Full story: Dell's Green Goal for 2008 (27-Sep-07)
Dell has recently announced its plans to go carbon-neutral by 2008. The company is looking to zero out its carbon emissions through a number of initiatives, such as offering businesses recycling of their old computers, operating the Plant a Tree for Me program, using bio-diesel fuels in the vehicles of logistics suppliers and offsetting through renewable energy sources.
Like most companies in the computer business, Dell outsources a lot of production to foreign manufacturers. All that outsourcing makes for a vastly more complex picture of Dell's carbon impact, and all the more difficult to assess.
Dell executives say the effort will focus mainly on power consumption at Dell-owned and leased buildings around the world. The corporation has said its priority is to minimise total energy consumption. Offsets will be used as a last resort.
