Dell taking concrete steps towards sustainability, inclusivity

With the help of digital data

Once in a while, tech companies unveil their roadmaps to orient their mission, vision, and goals into the future. Peering into roadmaps, however, is not enough. Tech companies also need to fulfill their objectives and ensure progress at every step of the way.

Only then will they make progress a reality by ensuring concrete steps to the future.

For Dell, making progress a reality is a matter of listing down bold agenda. As part of its “Progress Made Real” campaign, the company has unveiled three innovative goals it will accomplish by 2030. The company hopes its moonshot goals will drive responsibility and innovation while making societal impact.

Here are Dell’s goals as part of its campaign.

Advancing sustainability

Dell is following the general trend of most companies in reducing carbon footprint and using recyclables with its products. Unlike most companies, however, the company stated concrete goals by 2030 that will make it accountable to the planet.

One of those is recycling an equivalent product for every Dell product a customer buys. Now that’s a bold goal — but necessary if the world will eliminate e-waste. Elsewhere, Dell is also announcing the start of a circular economy by making products from recycled or renewable materials.

That goal is not just an empty promise — after all, Dell already started using bamboo packaging on its XPS 13 laptops.

What remains to be seen, however, is the company’s commitment to 100 percent recycled or renewable materials in all its packaging.

Cultivating inclusion

Part of Dell’s goals for 2030 is ensuring gender inclusivity in its workplace. As such, the company wants 50 percent of its global workforce and 40 percent of global managers to be women.

According to Ronnie Latinazo — Dell’s country manager for the Philippines — the country comes ahead of this goal with 45 percent of the workplace comprised of women.

By 2030, Dell wants 95 percent of its workers educated yearly on issues regarding unconscious bias, harassment, micro-aggression, and privilege. Such a bold goal is sorely needed at a time when more cases of sexual abuse are being uncovered every year.

The company is not lagging on these goals as it already took the first steps with its annual women empowerment summit, which inspires women in the workplace to do more and go the extra mile.

Shaping an ethical company

Establishing a company with ethics at its core means transforming the lives of many people and respecting fundamental human rights. Dell hopes to achieve 75 percent worker participation in charitable giving and community volunteerism. With the help of digital data, the company will make it easier to measure and monitor sustainable living goals for more than a billion people on the planet.

Privacy, as one of the fundamental human rights, remains a top priority for the company’s 2030 goals. By fully automating data control processes and making it easier to access customer’s data, Dell hopes to lead the way when it comes to digital privacy in the 21st century and beyond.

To ensure fulfillment of these goals, the company partnered with its workers, customers, and third-parties in fine-tuning and making progress towards these a reality.

Unveiling a streamlined PowerOne system

Along with making progress in sustainability and inclusivity, Dell is pushing ahead with the expansion of its cloud products designed for business managing dedicated data centers.

Dell recently launched its PowerOne infrastructure, which automates every step in creating and managing a data server for cloud deployment. As such, IT professionals will spend lesser time figuring out how to make software work to ensure smooth operations.

PowerOne is fully automated and uses Kubernetes and Ansible as its back-end technology. It is made up of other singular components such as PowerEdge, PowerMax, PowerSwitch, and PowerProtect. Gone are the days when businesses need to purchase these components individually since they can buy PowerOne to take care of everything.

“We believe that PowerOne would be a game-changer in the industry because it is the first autonomous infrastructure in the market,” said Ronnie Latinazo.

Making progress a reality

Dell is facing a challenging decade ahead as it unveils its goals towards a sustainable and inclusive future. With a plethora of options to choose from, the company is ensuring it will be the customers’ go-to brand for everyday computing and professional needs.

Tim Cook might soon step down as Apple’s CEO

He’s turning 65 next month.

Did you know that it’s been almost 15 years since Tim Cook took the reins of Apple? The brand’s stalwart fans can definitely thank Cook for Apple’s impressive success today. That said, nothing lasts forever, especially as one reaches the age of 65. Tim Cook, after bringing Apple to almost US$ 4 trillion in valuation, might soon step down as the company’s CEO.

When he took over as CEO, Cook had the unfortunate challenge of following Steve Jobs. But, as we can see now, the CEO was more than up for the task, leading the company to new heights. Cook, however, will soon enter his twilight years. This November, the CEO turns 65. Cook’s retirement now becomes a question of “when” and “who’s next.”

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the transition might come soon. A few of the company’s executives have started to leave the company. This year, COO Jeff Williams stepped down and will soon leave the company. Importantly, Williams was once seen as next in line for the throne.

Others are expected to follow Williams, eventually leading to Cook’s own retirement. Cook’s 65^th birthday isn’t a sure deadline, but the talks should start. When Cook does retire from his CEO duties, it’s expected that he’ll transition instead into a new role as chairman, similar to Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.

Gurman also notes that the current heir, after Williams’s departure, is now the company’s hardware engineering boss, John Ternus. Importantly, this means that Apple might finally enter a new era outside of smartphones. As popular as the iPhone is, the company has struggled entering new facets of technology, including the middling Vision Pro. Ternus, as opposed to a more business-oriented leader, might steer Apple into those new frontiers.

CMF will separate from Nothing soon

Its headquarters will be in India.

Published

It didn’t take long for Nothing to establish itself in the smartphone industry. The brand even felt confident to launch a more affordable sub-brand called CMF by Nothing. Now, Nothing is ready to let its baby boy grow up. CMF by Nothing is branching off into its own independent brand soon.

As reported by TechCrunch, Nothing has confirmed that CMF will become an independent subsidiary soon. The brand is partnering with an Indian company called Optiemus to establish a headquarters for manufacturing and research in India.

The choice of market isn’t surprising. Compared to the original brand, CMF by Nothing caters more to the budget-conscious crowd while upholding Nothing’s penchant for quirky designs. The affordable segment continues to be a big hit in India. Nothing, as a brand, is also popular in the country.

It’s an impressive story for CMF. The small brand started only around two years ago in 2023. Since then, it launched earbuds, smartwatches, and smartphones — all of which appeal to the budget-conscious. By branching off on its own, the brand has a chance to establish its own identity apart from its parent company.

Though CMF’s independence is certainly a quick one, the phenomenon isn’t uncommon. Various companies have also done the same with their own sub-brands. For example, HONOR, POCO, and realme have spun off from Huawei, Xiaomi, and OPPO, respectively.
