Re-baselining scope 3 category 1 emissions

Dell is restating emissions for scope 3 cat 1 to make each year comparable to FY20 baseline due to refined calculation methodology and improved supplier-reported data.

▾ expand

Primary: Use-of-sold products: product energy efficiency

Scope 3 category 11 (use of sold products) accounted for 37.2% of Dell's GHG inventory and 11,473,600 MT CO2e in FY24. Dell targets 30% absolute reduction by 2030 vs FY20 baseline (achieved 22.2% reduction). Levers include product efficiency designs, EPEAT Climate+ servers with direct liquid cooling, ENERGY STAR-qualified products, OpenManage Enterprise Power Manager, right-sized PSUs, and intelligent platform management.

▾ expand

Net zero via carbon mitigation hierarchy: avoid, reduce, replace, offset

Dell's GHG strategy resembles the carbon mitigation hierarchy: avoid emissions from the start; reduce energy intensity; replace high-carbon energy sources with renewable/low-carbon alternatives; and offset only where mitigating actions are not feasible by investing in projects that remove or reduce emissions elsewhere. Net zero goal aligned with SBTi definition (90% reduction + 10% abatement).

▾ expand

Primary: Scope 1&2 operational decarbonisation

Targets 50% reduction in scopes 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030 vs FY20 baseline (achieved 40.6% reduction in FY24, with absolute emissions of 172,400 MT CO2e). Focus areas include eliminating GHG-emitting fuels in buildings and vehicles, transitioning to low/no-emissions cooling systems, and sourcing renewable electricity.

▾ expand

Primary: Circular materials and end-of-life recovery

Dell targets >50% recycled, renewable or reduced carbon emissions material in products by 2030 (14.1% in FY24, using 43M kg sustainable materials). First in industry to ship certified 50% recycled content steel in displays. Uses hydropower-produced aluminum (up to 90% lower emissions vs coal-powered), recycled copper, bio-based plastics, ocean-bound plastics. Takeback target: 1 ton reused/recycled per ton sold (30.1% in FY24).

Dependent: Purchased goods & services supplier engagement (ESEP)

Scope 3 cat 1 represents 59% of Dell's GHG footprint (18.2 MT CO2e in FY23). Dell targets 45% absolute reduction by 2030. Via the Emissions Supplier Engagement Program (ESEP), Dell partners with highest-emitting suppliers to drive emissions reductions, encourages suppliers to report to CDP, submit SBTi commitment letters, declare RE100 target years, and reduce scope 1/2/3 emissions from CY2020.

▾ expand

RE100 member targeting 75% renewable electricity by 2030, 100% by 2040

Dell sources renewable electricity through on-site solar generation, green power sources, and unbundled and bundled renewable energy certificates (RECs) for U.S. locations. As members of the RE100 initiative, Dell adheres to RE100's technical guidance on renewable energy procurement. In FY24, Dell sourced 61.5% of electricity from renewable sources across all Dell facilities, up from 59% in FY23. Goal: 75% by 2030 and 100% by 2040.
