Dell Technologies : Partnering for a Better Planet Today and Tomorrow

JPMorgan Chase (JPMC) and Dell Technologies recently came together to do more than business by partnering for the greater good. The two companies leveraged Dell Trade In to provide JPMC employees with an easy way to trade in old personal electronic devices for reuse and to help reduce e-waste through responsible recycling.

Both companies have aggressive sustainability goals to help protect the environment and grow the circular economy. Through Dell's 2030 goals, we are committed to taking back any equivalent product for every device we sell, use sustainable materials in products and packaging, and addressing waste and resource constraints. JPMorgan Chase has similar initiatives to help address climate change and promote long-term, innovative solutions for a more sustainable future.

"Our team works with several of our large suppliers, such as Dell, to support their sustainability efforts," said Nick Hamulak, Executive Director, JPMorgan Chase. "One of the benefits of this trade-in day is that it got our own colleagues involved both in our own efforts to advance sustainability and see first-hand the commitment of a company like Dell to help the planet and reduce e-waste."

During the on-site promotion, the Dell Trade In team collected trade-in and recycling devices on-site, saving employees trips to collect packaging and arrange shipping.

"One of the biggest challenges for anyone is understanding what action to take to reduce e-waste," said Doug Schmitt, President, Dell Technologies Services. "Dell Trade In solves that dilemma by helping you figure out if your device, Dell or non-Dell, can be refurbished for reuse and if not, we help you responsibly recycle your device for free."

Hamulak added, "seeing the success that came from this event has inspired us to explore more ways to offer permanent trade-in stations at more JPMorgan Chase locations and encourage our teams to continue to recycle responsibly."
