Economic Audit: Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Audit Phase: Economic Subject Entity: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE: HPE) State of Incorporation: Delaware, United States Principal Executive Offices: 1701 E. Mossy Oaks Road, Spring, Texas 77389, United States Audit Date: June 2026 Evidence Base: Published corporate disclosures, SEC filings, NGO research databases (Who Profits, AFSC Investigate), Israeli public-procurement records as compiled by NGO researchers, United Nations Human Rights Council documents, and trade/regulatory press. All factual claims carry an inline reference marker; source URLs are listed in the End Notes.

Supply Chain & Sourcing Relationships

Agricultural & Consumer Goods Sourcing

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is an enterprise information-technology company supplying servers, storage, networking, hybrid-cloud and IT services; it does not operate in fresh produce, food retail, food service, or agricultural commodity trading.¹² No public evidence identified of any sourcing relationship with Israeli agricultural exporters or aggregators (such as Mehadrin, Hadiklaim, Galilee Export or Agrexco), nor of any procurement of settlement-origin produce.

Technology Hardware & Component Sourcing

No public evidence identified of HPE disaggregating component-level country-of-origin sourcing to a degree that names Israeli-domiciled component manufacturers as primary suppliers in its public procurement disclosures.¹ HPE’s conflict-minerals Form SD and related supply-chain disclosures address mineral provenance and supplier due diligence but do not identify Israeli-origin component sourcing as a named line item.³

Domestic Reseller, Integrator & Distribution Channel

HPE supplies the Israeli market through its wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd., which itself acts as the contracting and supply vehicle for Israeli government and commercial customers (see Operational Presence and Profit Repatriation sections).⁴⁵ No public evidence identified of a separate special-purpose import vehicle structured specifically to route Israeli-origin goods into HPE’s global supply chain.

Product Origin, Labeling & Regulatory Compliance

Settlement-Origin Product Labeling

No public evidence identified. HPE does not sell food, agricultural, or consumer-retail products subject to country-of-origin produce-labelling regimes, and neither Who Profits nor AFSC Investigate raise settlement-origin product-labelling issues against HPE; their documented concerns relate to IT systems and government contracts (addressed below).⁴⁵

Regulatory Citations - Labeling

No public evidence identified of DEFRA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or equivalent regulatory citations against HPE concerning country-of-origin labelling or settlement-origin misdescription of goods.

Corporate Policy - Occupied-Territory Sourcing

No public evidence identified of a standalone HPE corporate policy specifically governing the procurement or labelling of physical goods originating in occupied territory. HPE’s sustainability (“Living Progress”) reporting addresses supply-chain human-rights due diligence in general terms.⁶

Investment, Capital & Financial Exposure

Foreign Direct Investment - Israel

HPE maintains a wholly owned Israeli subsidiary, Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd., with offices at 9 Dafna St., Ra’anana 4366223, Israel.⁴ HPE does not separately capitalise or itemise its Israeli operations as a standalone foreign-direct-investment line in its SEC filings; segment revenue is reported by reportable segment and by three broad geographic regions (Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa; Asia Pacific and Japan) without country-level breakdown.¹²

A historical settlement-located capital asset is documented: an R&D centre in Beitar Illit - an Israeli settlement in the occupied West Bank - was established in 2006 by Electronic Data Systems (EDS), came under Hewlett-Packard Company following HP’s 2008 acquisition of EDS, fell within Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s perimeter between the November 2015 split and 2017, and was subsequently transferred to DXC Technology after the 2017 spin-off of HPE’s Enterprise Services business.⁵⁷ AFSC additionally documents a 2005 “smart city” project (disaster-resilient storage and municipal wireless internet) associated with the settlement of Ariel, with current status recorded as unknown.⁵

R&D and Innovation Centers - Israel

HP/HPE has maintained an Israeli commercial and technical presence dating to at least 1998 (the year Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd. is recorded as founded), with offices reported in Ra’anana, Tel Aviv, Haifa and Be’er Sheva.⁷⁴ No public evidence identified of a specific, currently published Israel Innovation Authority grant or Preferred Technology Enterprise status attributed to HPE’s Israeli entity by name.

Parent & Beneficial Ownership

HPE is an independent publicly traded corporation incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Spring, Texas, formed on 1 November 2015 through the separation of the former Hewlett-Packard Company into HPE and HP Inc.⁸¹ No public evidence identified of an Israel-domiciled controlling shareholder, private-equity sponsor, or any beneficial owner with an Israel-specific mandate material to this audit; the largest holders are diversified global index/asset managers, which constitutes standard institutional portfolio exposure rather than a specific link.²

Portfolio & Fund Exposure

No public evidence identified of HPE holding Israeli sovereign bonds, Israel-focused investment funds, or material disclosed equity positions in Israeli-domiciled companies as treasury or investment holdings in its SEC filings.¹²

Institutional Investor Divestment & Exclusion Actions

AFSC Investigate documents a multi-year record of investor and institutional divestment from HP/HPE on the basis of its documented Israeli government and military technology relationships, including: Friends Fiduciary Corporation (2012), the Presbyterian Church (USA) General Assembly (2014), the Unitarian Universalist Association (March 2016), the University of Chicago (April 2016), Swedish bank SEB (June 2017), Dublin City Council (April 2018), the Students Federation of India (June 2018), Unite the Union of the UK (July 2019) and Swarthmore College (March 2019), among university and student-government actions.⁵ Norwegian state-fund coverage notes that HP/HPE is held within the Government Pension Fund Global’s portfolio and has been flagged in connection with West Bank–linked technology, but no public evidence identified confirming HPE’s formal addition to the fund’s published exclusion list as of the audit date (a tranche of West Bank/Gaza-linked exclusions decided 8 August 2025 had names pending publication).⁹¹⁰

Operational Presence & Market Activity

Physical Footprint - Israel

HPE operates in Israel through its wholly owned subsidiary Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd., headquartered in Ra’anana, with additional reported office locations in Tel Aviv, Haifa and Be’er Sheva.⁴⁷ A settlement-located R&D facility in Beitar Illit (occupied West Bank) was within the HP/HPE perimeter from 2006 until transfer to DXC Technology after 2017; no public evidence identified of an HPE-operated facility currently located inside a West Bank settlement, East Jerusalem, or the Golan Heights, following that transfer.⁵⁷

Israeli Government, Police, Prison & Military Contracts

This is the principal documented area of HPE’s economic nexus. Who Profits records the following contracts held through Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd.:

Population and Immigration Authority (Aviv system / Palestinian population registry): HPE is recorded as the sole supplier of Itanium servers for the Palestinian population registry since 2017; a 2017 contract provided servers and maintenance through 2020 for approximately USD 212,318, and a May 2023 contract covered three servers with services and maintenance for the June 2023–June 2026 period at NIS 3,829,410 (approximately USD 818,250).⁴ The Aviv system, which NGO research states includes the “Yesha” settler database, is documented as being gradually phased out in favour of an IBM-supplied successor system.¹¹⁴
Biometric database (Israel National Digital Agency / Ministry of Interior): HPE is recorded as the sole supplier of computing infrastructure since 2011; a March 2022 extension ran through April 2025 at NIS 3,500,000, and a May 2025 contract extended provision through May 2028 at NIS 3,129,750. Earlier biometric-documentation contracting documented by Who Profits includes a 2008 equipment-and-biometric-ID-cards contract and 2016 biometric services of approximately NIS 31 million.⁴¹¹
Israel Police: HPE provides operational servers, software and dedicated support; documented contracts include a March 2021 proactive-maintenance contract through December 2023 (NIS 4 million), a 2021–2024 Data Center Care engagement (NIS 4 million), and a January 2024 announced renewal for an additional three years through December 2026 (NIS 4 million).⁴
Israel Prison Service: documented server-maintenance contracting totalling NIS 2,695,268 over 2015–2020, followed by maintenance contracts of NIS 371,856 (February 2023, through February 2024), NIS 364,075 (April 2024) and NIS 445,000 (March 2025, through February 2026).⁴ AFSC additionally documents HPE’s earlier role developing and maintaining the “Kidma” prison-management system used by the Israel Prison Service.⁵
Israeli military server farm: Who Profits records that in July 2024 HPE was selected to lead a new Israeli military server-farm project, providing the hardware and managing selection of the construction contractor.⁴

AFSC further documents historical HP/HPE roles including the “Basel” biometric access-control system used at West Bank military checkpoints (recorded as scrapped at the end of 2016) and a multi-year exclusive server-provision relationship with the Israeli military and security forces.⁵

Channel & Commercial Market Activity

HPE markets its enterprise products and services to the Israeli commercial market through its Israeli subsidiary and partner ecosystem.⁴ No public evidence identified disaggregating HPE’s Israeli commercial (non-government) revenue at the investor-disclosure level.

Employment

No public evidence identified of HPE disclosing country-level Israeli headcount in its SEC filings or sustainability reports.¹⁶ Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd. is a registered Israeli legal entity and is therefore subject to Israeli corporate tax on locally generated income, though no specific tax-contribution figure is publicly disclosed.⁴

Corporate Structure & Foundational Ties

Founding, Incorporation & Heritage

HPE was incorporated in Delaware and began independent operations on 1 November 2015, following the separation of the former Hewlett-Packard Company (founded 1939, Palo Alto, California) into Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc.⁸¹ HPE is not an Israeli-founded company. Its Israeli operations are inherited from Hewlett-Packard’s pre-2015 presence; the Israeli subsidiary, Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd., is recorded as founded in 1998.⁷ HP’s 2008 acquisition of Electronic Data Systems brought legacy Israeli government-IT relationships (including population-registry work) into the group.⁵

Headquarters and Domicile

HPE is legally domiciled in Delaware and operationally headquartered in Spring, Texas (Houston metropolitan area), having relocated from San Jose, California, in 2020.⁸¹ No public evidence identified of any dual or legacy headquarters arrangement in Israel.

Israeli Subsidiary Structure

HPE’s documented Israeli operating entity is the wholly owned Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd.⁴ The UN Special Rapporteur’s July 2025 report A/HRC/59/23 states that, since the 2015 split into Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc., “opaque business structures have obscured the roles of their seven remaining Israeli subsidiaries.”¹² The 2017 spin-off of HPE’s Enterprise Services business merged it with Computer Sciences Corporation to form DXC Technology, to which certain occupation-related contracts and the Beitar Illit R&D centre were transferred.⁵⁸ HPE completed its acquisition of Juniper Networks on 2 July 2025.⁸

State and Institutional Linkages - Israel

No public evidence identified of Israeli state ownership, government-appointed directors, golden shares, or charter restrictions tying HPE’s governance to Israeli state policy. The documented linkages are contractual: per Who Profits and AFSC, HPE’s Israeli subsidiary supplies servers, software and services to Israeli government, police, prison-service and military customers.⁴⁵

UN and Inter-Governmental Records

The UN Special Rapporteur report A/HRC/59/23 (Francesca Albanese, “From economy of occupation to economy of genocide,” 2025) records that “Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) maintained the [Population and Immigration Authority] database and its Israeli subsidiary is still providing servers,” and that “Hewlett Packard (HP) has long enabled the apartheid systems of Israel, supplying technology to the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the prison service and police.”¹² No public evidence identified confirming HPE’s inclusion by name in the UN OHCHR database of business enterprises involved in settlement activities (HRC Res. 31/36) as of the audit date.¹³

Profit Repatriation & Economic Contribution

Revenue Attribution

HPE does not disclose Israel-specific revenue. Revenue is reported by reportable segment and by three broad geographic regions in aggregate, with no country-level breakdown.¹² No public evidence identified of an Israel-attributed revenue figure in any HPE investor communication or regulatory filing.

Profit Flows and Repatriation Structure

As a Delaware-incorporated, U.S.-headquartered publicly traded company, HPE’s consolidated profits accrue to its U.S. parent and are distributed to shareholders worldwide via dividends and repurchases.¹⁸ Locally generated profits of Hewlett-Packard (Israel) Ltd. (from Israeli sales, services and government contracts) are subject to Israeli corporate taxation and consolidated upward into HPE’s global accounts; no public disclosure of the quantum of Israeli-origin profit exists.⁴¹

Economic Ecosystem Contribution - Israel

Who Profits and AFSC characterise HP/HPE as a long-standing technology supplier to Israeli government, police, prison-service and military entities, with the contract values itemised in the Operational Presence section representing direct commercial revenue flowing to its Israeli subsidiary from Israeli state bodies.⁴⁵ The UN Special Rapporteur similarly identifies HPE’s subsidiary as an active server supplier to the Population and Immigration Authority database infrastructure.¹² No public evidence identified of an official Israeli government or industry-body designation of HPE as “critical national infrastructure” or a formal “sector anchor” in regulatory terms.

Tax and Transfer Pricing Disclosure

No public evidence identified of HPE publishing country-by-country tax reporting at the level of individual markets such as Israel, nor of any documented transfer-pricing structure specific to its Israeli operations.¹²
