About DELL
Dell Inc. is an American privately owned multinational computer technology company based in Round Rock, Texas, United States, that develops, sells, repairs and supports computers and related products and services. Founded by Michael Dell
Introduction
The company aims to: Energy efficiency
Carbon neutrality
Recycling Direct engagement with customers and suppliers
Better quality products which consume less energy an helps consumers & mother earth as well. Its laptops and desktops are designed to consume up to 25 percent less energy by the end of 2015.
Emission
From suppliers, Dell expects its Tier 1 suppliers to improve and report their greenhouse gas emissions as a consideration for awarding business. As a company, Dell reduces their GHG emissions by maximizing its operations and energy. Its headquarters in Round Rock, Texas, along with seven other facilities in the U.S. and Europe are 100-percent powered with purchased renewable electricity.
As a whole, Dell aims to reduce its operational GHG emissions by 40 percent before 2015 by reducing dieselpowered back-up generators and on-site fuel consumption among other activities.
Packaging Material
To help ease the impact of its packaging practices, Dell follows what it calls the "3 Cs": Cube (smaller boxes); Content (use recycled or sustainable materials); and Curb (ensure that packaging is easily recyclable). Bamboo helped them achieve the 3 Cs. In November 2009, Dell became the first technology company to offer bamboo packaging. Bamboo is fast-growing, replenishes the soil and makes for sturdy lightweight packaging. More than 50 percent of the companys Inspirion products are packaged in bamboo, and the company seeks to expand the practice in 2011.
Waste Management
E-waste is a major threat to the environment and Dell is making strides to eliminate it in two ways. The first is by banning the export of e-waste. Often categorized as nonworking, e-waste is shipped to developing countries, supposedly for repairs. To further reduce e-waste, Dell has set up recycling centers for its products that consumers may visit. Located in 70 countries around the world, with aims to expand to 11 more, Dell has recycled 484 million pounds of equipment since 2006.
Meet the commitments of the voluntary environmental programs in which Dell participates.
