Materiality To ensure our focus for our social impact work is clear, we conducted a thorough analysis in 2018–2019 of our material issues in conjunction with consulting firm SustainAbility, beginning with a review of external corporate sustainability and philanthropy frameworks and trends, benchmarking our peers and analyzing customers’ Requests for Proposal (RFPs) to identify trends in topics they care about. We also gathered insight from a diverse set of internal and external stakeholders including senior executives across Dell Technologies, suppliers, customers representing different sectors, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and thought leaders. Additionally, we surveyed Dell Technologies employees. This helped us generate a list of key issues, which we prioritized based on three criteria: Material issues • Societal and environmental impact: Our potential for making a significant impact on the issue • Business impact: An issue’s potential for significant impact on Dell Technologies Human Rights Access to Technology • Degree of influence: The scale of our potential impact on the issue Business Ethics IT for Good Through this process, we identified the material issues that not only have short-term implications on society and our business , but also affect the global outcomes we are striving to attain by 2030.
