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.

Ayala Group’s ACMobility has launched ChargeFleet, a new B2B digital solution for corporate fleets and transport groups.

The new service introduces a shareable digital wallet that streamlines charging expenses, reduces manual tracking, and improves cost control.

As more organizations explore electrifying their mobility operations, many continue to face operational challenges — including fragmented payment systems, reimbursement delays, and limited visibility over charging usage.

ChargeFleet addresses these gaps by introducing a centralized, shareable digital wallet. Here, fleet managers can allocate and monitor charging credits across multiple drivers across a single platform.

The system is a seamless process designed for long-term usage and easy deployment across any organization.

Once integrated, ACMobility assigns charging credits to the client’s fleet manager. The manager then can distribute these to multiple drivers. Meanwhile, the latter will be able to see and use their assigned credits via the Evro app.

ChargeFleet is available as a prepaid product through the ChargeFleet Store. Users can buy offers via GCash or credit card. No application process is required.

Looking ahead, ACMobility will continue to enhance the ChargeFleet experience with exclusive value-added perks integrated through Evro and Power on Wheels.

The upcoming features highlight ACMobility’s ongoing push to provide a future-proof support system for the evolving needs of their customers’ businesses.

Sony teams up with 13 companies for sustainable global supply chain

Sustainability through introduction of renewable plastics

Published

Sony, along with several companies, have established the world’s first global supply chain for the production of renewable plastics that can be used in Sony’s high-performance audiovisual products.

The supply chain consists of 14 companies across five countries and regions. The various plastic materials manufacture through this supply are slated for use in Sony’s products that will launch worldwide.

High-performance products such as audiovisual equipment involve a wide variety of plastics. The result is a complex supply chain that makes it difficult to visualize and manage the entire flow.

Additionally, plastic components that require high performance in terms of flame resistance and optical properties cannot be fully replaced with plastics from material recycling.

To address these challenges, these 14 companies have collaborated to visualize the existing supply chain for Sony’s products:

Sony Corporation
Mitsubishi Corporation
ADEKA CORPORATION
CHIMEI Corporation
ENEOS Corporation
Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corporation
Hanwha Impact Corporation
Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.
Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.
Neste Corporation
Qingdao Haier New Material Development Co.
Ltd., SK Geo Centric Co., Ltd.
Toray Industries, Inc.
Toray Advanced Materials Korea Inc.

Sustainability through renewable plastics

The new supply chain created will enable the production of multiple types of renewable plastics from biomass resources with a mass balance approach.

This allows Sony to proactively source raw materials for its products with quality, as well as properties equivalent to virgin fossil-based plastics.

Defining the supply chain also helps the companies track and document GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions data in a verifiable way.

This allows participating companies to leverage the data to advance efforts to reduce their carbon footprint going forward.

Sony’s initiative with a wide range of global partners is part of the “Creating NEW from reNEWable materials” jointly launched by the electronics giant and Mitsubishi.

It aims to achieve zero usage of virgin fossil-based plastics through the introduction of renewable plastics.

realme is reportedly going back to being an OPPO sub-brand

All scheduled phones will still launch on time, though.

A popular story among Chinese smartphone brands is whenever a sub-brand spinning off into its own independent entity. A less common one is when an independent entity suddenly merges back into the main entity. And yet, that’s the story we have today. realme is reportedly going back to being a sub-brand of OPPO.

If you don’t remember realme’s time as a sub-brand, then it’s hardly your fault. It’s been a long while since realme was considered a sub-brand. In 2018, the brand spun off on its own to form one of the most popular names in the Chinese smartphone space.

Today, via Leiphone, realme will return to OPPO as a sub-brand. Current realme CEO Sky Li will still retain his responsibilities heading the brand. Plus, all products on the current release schedule will still come out as planned.

However, starting this year, realme will start reintegrating back into OPPO, particularly through the latter’s after-sales programs. OnePlus will also follow the same structure going forward.

Currently, realme has not officially announced the move. That said, we also don’t know how the brand will address the reported change. It’s possible that the shift is just internal and has no effect on how the brand faces the public. For now, only time will tell.
