Dell Reinstates Commitment to CSR Through '2020 Legacy of Good Report'

Dell Inc. has against reinstated its commitment to communities, people and environment through its 2020 Legacy for Good Plan, which recognizes key CSR achievements for the combined company following Dell’s merger with EMC1.
 
The plan which outlines Dell’s long-term commitment to society, team members and the environments also shows that as a result of the merger, the company has a broader technology portfolio, more engaged team members and greater resources to address the world’s most pressing challenges.
 
Speaking on this, Travers Nicholas, the general manager, Dell EMC West Africa, said, “Bringing together Dell and EMC in September 2016 gave us an opportunity to reflect on our progress and establish a core set of commitments that represent the best of both companies.”

He noted that the organization has a newfound energy and as they think about the opportunity, there is a need to put their combined portfolio, expertise and resources to good work, which is already encouraging tremendous innovation that will benefit our customers and our world.”

The updated plan and goals reflect how Dell and EMC came together with a shared commitment to people and the planet.

For example, the combined company has increased its investment in STEM education for underserved youth.

To help cultivate an inclusive culture, Dell is extending its flexible work program to legacy EMC team members and offering more employee resource groups, connecting team members who share interests such as gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or background.

And as a combined company, Dell achieved part of its American Business Act on Climate Pledge to plant 1 million trees to offset carbon emissions and restore natural habitats around the globe and there are additional goals dedicated to driving transparency, accountability and continuous improvement throughout Dell’s global supply chain.
