Dell reports comprehensive operational emissions data with verified third-party assurance and strong near-term targets, but its total footprint is rising due to Scope 3 growth from AI server demand. Supply chain visibility is incomplete, biodiversity impact unreported, and lobbying through trade groups opposes binding climate measures.
Same formula for every company. No curve. No private weighting.
SINK = (0.3 × Base + 0.7 × Performance) × ScaleStrongest on Carbon Footprint — Operations and Targets & Commitments (8/10, 7/10). Weakest on Nature & Biodiversity Impact and Emissions Trajectory (2/10, 3/10).
