Dell B.v., Taiwan Branch (netherlands), operating within the Electronic Computer Manufacturing industry, reported a total of approximately 107.02 billion kg CO2e in emissions for the year 2023. This comprehensive figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.

The company's emissions breakdown includes:

• Scope 1: Approximately 15.37 billion kg CO2e.
• Scope 2: Approximately 6.97 billion kg CO2e (market-based).
• Scope 3: Approximately 82.64 billion kg CO2e, with significant contributions from the use of sold products and purchased goods and services.

In terms of climate commitments, Dell Technologies Inc., the ultimate parent company from which this branch inherits its data and targets, has a long-term goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This ambitious target currently covers Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The strategy to reach net-zero involves key reduction levers such as optimising energy efficiency in manufacturing, procuring renewable electricity through power purchase agreements, increasing hydrogen utilisation, and implementing carbon capture and storage/utilisation technologies.

While the net-zero goal is company-wide, the 2050 target specifically excludes Scope 3 emissions. The company acknowledges industry-wide challenges in defining Scope 3 targets, including the lack of uniform calculation methodologies and sector-specific guidance for the chemical industry. Dell Technologies Inc. is actively engaged in sectoral initiatives, including participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Expert Advisory Group, to help develop a chemical sector-specific standard for defining science-based climate targets. This standard is anticipated for publication in 2024.
