TRANSFORMING LIVES We bring more people into the digital economy The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) represent the most ambitious global agenda ever formalized for the social, economic and environmental improvement of the world. Realizing the SDGs by 2030 would have a profoundly positive impact: no poverty, no hunger, gender equality, economic growth decoupled from environmental resource degradation and more — while ensuring no one is left behind. There is strong evidence a positive relationship exists between access to technology and achievement of the SDGs. The future belongs to those who can leverage technology to solve problems and drive human progress. That’s why we view access to technology not as a luxury, but as a necessity. Facilitating growth through digital access As a global technology provider and corporate citizen, we see firsthand how access and inclusion allow people everywhere to become part of the digital era. Through technical literacy, people can benefit from remarkable resources for health care, education and economic growth. According to research conducted by Dell Technologies and Vanson Bourne of 3,800 business leaders worldwide, 85% of respondents believe the jobs of 2030 don’t yet exist. Further, 56% of leaders feel students must be taught how to learn, rather than what to learn, to succeed in the workforce of the future. Digital access will help power these shifts and support a better future for us all. Opening up education for all STEM skills are unquestionably crucial for future generations of workers. We have a longstanding, multimillion- dollar global commitment to providing underserved youth with high-quality STEM education and better access to technology. Dell Accessible Learning (DAL) is a platform that enables students — including those with disabilities — to learn in-demand skills such as computer programming, app development, customer service and entrepreneurship. Dell Technologies’ Distance Education Laboratory for People with Disabilities in Fortaleza, Brazil, created DAL in partnership with the State University of Ceará. Empowering future generations The economy of 2030 will be built on the technical innovation of today — and technical advances can digitally infuse equality in hiring. CEO Michael Dell was a driving force in advocating the U.N.’s #8 Sustainable Development Goal, which calls for sustainable economic growth and decent work for all. We believe entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of the global economy — creating jobs, spurring innovation and growing the economy. Our programs provide access to technology, promote skill development for employment, and entrepreneurship-based projects for innovation. OUR SOCIAL IMPACT PLAN FOR 2030 / 30
