At Intel, environmental consciousness is part of every aspect of our work. We strive to minimize our environmental footprint and achieve the highest standards of environmental consciousness in everything we do, from how we design and manufacture our products to how we build and operate our facilities, manage resources, and handle waste materials.

Each year in April, Intel employees demonstrate their commitment to the environment by performing volunteer work in conjunction with Global Earth Day. In 2009, thousands of employees at our sites around the world participated in a range of Intel sponsored events including cleaning up parks and nature reserves.  Intel is also the co-founder of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative , which aims to improve the power efficiency and reduce the energy consumption of computers.

In 2005, Intel became one of only a few companies in the world to publicly report our environmental, health, and safety (EHS) performance indicators on a quarterly basis. By providing our stakeholders with timely information about our emissions, resource usage, employ injuries and waste generation, we have raised the bar in public reporting. In 2008, Intel was included for the tenth year in a row (since inception) in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and was named Technology Supersector Leader for the eighth year in a row in recognition of our corporate responsibility performance.
