What are the server OEMs really doing to and for the climate?
When it comes to ambition, HPE talks a big game. The company recently revised its net-zero green house gas emissions target earlier this year to 2040, a full 10 years ahead of Dell or Lenovo.
However, scope 1 emissions are only part of the equation and don't take into account the indirect impact these companies have on the environment simply by doing business. For example, scope 1 doesn't consider emissions produced by the utilities the OEMs get their power from. For that, you need to look at the vendors' scope 2, or indirect emissions.
Even when using the less favorable location-based scope 2 reporting method, which takes into consideration the average emissions intensity of the actual utilities powering vendors' facilities, Lenovo still holds a substantial lead over HPE, while Dell didn't report numbers for this category. To this end, Dell and HPE recently revised their scope 3 reporting methodology as of their latest ESG reports, making it even more difficult to draw meaningful comparisons here.When it comes to mitigating their impact on the climate and achieving their net-zero emissions goals on schedule, the vendors' strategies are remarkably similar.
