Greener Technology: Practical Solutions for Environmental Issues

Every day, you have the opportunity to make greener choices, but when choosing technology, you don't want to compromise on cost, performance or reliability. At Dell, we believe you shouldn't have to, which is why we strive to ensure that people and companies don't have to make trade-offs to be green.

We make this a reality by delivering practical products and services that make an impact on real environmental issues, because at the heart of green is the powerful idea that better ways are possible. Better ways to use time, money and resources. Better ways to live, work and succeed in our world. Working with customers and suppliers, we've achieved significant milestones in recycling and packaging greener products and solutions within our own operations and supply chain, including those listed below.

• Industry's first worldwide free consumer recycling program.
• First industry to introduce packaging made from renewable bamboo.
• Ranked No. 1 in Newsweek's 2010 U.S. 500 Green Rankings.
• First to achieve 80 PLUS Gold energy efficiency.
• Eight campuses in the U.S. and Europe powered by 100 percent renewable energy.
• 2010 recipient of InfoWorld Green 15 Award.
• First tech company to offer carbon offsets to customers.
• Ranked No. 1 in the Corporate Sustainability Index benchmark report released by TBR in 2009.
• Rated the leading green brand among IT buyers in Green Factors study.

Looking ahead, Dell remains focused on helping customers achieve their environmental goals, including lowering CO2 emissions, driving new efficiencies and reducing operating costs. This extends to our long-term efforts to architect and drive energy efficiency in our products, solutions and the data center through The Green Grid, ecolabels such as ENERGY STAR and EPEAT, our internal Design for Environment specifications, and other initiatives.
