Dell commemorated World Environment Day today by joining The Prince’s Rainforests Project (PRP), an environmental initiative established by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales in 2007 to raise awareness for the link between rainforests and climate change and the need to stop deforestation.

On behalf of Dell employees worldwide, Michael Dell signed this pledge: “My company supports The Prince’s Rainforests Project’s call for emergency action to help combat climate change by addressing rainforest destruction.”

Dell joined a number of sustainability-focused companies lending their support to PRP, including Google, Marriott, Virgin, Barclays and National Geographic. Mr. Dell joined company leaders and global celebrities in discussing their interest in rainforest preservation in a new video released worldwide by PRP today at www.rainforestSOS.org.

The world’s tropical rainforests help regulate our climate, store vast amounts of carbon and generate rainfall. According to PRP, the Amazon forests alone provide storage for more than half the Earth’s fresh water, releasing 20 billion metric tons of water into the atmosphere every day.

Great news, the more vendors, service providers and communities we bring towards this initiative the more we can manage our environmental costs, improve our delivery and reduce our operations costs through more right purchasing and right sizing of the IT. Simple steps combining end user and vendor activities and best practice can make a significant difference on the way we do business and the impact we have, reducing our energy consumption, increasing recycling and reducing packaging can from a part of an overall movement to reduce impact.
