Shareholder Coalition Led by Calvert, As You Sow Foundation, Makes a Dent in Mountain of E-Waste

A coalition of investors led by Calvert Group, Ltd. and As You Sow Foundation [also including Dreyfus Premier Third Century Fund (part of Dreyfus), Green Century Funds, ISIS Asset Management, Pax World Fund, and Walden Asset Management], announced a key milestone in their electronic waste initiative as Dell Inc. became the first U.S. computer company to publicly release a global recycling goal. Dell's goal commits the company to recycling 50% more used and obsolete computer equipment in its 2005 fiscal year than it did in fiscal 2004..."... No longer will Dell introduce a new product without considering what to do with that product at the end of its useful life." [also refers to Apple, HP and IBM]
