In particular, Dell will beusing the EICC's Common Audit Methodology with a subset ofour suppliers. This subset of suppliers will be identified basedon an assessment of risk. Risk criteria will include: supplierlocation, manufacturing processes, business relationship, andcommitment to adhere to EICC provisions. Dell will use a thirdpartyto conduct these audits, and continue to collaborate withsuppliers on corrective action plans. In 2006, Dell will focus onidentifying key performance indicators in order to develop arobust reporting methodology for 2007.Through our collaborative EICC effort, we expect to obtain thefollowing benefits:• improved working conditions, where workers are treatedwith dignity and respect on a broad scale• increased efficiency and less duplication of efforts (forexample, suppliers can concentrate on driving change andimprovement instead of responding to various customeraudit requests)• greater industry alignment and understanding ofbest practices• industry-wide stakeholder engagement• benchmarking best practices for supply-chainimplementation in our industryIn October 2005, the EICC Implementation Group established apartnership with the Global eSustainability Initiative (GeSI).This partnership represents information and communicationsHarmonizing and Strengthening the Implementationof a Common Code: EICCA key element of Dell's commitment to work with oursuppliers to promote sustainable practices was thedevelopment of Dell's Supplier Principles—first launchedin early 2004 with involvement from stakeholders.Initially our focus was on communication, awareness,and education to ensure Dell's supplier expectationswere understood; however, during this process we realizedthat there was a tremendous opportunity to reduceinefficiency and confusion by collaborating with industrypartners. Thus, when Dell was approached by acoalition of electronic manufacturers to develop a jointindustry code, we chose to participate.The result of this unprecedented effort is the ElectronicIndustry Code of Conduct (EICC). This code was developedamong Dell, HP, IBM and the electronic manufacturersSolectron, Sanmina-SCI, Flextronics, Celesticaand Jabil. Since its release in October 2004, a number ofcompanies including Intel, Microsoft, Cisco, and Sony,have joined the effort. In September 2005, this coalitionof technology companies updated the EICC code toreflect input from a wide variety of stakeholder organizations.Recognized standards such as the UniversalDeclaration of Human Rights (UDHR), SocialAccountability International (SAI) and the EthicalTrading Initiative (ETI), were used as references inpreparing the code.technology (ICT) companies in Europe, North America and Asia,and their efforts to develop common implementation tools forsupply-chain management. Tools include:• Supplier Risk Assessment Tool for companies toevaluate the risk level of a particular supplier in the areaof corporate responsibility, based on criteria such asgeographic location, manufacturing processes, andbusiness relationships• Self Assessment Questionnaire released in early October2005, and available in Chinese and Spanish (with plans totranslate into other languages) for companies to performself assessment• Common Audit Methodology for suppliers, participantcompanies and approved third-party auditors to use inobtaining the benefits of a common audit approach (includescommunication templates, supplier preparation guidelines,a facility audit question set, audit report templates, andauditor guidelines and training modules)• Web-Based Platform to provide participants with efficientand transparent information sharing28 D E L L S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y R E P O R T • F I S C A L Y E A R 2 0 0 6
