要点直击 HPE承诺在2022年之前以基于订制、按用付费和消费驱动的即服务模式交付所有的产品组合，这一努力正在帮助客户取得可持续的成效。 HPE始终致力于成为模范企业公民，不仅在环境保护方面处于领先地位，还注重提升道德、包容性和多元化水平，这些努力已经成为HPE在市场中的竞争优势。 HPE为客户和社区提供支持，帮助他们应对疫情期间前所未有的挑战。 本年度ESG报告显示，HPE以“即服务”为核心的战略正在推动可持续的数字化转型 6月3日，HPE公布了2020年《美好生活计划报告》。报告显示，HPE将继续致力于帮助客户推动数字化转型、减少碳足迹、在价值链中的各个环节维护相关方权益，并帮助客户和社区应对新冠肺炎疫情带来的巨大挑战。HPE总裁兼首席执行官安东尼奥·奈里表示:“2020年是史无前例的一年，它清晰地表明了，像HPE这样的企业有责任推动变革，并回馈我们的世界。2020年的挑战促使我们一定要履行合力向善的承诺，利用科技改进人们生活和工作的方式。” 以“即服务”战略为核心，推动客户实现可持续转型 HPE在应对气候危机方面所做出的最大贡献是帮助客户减少IT基础架构有关的碳排放。公司承诺在2022年之前以基于订制、按用付费和消费驱动的即服务模式交付整体产品组合， 这一努力正在帮助客户取得可持续的成效。HPE GreenLake即服务产品组合采用高效能的硬件和解决方案，减少了过度配置，可以帮助客户在五年内平均节省30%的能源。 与环境可持续性直接相关的业务销售额比2019财年增长了44%，达到 8.47 亿美元。一个典型的例子是，HPE与LyondellBassell公司签署了迄今为止最大一笔HPE GreenLake云服务订单，帮助这家世界大型塑料、化学品和炼油公司推动数字化转型，同时提高环境效率。 此外，HPE 有50%的产品组合具有可持续和高效能属性——自2015年以来，其产品组合的能效性提升了300%。例如，HPE SimpliVity服务器为客户节约了70%的能耗，公司有78款超级计算机入选2020年11月绿色超级计算机500强(Green 500)榜单。与此同时，HPE技术再生中心（HPE’s Technology Renewal Centers）回收了300多万件资产——包含报废或弃用的IT设备，而且品牌不限，其中87%的设备经过翻新之后重新焕发了生机。 树立包容和负责任的文化 HPE一直致力于成为模范企业公民，我们不仅大力倡导环境保护，还注重提升道德、包容性和多元化水平，这些努力已经成为我们在市场中的竞争优势。长期以来，HPE非常重视供应链中的劳务问题，参照KnowTheChain针对ICT行业制定的标杆，HPE在劳动力管理方面排名第一，在企业员工权力测评中排名第二。HPE在开发、部署和使用人工智能的过程中，一直将伦理标准视为首要条件——2020 年，HPE制定了一套AI道德准则，指导公司在使用AI相关技术时防范风险和不利影响。HPE还承诺在2050年之前实现全价值链碳中和。与2016年相比，HPE去年由运营产生的温室气体(GHG)排放量减少了62%，提前5年实现了减排55%的科学基础目标。HPE的运营用电有44%来自可再生能源，并且通过持续加强与供应商的合作，帮助他们制定科学的减排目标，在采购、运输物流和制造环节上实现供应链的节能减排。 HPE长期以来一直倡导包容性和多元化，2020年在美国爆发的种族不公现象，促使HPE与社会一起要求变革。为履行公司无条件包容的文化承诺，首席执行官安东尼奥·奈里组建了公司的“包容性与多元化理事会”，由其担任主席，参与公司内部跨群体互动，并就多样性、平等和包容性等议题设定了远大目标。 HPE董事会是业内最多元化的董事会之一，54%的董事都带有一个或多个多元化背景。2020年，女性员工数量在HPE全球各层级包括技术岗位和管理岗位均有增长。与科技行业基准相比，在全球性别表征以及美国族裔多元化两个类别中，HPE的表现都处于领先地位。 在纷扰的一年中，我们对客户和社区的支持显得尤为重要 合力向善 在纷扰的一年中，我们对客户和社区的支持显得尤为重要。新冠疫情使社会陷入停滞并阻碍了世界经济的发展，值此危难之际，HPE金融服务率先行动，提供了20亿美元的融资，帮助因疫情而陷入困境的公司渡过难关，同时应对因突然采用远程办公方式在连接和其他基础架构方面出现的新需求。随着疫情的蔓延，世界许多地区的数字化能力差异突显，为此，HPE向学校、医院和其他机构捐赠了价值2600万美元的Aruba网络工具包，并且改造了南亚的数十所电子医疗中心，扩大了针对偏远地区的检测和远程医疗服务。 此外，HPE还将自有技术和创新成果投入抗疫之中。HPE向“新冠病毒高性能计算联盟”（COVID-19 Supercomputing…

2020年9月18日 – 昨天，中国美国商会2020年科技创新峰会在北京希尔顿酒店顺利召开。本次峰会上25位来自微软、慧与、领英等科技公司和智库的从业专家、学者分别就当前最流行的科技话题，如企业数字化转型、新基建、科技脱钩等进行了深入探讨，峰会线上和到场嘉宾共达200余人。 在首个主题演讲中，微软亚洲区副总裁Antony Cook与我们分享了在经济复苏时期的技术关注重点。Cook提到疫情给我们的日常生活和商业都带来了数字转型 ，这其中包括在家办公、在线教育，还有数字化医疗。然而，“对于微软来说，我们思考得更多的是技术在我们的企业社会责任中扮演着什么角色、我们如何提供帮助。” Cook说道。微软所付诸的行动包括建立新冠肺炎病毒洞察网站、远程医疗平台、为中小企业提供数字化解决方案，再到疫情期间运用基于云的销售系统，维护了斯里兰卡有 150 年历史之久的茶业，等等。除了技术创新，为了应对日益扩大的技能差距，微软还计划到2020年底将数字领域的技能带给全球2500万人。 慧与中国区董事总经理朱海翔随后在第二个主题演讲中介绍了慧与是如何通过转型以适应新环境、获得成长，最终建立起一个包含所有利益相关者的科技生态系统、为社会带来积极影响的。朱海翔首先指出，企业必须采用数字化商业模式才能获取竞争优势。他随即提到，如今社会对“企业应该带头应对社会发展中的挑战”的呼声越来越高。因此，以数字化为核心、以实现利益相关者的价值为目标正变得越来越重要。然后，他详细阐述了慧与如何完成自身的数字化转型，并通过提供慧与 “GreenLake” ，一种灵活的即用服务产品，来更有效地支持客户的数字化转型的。最后，朱海翔还向大家介绍了慧与落实“在中国、为中国”战略的一些例子。 领英中国总裁陆坚随即与大家分享了从领英平台中获得的最新工作、技能要求上的趋势。陆坚表示，最有前景的工作与颠覆性技术密切相关。“更值得注意的是，” 陆说，“技术将主宰未来的工作趋势，但以人为本的技能将更有价值。” 在第四个主题演讲中，美国半导体行业协会全球政策副总裁Jimmy Goodrich和大家分享了在紧张的双边关系下半导体供应链的现状。在向大家介绍完半导体产业的发展历史和中国在该产业发展中的作用之后，Jimmy阐明了政策制定者在维护供应链和维持创新方面可以采取的一些举措，包括取消关税、加强监管、促进创新等等。 主题演讲结束之后，微软大中华区副总裁包嘉峰、普华永道中国合伙人周星、英特尔副总裁Brent Young和36氪高级副总裁周韡韡聚集一堂，就新常态下的5G和新基建展开了第一个专题探讨。4位嘉宾对这一新领域的国际投资前景、国内企业和跨国公司可以展开的合作方向，以及新基建将如何改变人们的生活等话题展开了热烈探讨。 在第二个专题讨论里，来自强生JLABS上海的负责人Sharon Chan和3 家杰出的医疗行业初创公司CEO向大家介绍了他们在不同医疗领域正在从事的一些创新工作，其中包括如何运用技术平台更好地协助药物研发、创新心理健康解决方案以及协助医生为患者提供更好的手术方案。这些介绍帮助我们更清楚地了解了医疗健康技术是如何转型的。然后，4位企业家讨论了人工智能在医疗保健中的应用、疫情对其工作产生的影响，以及医疗保健行业的初创企业应如何武装自己、更好地应对如今环境中的不确定性。 峰会下午会员专享的环节中， 来自朝亚首席执行官Oliver Jones、默克中国创新中心创新孵化投资总监李翊、中国美国商会总裁毕艾伦、贝恩公司合伙人Velu Sinha、韩礼士基金会研究员Alex Capri、清华大学中国科技政策研究中心研究员董洁林、合一资本创始合伙人许亮进一步就当前最热门的科技话题交换了意见，包括中美技术脱钩、数据治理的影响、数据中心开发等等。 欲了解更多独家会员信息，请联系中国美国商会Yaxian Xiong, yxxiong@amchamchina.org.
