- Sustainability
In this capstone project, the complex relationship between Dell Technologies and its suppliers is examined, with a focus on how the suppliers’ supply chain impacts Dell's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Facing the challenges of climate change, Dell is committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, with a significant focus on reducing emissions across its supply chain. The project aims to improve the accuracy of emissions data reported by suppliers and to identify inaccuracies, enabling Dell to effectively meet its sustainability targets. By incorporating an outlier detection model, deriving an academic model, and performing sensitivity analysis, the project assesses the impact of supplier decisions on Dell's Scope 3 emissions, contributing to strategic and collaborative efforts required to mitigate the environmental impact of the supply chain. This effort not only aids Dell in advancing toward its sustainability targets but also provides a model for other companies seeking to enhance sustainability within their supply chains.
