How We Measure our ESG Goals

HOW WE MEASURE Progress starts with strong measurement

To meet our ambitious goals for the upcoming decade, we must chart a bold path and report our progress with clearly defined metrics. We’ve worked closely with stakeholders to strengthen our capabilities to measure our progress, ensure accountability, and understand where new ways of measuring are needed.

The information you need

Whether you're an employee, a customer, a partner or a shareholder, our goal is to deliver the information you need - measurements that are relevant, current and easy to interpret.

Informed by experts

Our reporting integrates feedback from third-party experts who have commended Dell's strength in measurement and helped shape our approach.

Committed to transparency

We know trust is everything. Our promise is to not only share our methodology and progress with you, but to keep you informed throughout the process.

“Dell Technologies' bold new goal to reach net zero emissions by 2050 across its entire value chain positions the company to make meaningful progress on this decade’s most essential work of mitigating the climate crisis. We applaud Dell for recognizing the need to set science-based targets with interim goals that create a roadmap to success in achieving net zero emissions.”

STRENGTH IN GOALS & MEASUREMENT Achieving real progress requires thoughtful goal-setting and rigorous measurement

In FY23, we launched our net zero goal as an extension of our existing climate- related goals. This reflects our strong commitment to being responsible corporate citizens, and to evolving our plan for how we will create a positive and lasting social impact on people and the planet. Strong reporting is key to ensuring we remain on the right path to reach our goals, and that’s why our strategy is informed by executives, stakeholders, audit teams and third-party partners. We’re continuing to strengthen our approach by re-examining methodologies and restructuring our data collection and management. In our FY24 ESG Report, we focus on sharing year-over-year goal progress as compared to our baseline data for our ESG goals.
