2007 Socially and Environmentally Responsible Supply Chains conference, Tony Prophet, HP senior vice president, talks about the company's moves to reduce its environmental footprint throughout the product life cycle. He also discusses the company's spearheading of the electronic industry code of conduct, which encourages responsible management and operational practices in labor, human rights, health and safety, the environment, and ethics across the industry’s global supply chain. Find out how HP is an exemplar of social responsibility and evironmental sustainability in its business practices.
As the senior vice president for Personal System’s Group (PSG) Supply Chain Operations, Tony Prophet is responsible for leading HP's global personal systems supply chain operations and for central direct procurement for all of HP. Prophet joined HP from United Technologies Corporation (UTC), where he held various senior management positions. Before his time with UTC, Prophet worked at Honeywell International. He has also served as founding president and CEO of Honeywell Power Systems, and as a partner with Booz Allen and Hamilton management consultants. Prophet joined General Motors (GM) right out of high school through a work/study program at the General Motors Institute (now called Kettering University), where he received his BSIE degree. After graduation, he remained with GM working at both the assembly operations in Lansing, Mich., and the GM/Toyota JV (NUMMI) in Fremont, Calif., holding various engineering and operations positions. He has an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, which he attended as a GM Fellow, and served on the School’s Advisory Council.
