GOALS METHODOLOGY: ADVANCING SUSTAINABILITY We will drive sustainability improvements in our global workplaces through 2030 Each year through 2030, we will deliver future-ready skills development for workers in Metric: We will reduce freshwater use in our Dell-owned facilities by 25% in locales with high water our supply chain stress Methodology: The scope is the total future-ready skills training data for two key suppliers in Methodology: Water is used at Dell facilities primarily for domestic purposes, such as drinking, cooking, our pilot program. cleaning and toilet flushing, for cooling and for landscape irrigation; water is not used in our assembly Each year through 2030, we will continue engagement with the people who make our products processes. Freshwater use at each facility includes high-quality municipal and private source water, as well as water withdrawn from surface, groundwater and rainwater sources. Each facility’s water stress Measurement: Feedback interviews conducted with supply chain workers level is identified using the Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas’ overall water risk score. This goal applies to buildings that are owned and operated by Dell and are located in communities with overall water risk Methodology: The scope is the total number of interviews conducted during Responsible Business scores of “high” or “very high.” Alliance (RBA) audits of factories. These interviews are conducted in confidence by independent, third-party auditors. In previous reports, results for this goal were calculated using calendar year data. Metric: We will reduce freshwater use in our Dell-owned facilities by 10% elsewhere Beginning with reporting for FY22, results will be calculated using fiscal year data. Methodology: See above. This goal applies to buildings that are owned and operated by Dell and are Measurement: Manufacturing facilities with feedback channels in place located in communities with overall water risk scores below “high.” Methodology: This metric represents the percentage of Dell Technologies and high-risk supplier factories Metric: We will reduce workplace plastic waste by 90% who underwent audits and complied with the RBA Code requirement to have feedback channels in place. Methodology: This goal references the annual weight of plastic and plastic foam waste generated in Dell’s Data reported to track progress toward this goal is expected to evolve as we further develop our work operational and office-based activities (including Dell-provided food service) that is disposed, composted in this area. In previous reports, results for this goal were calculated using calendar year data. Beginning or sent off-site to be recycled. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unable to conduct a planned with reporting for FY22, results will be calculated using fiscal year data. study of plastic waste generation in our office facilities, so this baseline may be adjusted in the future Measurement: Ideation sessions in-house once operations return to normal. Methodology: The scope includes data collected by the Culture of Innovation Program at all Dell factories. Each year through 2030, we will show continued commitments to provide healthy work Measurement: In-house innovation ideas implemented as projects environments where people can thrive Methodology: This reflects the number of in-house innovation ideas being implemented as projects. The Methodology: The scope is the total number of hours of both online and face-to-face training provided scope includes data collected by the Culture of Innovation Program at all Dell Technologies factories. to Dell factory employees and suppliers on topics such as health and safety, energy efficiency, water management, forced labor and more. In previous reports, results for this goal were calculated using Measurement: Level of participation in in-house ideation sessions calendar year data. Beginning with reporting for FY22, results will be calculated using fiscal year data. Methodology: The scope includes data collected by the Culture of Innovation Program at Dell factories. Measurement: Number of ideas submitted in the supply chain Methodology: This reflects the number of ideas submitted by workers at two supplier sites participating in a Dell pilot project. The scope includes data collected by the two participating suppliers.
