Dell has announced plans to neutralise the carbon impact of its worldwide operations.

“Never before in the history of business have we seen such a critical need to build a worldwide community dedicated to improving the environment,” said chairman Michael Dell at a policy forum organised by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies.

“Leadership starts at home, which is why we are going carbon neutral, but this should only be the beginning of building long-term partnerships with customers, stakeholders and suppliers to make a difference for the Earth we all share.”

Very cool, I wonder if Dell’s competitors will start down this path as well, but do we want to be heading for carbon neutrality as a business, or do we want to be owning the supply chain, ensuring that from commission to decommission (the life-cycle of the server), we do everything we can to minimize any impact on the environment through good design, effective configuration and implementation until recycling? We’ll see, well done to Dell for moving to be more environmentally considerate.
