GEC NEWS WIREDell has released its annual 2020 Legacy of Good update that recognizes key CSR achievements for the combined company following Dell’s merger with EMC. The plan outlines Dell’s long-term commitment to -society, team members and the environment. 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. The report summarizes the efforts of Fiscal Year 2017.
“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,” said Trisa Thompson, Chief Responsibility Officer at Dell Inc.
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. Lastly, this year’s report includes additional goals dedicated to driving transparency, accountability and continuous improvement throughout Dell’s global supply chain.
