Dell Does Paper Use Efficiency

Dell announced today it will reduce paper usage by offering shareholders a new way to enroll in electronic delivery of the company's annual 10-K report, proxy statement and other financial materials. The company also announced plans to avoid the use of nearly 255,000 pounds of paper by replacing the printed Year in Review with an interactive online resource center.

Dell shareholders can enroll in free electronic delivery of financial materials by visiting the Investor Relations section of the company's Web site. Under the expanded program, shareholders will have access to Web-based reports, executive messages and can receive timely information on Dell's global business. The company estimates total potential savings of 678,000 pounds of paper, or the equivalent of more than 7,000 trees if 100 percent of its shareholders participate.
