Sustainable Business Responsibility

Strategic Council on Sustainable Opportunities

Dell has implemented a strategic governance model to monitor, measure and promote sustainable business practices. The process leverages shareholder insight and support, customer feedback, and internal policies and procedures to ensure that the Dell Leadership Team and Board of Directors are apprised of key risk areas and opportunities. This awareness, in turn, allows the Executive Leadership Team to align around solutions that address material issues across the business.


Sustainable Business Responsibility

Senior executive support for our sustainability efforts is critical. The director of Sustainable Business reports progress and results to the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, which adjusts and confirms the company’s sustainability strategy. The full Board of Directors is briefed at least annually and more often when required.

This direct engagement of the Dell Executive Leadership Team has been a key factor in aggregating and disseminating information about sustainable business practices to the company management structure worldwide. Our Sustainability Council, which consists of leaders from key business functions, meets quarterly to review sustainability-related risks, opportunities and associated actions. Dell business owners, who are working to address risks and opportunities, are invited to provide updates and to seek approval for resources and strategies.
