Dell Sustainability
Recent global conversation about climate change has driven Dell Technologies to go beyond simply reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) emissions. By 2050, Dell Technologies will reach net-zero GHG emissions. This carbon footprint represents where Dell are starting from.

Checkpoints to 2050
Dell's first step is to cut 2020’s emissions by 50% by 2030. This goal, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), is consistent with the reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C, the most ambitious goal of the Paris Agreement. Dell's next target, to work with their suppliers to reduce supply chain GHG emissions by 60% per unit of revenue, was deemed consistent with reductions required to stay well below the Agreement’s 2°C target.
