Dell Computer has beaten its goal to become carbon neutral by achieving 100% neutrality ahead of schedule.   The Texas based computer manufacturer has now moved into its stated goal of becoming “the greenest technology company on the planet” through a variety of methods.   Strict company wide energy efficiency standards, purchases of green, renewable power from solar and wind power sources, limiting the company’s emissions and buying carbon credits pushed Dell to full carbon neutrality in less than one year’s time, making it an shining example to corporations the world over.

“We’re driving ‘green’ into every aspect of our global business.   This includes setting new standards for energy efficiency and green power, delivering environmental and cost savings for customers and aligning key growth priorities with our focus on preserving our shared Earth.” said Dell founder and CEO, Michael Dell
