Our 2020 Legacy of Good Plan has established sustainability, diversity and technology as accelerators for successful customer and societal outcomes for years to come.
In 2013, we set our ambitious social and sustainability goals to reach by 2020 and launched our 2020 Legacy of Good Plan. This plan embedded our commitment to corporate social responsibility more deeply into Dell Technologies’ DNA. Its goals outlined exactly how we would put technology and our expertise to work where they can do the most good for people and our planet. We rallied our global team around these targets and engaged our customers, communities, industry peers and stakeholders. As a result, we pushed the boundaries of our innovation and achieved more impact than we ever imagined.
