UPHOLDING ETHICS & PRIVACY We ignite and inspire passion for integrity in all our employees We believe in fostering a culture of integrity at all levels of the organization. The key to our success is that our value of integrity lives in the hearts and minds of our team members. Our employees represent Dell Technologies’ integrity in action. We cultivate our employees’ desire to do the right thing and our business leaders’ dedication to a culture of integrity by providing the support, tools and training that transform values into everyday actions. Leveraging innovation to succeed with distinction We leverage technology and deploy state-of-the-art tools to assist our employees in applying the principles of integrity and compliance as part of everyday business transactions, activities and decisions. For example, our newly released, HTML-based and interactive Dell Technologies Code of Conduct, allows employees to seamlessly navigate and digest management expectations in real time. We also developed The Courage Project, one of several game-based modules where employees apply newly learned concepts in an interactive online environment. Trailblazing the information technology industry Externally, we strive to be a leader in this space. We are active, and often, founding members of nonprofits and advisory organizations aimed at influencing corporate transparency and integrity. Our subject matter experts are frequent speakers at industry events, and we work within these organizations to collaborate with other like-minded companies and advance ethical practices around the world. Supporting our business leaders as leaders in integrity Our team members look to their leaders in the areas of sales, marketing, engineering, finance and other functions to model ethical behavior. Leaders must both uphold our high ethical standards themselves and ensure that their team members do as well. Behavior that falls short of the law or our high ethical standards will never be tolerated, and our leaders will take swift action to ensure compliance. Our leaders walk the walk when it comes to ethics and integrity. They run business-led ethics committees and controls councils, regularly engage their teams in ethics discussions in team meetings and at high-profile business events and patriciate in external groups designed to spread ethical business practices. Employees’ perception of leader commitment to a culture of integrity is measured by our annual employee opinion survey and our biannual ethics and compliance survey.
