The Supply Chain Assurance organization within Dell's Global Operations organization has a Social and Environmental Responsibility (SER) function that deploys programs and operations teams and drives social and environmental standards across the supply chain, including those related to forced labor. These teams work across Global Operations with procurement and manufacturing organizations and include specialists dedicated to monitoring and training suppliers.

Representatives from each of the group entities (including the reporting entities) participate in working group meetings and/or receive regular/ periodic briefings from the SER function. A working group is operational to consult Dell group entities to ensure that the country specific risks have been appropriately identified, assessed and addressed and that the group entities are aware of the actions needed to be taken to mitigate and eliminate the risks. Specifically, input is sought and considered prior to the annual refresh of this Statement to ensure all group entity requirements are clearly stated. P-3
