Environmental Health & Safety


EHS Indicators

Goals

Intel's long-range goals for environmental, health and safety are embodied in our three EHS principles: prevent all injuries in the workplace; be an environmental, health and safety leader in our communities and our industry; and reduce the environmental footprint of our products, processes and operations. We also develop short-term goals for EHS improvement and measure our performance against these goals.

Up-to-date EHS Performance Data

Environmental, Health & Safety [EHS] strives for continuous improvement and reducing the environmental footprint in both our operations and products. To visibly track our performance we have made our EHS performance indicators available to the public, updated annually. We hope this will enhance our ongoing dialogue with the public for achieving EHS excellence.
