To mark its first year of its commitment to be green, Dell has released the results of its year of greening.
Dell has reportedly recovered 46.27 million kilograms of goods from consumers in 2007 through its free pick-up programme. This is a 20% increase from the previous year.
Since 2005, Dell's client desktops systems have helped save approximately $2.5 billion and 24 million tons of carbon emissions through the use of its Energy Smart settings.
The company also explained its goal to have notebooks and desktops using 25% less energy by 2010. Dell is also planning to expand its "Plant a Tree for Me" programme, whereby Dell and partners facilitate tree planting in reforestation projects.
Dell's hopes its energy-efficiency programmes will culminate in the realisation of its goal to be carbon neutral by the end of this year. The energy improvements to Dell are saving the company approximately $2 million a year.
Its headquarters have already been using 100% green energy since April, and the company has among the lowest carbon intensity of the Fortune 50 companies.
