provides visibility into progress made toward the Company's 2020
science-based goals, and highlights the programs and initiatives
advancing the primary sustainability priorities for EMC.
"IT is at the center of a monumental shift that is transforming
the world. Technology is making it possible to better understand
and shape a healthy and sustainable future," said David Goulden, CEO at EMC Information
Infrastructure. "EMC is excited and committed to being part of this
tremendous opportunity – for our business, our employees and the
communities in which we operate."

Report Highlights
The report is based on a 2015
assessment to identify and prioritize sustainability factors in
order to focus EMC resources, set goals and evolve business
practices. Informed by EMC's core business strategy and enterprise
risk analyses, the assessment resulted in the identification of
four strategic themes – Digital Transformation, Impact Through
Customers, Talent and Value Chain Responsibility – in which
sustainability plays an integral role in achieving EMC's business
objectives.
The 2015 assessment also identified seven issues having the
greatest impact on both EMC and society including: Data Privacy
& Security; Role of IT in Society; Energy; Diversity &
Inclusion; Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM); Human
Rights; and Product Stewardship. For more information on the
