At our Massachusetts campus facilities, which account for more than 30 percent of our corporate physical footprint, we have implemented a stringent Stormwater Management System to help protect and maintain the integrity of the surrounding resources. At these facilities, we have also implemented an Integrated Pest Management program to minimize and eliminate the use of chemical herbicides, insecticides, and pesticides where possible. Through diligent management efforts, we ensure a high quality of storm water runoff from our facilities. This minimizes the impact of our operations on natural resources, including groundwater and surface water, and helps ensure that these resources are protected in the future. At the EMC Bangalore Center of Excellence (COE) facility, wastewater is reclaimed at the on-site treatment plant. Unused gray water is returned to the ground through infiltration systems to replenish local watersheds. In 2012, we recycled more than 39,415 cubic meters of treated gray water at the Bangalore India COE facility. EMC has various water efficiency and conservation features in its owned and operated facilities worldwide, such as low-flow plumbing fixtures, rainwater capture systems and free air cooling. EMC takes sustainability and water conservation into consideration when constructing new buildings. In our new Durham Data Center in North Carolina, efficiency design innovations include a rooftop water collection system that has reduced our water usage at the facility by more than 40 percent one inch of rain on the 450,000 square foot roof equals 280,000 gallons of water. Air-intake plenums around the perimeter of the building and air-side economizers provide free cooling during the months of cool weather approximately 5,000 hours per year - reducing water consumption required to cool the data center. EMC has incorporated numerous innovative and efficient technologies to reduce the water consumption for cooling the data centers, both in our own operations and for our customers. We are leading a shift to cloud computing, which is converting IT infrastructure into a highly efficient, shared, dynamic, and flexible service for substantial improvements in power and cooling efficiency. Through dynamic provisioning of resources, the cloud enables the spread of peak demands across a pool of resources. As a result, less hardware, less energy and water are needed to serve the data center s aggregate needs. Furthermore, EMC s virtualization software can greatly increase the energy efficiency of existing data centers/servers by consolidating hardware assets, thereby significantly reducing energy and water consumption, and avoiding the need for additional data center facilities. We continue to develop and incorporate features into our storage platforms that save energy and reduce water consumed for cooling. Features include fully automated storage tiering, compression, deduplication, and adaptive cooling. We have collected water consumption data back to 2007 for all of our owned facilities and some of the large leased facilities, and used the WBCSD Water Tool to analyze our water footprint and operations in water stressed areas. In 2012, 79 percent of the water withdrawal data were compiled from reliable water bills and water meter readings. The remaining annual corporate water consumption was estimated using a water intensity factor calculated by benchmarking consumption at metered EMC 6

EMC has adopted the EICC Code of Conduct. We ask our Tier 1 direct suppliers to acknowledge our Supplier Code of Conduct, and to apply the same standards to their suppliers. This code requires compliance with all environmental regulations; pollution prevention and resource reduction; and responsible wastewater management. We also require suppliers to submit annual environmental reporting through the EICC s Carbon & Water Reporting Initiative. The data we collect provide valuable information on supplier performance and help guide prioritization of resources, training, and collaboration. In 2012, we requested water reporting from direct Tier 1 and strategic Tier 2 suppliers. 59 percent of these suppliers responded, up from 33 percent in At EMC, we depend upon the engagement of our employees, who are the best source of innovative ideas and our ambassadors to the customers and the community. At various Earth Day and community involvement events, our employees volunteered to clean up local rivers and watersheds. Vendors were on-site to demonstrate local water conservations and treatment technologies, and water education fairs were held. EMC actively communicates with the public and engages with local communities on water conservation initiatives, goals and performance in an ongoing basis. We report on our water conservation initiatives, goals and performance on EMC.com, in our corporate sustainability reports, and to the CDP Water Disclosure program. Through the 2012 EMC Marketing Gives Back campaign, EMC employees raised funds to support charity: water, a nonprofit organization that provides clean, safe drinking water to people in developing countries. The money raised helped fund the construction of five wells that supply water for more than 1,000 people in Ethiopia. During the campaign, the team raised awareness about the global need for safe drinking water through activities such as a water walk, which simulated the experience of walking three miles with a 40-pound can of water. EMC's Vice President of Corporate Sustainability serves on the Board of The Green Grid, a consortium of companies dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and computing ecosystems. EMC is contributing to The Green Grid s development of best practices, studies, and energy efficiency indicators for data centers. Energy efficiency in computing impacts water by reducing the amount of waste heat, in turn reducing water required for cooling. The Green Grid has a water usage effectiveness (WUE) metric to address water usage in data centers. WUE, combined with the power usage effectiveness (PUE ) and carbon usage effectiveness (CUE ) metrics, enables data center operators to quickly assess the water, energy, and carbon sustainability aspects of their data centers, compare the results, and determine if any energy efficiency and/or sustainability improvements need to be made. We have started to track the WUE at our Durham Data Center to have a greater understanding of where our water is used, and are planning to roll it out to other data centers. 7

16 Page: 6. Tradeoffs 6.1 Has your company identified any linkages or trade-offs between water and carbon emissions in its operations or supply chain? Yes 6.1a Please describe the linkages or trade-offs and the related management policy or action. Linkage Linkage or trade-off Trade-off Policy or action EMC recognizes that water, energy and carbon emissions are interconnected. Water is required to generate and transmit the energy we consume, and energy is used to supply the water we use. Our suppliers use water in their operations to produce the material components in our products. Carbon emissions are generated from all the activities. Water conservation and efficiency activities save energy and help reduce the carbon emissions generated from these activities. EMC also understands that there can be trade-offs between water and carbon emissions. Water and energy are needed to power and cool our own data centers as well as those of our customers, and our wastewater treatment plant consumes energy while reducing our water footprint. We take a holistic view of energy and water use and the resulting carbon emissions, and thus focus on driving efficiencies in our products and operations. For example, applying free air cooling technology has allowed us to reduce the amount of energy and water consumed in our data centers and labs. Further Information We are conducting a deeper analysis to further understand the linkages and trade-offs between water and carbon emissions. We will use the findings to develop strategies to help minimize our overall impact on the environment. 15
