SHANGHAI, China--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May. 14, 2008
Visiting China This Week, Michael Dell Says Company Will Stay Close
to Relief Efforts, Offer Continued Support
Dell and its employees will donate up to RMB 2.1 million to aid relief
efforts in the wake of the massive earthquake affecting China Monday —
the second major disaster to hit Asia in less than a week.
“While our employees in Chengdu and Chongqing
are safe and accounted for, thousands of families in the region have
been impacted by these disasters,” said
Michael Dell, Dell’s chairman and CEO, who is
visiting China this week on company business. “I’ve
experienced firsthand the concern of our employees, customers and
suppliers. We hope our donations will make a difference to the thousands
affected.”
The company’s contributions will come from
Dell Inc., the Dell Foundation and Dell employees, whose funds will be
matched by Dell through the company’s Direct
Giving program.
2008 marks Dell’s 10th year doing business in
China. The company employs more than 6,000 people across the country in
several locations, including facilities in Chengdu and Chongqing, two
manufacturing plants in Xiamen, an Enterprise Command Center in Xiamen,
a global product-design/engineering center in Shanghai (one of Dell’s
largest outside the United States), and an international service center
in Dalian for customers in Japan and South Korea. Last year, Dell
employees volunteered more than 7,000 hours and the company donated RMB
5 million to Chinese charities.
