Intel and the Environment

We aspire to be a global leader in sustainability and enable partners and customers to reduce their environmental impact through our actions. Our environmental projects and company-wide initiatives are driving reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, water use, and waste generation around the world.

Learn more about our operational sustainability goals below.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Through conservation, strong collaborations, and application of technology, we have long worked to reduce the environmental impact of our operations. Our operational sustainability goals help answer the call for even more urgent action to further addressing climate change, responsibly managing our water use, identifying innovative ways to achieve zero waste to landfill, and implementing circular economy strategies for our manufacturing waste streams. 

We recognize that solving the world's environmental challenges requires broad, collective action, and we collaborate with governments, other companies, our suppliers, and nonprofits to help others reduce their own environmental impacts.

As part of our commitment to achieve net positive water, we are restoring water to support the communities we call home. To date, we have funded more than 40 water restoration projects, collectively restoring billions of gallons of water to local watersheds each year.
