Dell's 2020 Legacy of Good Plan

FY19 Annual Update on our 2020 Legacy of Good Plan | FY19 CSR Report

In 2013, we introduced our 2020 Legacy of Good Plan with ambitious sustainability and social goals to put our technology and expertise to work to do the most good for people and the planet. In June 2019 we delivered our final report on these goals, and are proud to announce that we have completed, or exceeded, over 75% of the goals ahead of schedule. These achievements demonstrate how we have scaled sustainability, empowered people and established technology as an accelerator for positive customer and societal outcomes for years to come.

That final report on our 2020 Plan is at DellTechnologies.com/FY19CSRReport

Our 2020 Legacy of Good Plan has been a fantastic foundation, but we recognize there is more to do. As we look to 2030, we remain focused on understanding emerging societal challenges and how to innovate for impact — so today’s challenges don’t define the next generation. We are committed to using our reach, technology and people to create a positive, lasting impact on humankind and the planet.

On June 9, 2019, we published Progress Made Real – Our Vision for 2030, focused on three key areas: advancing sustainability, cultivating inclusion, and transforming lives with technology. Foundational to the vision is a commitment to upholding strong ethics and privacy. Over the coming year, we plan to release specific goals and will continue to demonstrate transparent reporting practices on key advancements related to this vision.

We invite you to read through our 2020 Legacy of Good achievements and Our Vision for 2030 as you think about your own commitments and consider joining us in making progress real. To learn more, please visit DellTechnologies.com/SocialImpact. 

 

OUR 2020 LEGACY OF GOOD ACTION AREAS:

Supply Chain
We hold our suppliers to the same high social and environmental standards we set for ourselves. We are committed to driving transparency, accountability and continuous improvement throughout our global supply chain.

Net Positive
Our company believes in the power of technology to advance human progress. It’s simply not enough to do “less bad.” We see technology as the key to unlocking regenerative solutions — ones that put more back into society, the environment and the global economy than they take out.

Environment
Environmental responsibility is about more than creating an eco-friendly product or initiative. It’s about incorporating sustainability into everything we do, while using our technology and expertise to innovate on behalf of our customers, our communities and the planet.

Communities
As a global technology provider and corporate citizen, we see firsthand how a lack of access to quality education and technology can prevent people from reaching their full potential. We apply our technology, expertise, funding and volunteerism toward helping communities overcome challenges and thrive.

People
We are committed to attracting the world’s greatest talent; building diverse, inclusive teams; and delivering breakthrough performance for our team members, businesses and customers. We do this by embodying the shared values outlined in our Culture Code: customers, winning together, innovation, results and integrity

Education

Unlocking the Passion and Potential of the World’s Youth
Through our Youth Learning program, Dell is working with nonprofit partners worldwide to give underserved youth better access to technology and education. Going beyond access, we’re also creating a culture of inclusion, wherein science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) learning is seen as being for everyone — boys and girls, rich and poor. And we’re teaching youth of all backgrounds how to be persistent and work though challenging problems.

Check Out How Dell Is Transforming Their Electronic Waste Into Something Sustainable This 2020
Starting their Global TakeBack program in 2016, they have recycled over 21.5 million pounds of plastic as well as achieved 15% customer participation rate. This may seem particularly small as compared to the rate of 80% for recycling done by the automotive industry, but it is actually rather large in the technology industry.
