The EMC Sustainability Report explores the company’s strategy, achievements and overall progress with regard to its Sustainability Priorities, which include:

• Providing technologies and services to address some of the world’s challenges, such as energy, healthcare, and delivery of government services;
• Investing in furthering education, innovation and inclusion for its employees and in communities around the world; and,
• Supporting EMC’s continued financial success and increasing shareholder value through its approach to corporate sustainability, commitment to good corporate governance and by maintaining customer and community trust.

“EMC is committed to continually advancing our journey of sustainability in all facets of our business,” said Kathrin Winkler, EMC’s Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer.  “Our Sustainability Report provides our employees, shareholders, partners and all others that are interested with insight into our efforts and achievements throughout 2009 and provides the foundation for improving our environmental, operational and economic performance through the business decisions we make in 2010 and beyond.”

EMC and its employees are active in furthering sustainability through involvement in leading industry organizations.  EMC is represented on the Board of Directors of The Green Grid, recently completed its Carbon Disclosure Project report for 2009, and sponsored the World Resources Institute Greenhouse Gas Protocol Initiative.  EMC is also a World Economic Forum industry partner where it participates in the Task Force on Low-Carbon Economic Prosperity and the Global Education Initiative, and is a member of the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) which works to improve labor and environmental conditions in the electronics supply chain.  In 2009, EMC also joined the Ceres Corporate Network, a leading network of investors, environmental groups and other public interest organizations working with companies to address sustainability challenges.
