Becoming the ‘Greenest’ Technology Company on the Planet
Dell is fulfilling its commitment to become the ‘greenest' technology company on the planet. In August, the company announced that it had met its carbon-neutral goal five months ahead of schedule through a combination of operational efficiencies, greater investment in green power and responsible offsets to cover remaining impacts.
In June, Dell achieved an energy efficiency milestone by becoming the first company to introduce an "80 PLUS Gold-certified" power supply for servers, exceeding 2009 targets outlined by the Climate Savers Computing Initiative.
Dell also introduced its first "hybrid" PC that is about 80 percent smaller than a standard Dell desktop and consumes up to 70 percent less energy.
Based on worldwide unit sales beginning in 2005 with power-management features enabled, Dell estimates that OptiPlex desktop systems alone have helped customers save more than $2.8 billion and avoid approximately 27 million tons of CO2.
