Now available in 43 countries around the globe, the first of its kind partner assessment, resource and training program provides >10,000 partners with the opportunity to join HP in its efforts to generate meaningful impact on climate action, human rights and digital equity. HP is looking to enrol at least 50% of its HP Amplify partners in the voluntary program by 2025. To date, 20% of partners have signed the HP Amplify Impact pledge, exceeding the target of 10% for the first year of the program. Partners who choose to take the HP Amplify Impact pledge in qualified countries can choose between two distinct tracks – Catalyst and Changemaker. Catalyst members take the HP Amplify Impact Pledge, participate in a sustainability assessment, and report sales opportunities. Catalyst partners have access to resources through the new HP Amplify Impact Initiatives Hub and an opportunity to be recognised via an annual awards program. The Changemaker track is optimised to assist partners that do not yet have a sustainability strategy in place in support of the development of a long-term sustainability plan. The HP Amplify Impact program provides partners of all levels with training, sales tools, marketing assets, and access to HP’s Sustainability & Compliance Centre (SCC), HP LIFE and HP Planet Partners. Participating partners will be recognised via certification and a global annual awards program. Award categories include the sustainability as a business opportunity award, most comprehensive DE&I strategy award, Planet Partner award, carbon footprint award and community award. Submissions and award category details are available on the HP Partner Portal. www.hp.com ABBYY strengthens partner ecosystem ABBYY launched its new global partner program, ABBYYOne, to enable partners to accelerate intelligent process automation (IPA) throughout the enterprise.
