Dell Reports 18% Decrease on Carbon Emissions
With most companies doing their share of employing an eco-friendly responsibility for operation, the latest company to report such an accomplishment is Dell Computers. According to Dell, they have cut their carbon emissions by 18% in its fiscal year. This includes a 12.4% drop in scope 1 emissions such as heating and the use of company vehicles and an 18.8% reduction in scope 2 emissions that covers mostly the on-site activities. The company also reduced scope 3 emissions, associated with employee air travel, by about 30.3 percent.
The company offsets its remaining carbon impact by purchasing credible, third-party-verified renewable energy credits. This investment helped the company become the only company in the computer industry to achieve operational carbon neutrality in August 2008, five months ahead of schedule.
