Cultivating a broad perspective
To help ensure the best corporate responsibility practices, we work with a number of organizations, including CSR Europe, the Global Environmental Management Initiative, The Nature Conservancy, Conservation International, the Kenan Institute in Washington and many more. Intel also belongs to a number of high-tech trade groups worldwide, many of which focus on corporate responsibility-related matters. In addition, we present at, and participate in, a significant number of relevant conferences and meetings. In 2002, these events included Ethical Corporation USA, SRI in the Rockies, CERES, GEMI, Triple Bottom Line Investing, Envirotech, and the Danish Presidency Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility.

Corporate business principles
At an operational level, Intel's Corporate Business Principles lay out our expectations in terms of respecting human rights across all of our business operations globally. These guidelines are part of every employee's orientation at Intel; many components require periodic refresher training. All managers receive training on these policies as well, and online tools and Human Resources support provide additional guidance.

These principles address subjects such as:

  • Conflicts of interest, disclosure, antitrust, insider information and supplier expectations.
  • Non-discrimination; diversity; employee, product and facility environment, health and safety; security and privacy.
  • Information security, remuneration, bribes and gratuities, compensation and whistleblowing.
  • Intel's Corporate Business Principles and Human Resource Guidelines are uniform around the world. They compare favorably with many other external human rights and labor performance standards, including the UN Global Compact and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.

    Intel's Corporate Business Principles are currently being updated for broader, public disclosure.
