·         First combined 2020 Legacy of Good report
brings together Dell and EMC corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives
toward advancing human progress

opportunities to innovate on behalf of people and the planet

·         Report underscores Dell’s commitment to its
supply chain

Singapore – June 21, 2017 – Dell Inc. reports the first 2020 Legacy of Good update that recognizes key CSR achievements for the combined
company following Dell’s merger with
EMC1. The plan outlines Dell’s long-term commitment to
society, team members and the environment. As a result of the merger, the
company has a broader technology portfolio, more engaged team members and
greater resources to address the world’s most pressing challenges. The report summarizes the efforts of Fiscal Year
2017 (Feb. 1, 2016 – Jan. 31, 2017).

“Bringing together Dell and EMC in September 2016 gave us an
opportunity to reflect on our progress and establish a core set of commitments
that represent the best of both companies,” said Trisa Thompson, Chief
Responsibility Officer at Dell. “We have a newfound energy as we think
about the opportunity we have to put our combined portfolio, expertise and
resources to good work. It’s already encouraging tremendous innovation that
will benefit our customers and our world.”

David Webster,
President, APJ Enterprise, Dell EMC, added: “In the context of the fast pace of
change in the world, organizations are looking to work with companies that have
a strong culture and strive to do good, because it ultimately enables
businesses to be more resilient. Our customers and team in APJ see great value
in the Legacy of Good Report, which demonstrates how they can deliver on a
common vision to drive business success.”

Amit Midha, President, APJ Commercial, Dell EMC, also commented:
“The APJ region plays a key role in creating the energy and innovation that
contributes to the progress towards a Legacy of Good, effectively using our
capabilities to find opportunities to do good for society, community and our
planet. We see some great examples that demonstrate how we can build on our
strengths and use these to make a positive impact.”

The updated plan and
goals reflect how Dell and EMC came together with a shared commitment
to people and the planet.
For example, the combined company has increased its investment in Science, Technology,
Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) education for underserved youth. The
company has also extended its partnership with the University of Technology
Sydney (UTS) for the third year running to promote the importance of STEM
through mentoring program and scholarships.[1]

To help cultivate an
inclusive culture, Dell is extending its flexible work program to legacy EMC
team members and offering more employee resource
groups, connecting team
members who share interests, lifestyles, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity
or background. And as a combined company, Dell achieved part of its American
Business Act on Climate Pledge to plant 1 million trees to offset carbon
emissions and restore natural habitats around the globe. Lastly, this year’s
report includes additional goals dedicated to driving transparency,
accountability and continuous improvement throughout Dell’s global supply
chain.

The initial plan was developed during Dell’s Fiscal Year 2014
(Feb. 1, 2013 – Jan. 31, 2014). Today’s 2020 Legacy of Good update includes
original goals, adjusted goals as well as new goals to reflect the
opportunities, scale and expertise of our combined organization. Report
highlights include:

·         Dell has offered expertise and technology for
2.3 million underserved children directly and over 10 million people indirectly
through strategic giving programs, reaching 59 percent of Dell’s direct impact goal and 84 percent of the indirect
goal.

·         Since FY14, Dell employees provided over 3.3
million hours of community service in the areas in which they live and work.
Dell’s goal is to provide 5 million cumulative hours of service by 2020.

·         Dell’s partnership, funding and technology
enables TGen to accelerate and improve treatment plans
for cancer patients. By working with Dell, the increased computational and
storage capacity has reduced the time it takes to sequence a genome from
multiple weeks to just six hours, logging over 1 million computational hours
per month.

·         The first activity for the integrated Dell EMC
Japan targeted the one-in-six children living in poverty in the country. Team
members donated their books in support of the Teach for Japan non-profit
organization.

·         Dell offers 14 different employee resource
groups (ERGs) to help instill an inclusive culture. As of December 2016, 23 percent of team members
are engaged in employee resource groups. Pride, Dell’s ERG for lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender team members and allies, is one of the fastest-growing
ERGs. Much of that growth came through new chapters in Asia and Latin America,
locations where identifying as LGBT is not always widely accepted. In APJ, Dell
launched the Sydney chapter of Pride employee resource group – the first
chapter in the region. Its success led to the launch of a remote chapter to
meet immediate demand from others in the region outside of Australia.

·         Dell further expanded its flexible work programs
to Dell EMC team members, encouraging eligible employees to work where, how and when it is most
productive for them. Dell’s goal is to increase global participation to 50
percent by 2020.

·         Dell continued to be recognized as an Employer
of Choice, garnering awards in over 20 countries. In November 2016, Dell
launched its first employee survey as a combined company, with positive
results: 82 percent of team
members said they felt inspired, exceeding the goal of 75 percent.

·         More than 40 volunteers from Dell EMC in India
mentored teams at the world’s biggest hackathon, Smart India Hackathon 2017, organized by India’s Ministry of Human
Resources and Development. The event saw 32,000 students work on more than 600 problems provided by India’s government,
with first and second place going to teams mentored by Dell engineers.

·         Dell exceeded the initial 2020 goal of using
50 million pounds of sustainable materials in its products and adjusted the
goal to use 100 million pounds of recycled-content plastic and other
sustainable materials.

·         Dell began shipping the XPS 13 2-in-1 in
packaging made from ocean-bound plastics and made a public commitment to increase annual usage 10x by 2025 as
well as open source Dell’s supply chain to encourage broad use of ocean
plastics by other companies.

·         Dell has recovered 1.8 billion pounds of
electronics, 88 percent of the way toward its 2020 goal to recycle 2 billion
pounds of used electronics by 2020.

·         Dell gave team members the opportunity to
select where they wanted a tree planted to commemorate the first day as an
integrated company. More than 41,000 employees participated and Dell added
additional trees to bring the total number planted up above 140,000. Many team
members chose to have theirs planted in Indonesia (in areas to support the Malaysian
Tiger’s habitat) via WWF.

·         Dell expanded transparency into supply chain
operations through the release of the semiannual Social and
Environmental Responsibility (SER) Progress Report, which describes supply chain performance on
Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) audits and other initiatives.

·         Dell also introduced new supply chain sub-goals focused on EICC audits, emissions
reporting and water risk mitigation plans to help drive responsible actions
amongst suppliers.

·         In APJ, Dell is also providing joint
management trainings to suppliers in partnership with other leading IT
companies, for example in Malaysia and Singapore, to build awareness and help
identify strategies related to forced labor and human trafficking.
