Goals
Report Section 2008 Performance to Goals Goals for 2009 and Beyond
Environment At the beginning of 2008, we set new five-year goals related to global-warming emissions, energy, water use, waste reduction, recycling, and product energy efficiency. While we faced challenges in areas such as water conservation and chemical waste, we are taking measures to stay on track to meet our goals by 2012. In 2009, we will continue to work toward achieving our 2012 environmental goals, with a targeted focus on reducing water consumption and identifying new ways to reduce the generation of chemical waste.
Workplace We partially achieved our 2008 diversity goal. While the overall percentage of women in our global workforce remained flat, we saw gains in the number of women (worldwide) and minorities (in the U.S.) as a percentage of new hires. We will continue to work toward achieving workforce parity, and have added a goal to improve early reporting of ergonomic injuries in the workplace.
Supply chain We successfully met our goals in the areas of “green” purchasing, corporate responsibility training for suppliers, diverse bidding opportunities, and more. We did not fully achieve our targets for completion of supplier assessments and audits, due in part to a delay in the rollout of a new industry-wide audit process. We set a number of goals to continue to advance the integration of Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition tools and processes into our management processes. Additional goals focus on encouraging environmental responsibility among suppliers and improving supplier diversity.
Community We exceeded our goal of donating 1 million volunteer hours in celebration of our 40th anniversary, and recorded employee volunteerism in 40 countries, compared to 14 in 2007. We did not fully meet our goal of conducting country-level assessments of community needs and opportunities. We will work to maintain at least a 40 percent employee volunteerism rate and develop a skills-based volunteer program.
Education We met most of our goals, including training more than 1.1 million educators through our Intel® Teach Program, expanding access to technology in schools, and accelerating the adoption of technology curriculum in universities. For 2009, we have streamlined our education goals to focus on the Intel® Teach Program and the Intel® Higher Education Program.
