Dell EMC updates commitment to environment after merger

Dell EMC is reaffirming its commitment to the planet and the people who live on it with an update to Dell’s longtime 2020 Legacy of Good report.

This is the first update since the report was originally launched during Dell’s fiscal year 2014 (Feb. 1, 2013 – Jan. 31, 2014). It primarily takes into account the EMC merger that was completed in the Fall of 2016, combining the Dell Legacy of Good 2020 goals with EMC’s 2020 Sustainability goals.

In a nutshell, the company’s goals for working towards sustainability in 2020 revolve around five themes:

“Bringing together Dell and EMC in September 2016 gave us an opportunity to reflect on our progress and establish a core set of commitments that represent the best of both companies,” said Trisa Thompson, Chief Responsibility Officer at Dell in a statement. “We have a newfound energy as we think about the opportunity we have to put our combined portfolio, expertise, and resources to good work.”

The updated goals include further investment into STEM education and extending its flexible work program for legacy EMC team members and providing more employee resource groups. The company has also completed part of its American Business Act on Climate Pledge by planting one million trees.

Below are further highlights from the updates report, which marks the halfway mark since its conception to 2020.
