Environmental Leader

Dell has joined the Carbon Disclosure Project’s Supply Chain Leadership Collaboration, which gives Dell suppliers a standard on reporting emissions. Dell will work with its suppliers on reporting data relevant to Dell’s business and CDP will provide guidance on reporting requirements.The company’s corporate climate strategy accounts for the emissions impact of supplier operations and customer product use. This move should make that easier. Dell began requiring suppliers to report emissions earlier this year.

The SCLC was created to engage member companies’ supply chains to report carbon footprints and climate change-relevant information, such as greenhouse gas emissions data, emissions reduction targets and climate-change strategy.

Dell recently announced it would go carbon neutral by 2008.
