Materiality | Dell Ireland

MATERIALITY Stakeholder engagement and ESG materiality

Stakeholder engagement and a global understanding of the ESG topics that are most important to our stakeholders are critical inputs that inform our broader ESG strategy.

We have conducted an ESG materiality assessment to identify the ESG topics that are most important to our stakeholders, as well as those where Dell Technologies can play the most meaningful role. For this assessment, we consulted with a broad range of stakeholders, including Dell employees, investors, suppliers and customers. We've used this analysis to guide our approach to ESG and to focus resources on areas where we have the greatest opportunities for growth and leadership or the most significant ESG risks to mitigate.

ESG materiality assessment

We regularly refresh this analysis to capture changing circumstances and to adopt a more dynamic approach to identifying key ESG topics. Experts across the business and within our ESG governing bodies determined the opportunities and risks associated with each of these topics.

Our Support for the U.N. SDGs

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations Member States in 2015 set forth a global vision for peace and prosperity for people and the planet. We believe technology will play a key role in many of these 17 ambitious, interrelated goals, and we see opportunities aligned with our own commitments to create a positive corporate impact.

All of our goals are mapped to the specific SDGs that we believe they support. We see the potential to contribute to the SDGs in the following areas:
