In 2004, the firm
launched the Cartridges for Dragon Recycling programme in China's major

non-governmental organization Roots & Shoots. Roots & Shoots is the

factory, most of HP's suppliers are based in the country. Its sourcing in China

China-based suppliers, including time and human resources, to help them get
familiar with environmental regulations and comply with HP's requirements in the
context of CSR, Sully notes.
