We’re working with you, our customers, to help create a more sustainable world: setting out a strategy, establishing goals for reducing impact and tracking progress along the way. When it comes to asset disposition, Dell’s Asset Recovery Services is right there to serve and support you at every step—and now, that strong backing includes providing insight into the positive impact you’re making when you choose to responsibly retire your assets with us.
Personalized, Real-Time Data About Your Organization’s Environmental Impact
The Environmental Impact Report feature from Dell Asset Recovery Services gives you the ability to gauge the impact of your asset disposition activity against your sustainability strategy goals. It provides relevant, dynamically generated measures of environmental impacts, in real time.
Let’s say your organization retires assets that reflect a combination of desktops, laptops, monitors and servers. You’ll keep receiving the data you’re already accustomed to seeing in your reports from Dell Asset Recovery Services, including the final disposition status of assets retired—whether they were resold, recycled or harvested for parts. But now there’s much more.
The Environmental Impact Report delivers on-demand data to quantify the specific environmental impacts. For a customer who retires a mix of 27,000 devices, your participation in Asset Recovery Services would result in:
What does that amount to in terms we can all relate to? Consider this:
- The reduction in CO2 emissions represents the equivalent of the average annual emissions of 156 gas-powered motor vehicles.
- The savings in megawatt hours, based on energy consumption avoided, equals the average annual energy consumption of 250 households.
- And the waste diverted from the landfill? It’s about as much as the weight of a fully loaded garbage truck—or, to measure it another way, it’s as much as the total weight of six adult elephants.
And that’s just one example. Think of the exponentially higher impact achieved when these savings scale across multiple customers.
Relevant Information for Assessing Progress Toward Net Zero Goals
Whatever your organization’s specific targets for avoiding emissions, limiting energy use and diverting waste, you’ll find the information in the Environmental Impact Report invaluable for assessing your progress. The report provides data that shows where you are in that journey at any given time. It’s available at no additional cost to Dell Asset Recovery Services customers, and it’s easily accessible through the same TechDirect interface customers already love and use to manage their Dell services.
We’re the first OEM in the industry to provide personalized, dynamic, real-time reporting, based on ISO 14000 standards.* We’re happy to enable customers to see the specific positive environmental impacts that result from their responsible disposition of technology assets—and we’re proud to be able offer such a valuable resource to our customers.
