Dell today announced that it has met its ambitious carbon neutrality goals ahead of schedule. The self-proclaimed "greenest tech company on the planet" announced its goal in September of last year, hoping to hit the mark by the end of 2008.

"We're driving 'green' into every aspect of our global business," said Michael Dell of the announcement. "This includes setting new standards for energy efficiency and green power, delivering environmental and cost savings for customers and aligning key growth priorities with our focus on preserving our shared Earth. Every company can join Dell and the ReGeneration in this long-term commitment."

The company added to today's litany of green announcements by adding that it would make new investments in wind power in the US, China, and India. Dell is already working to preserve forest in Madagascar, protecting some 591,000 acres from deforestation.
