Company Targets Industry-wide Collaborations
in Health and Safety, Pandemic Preparedness, Tech Inclusion and
Carbon-Neutral Computing
Today, Intel released its annual Corporate Responsibility
Report. The report builds on Intel’s decades of transparency in
corporate responsibility and details progress Intel has made in the
past decade to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, restore billions of
gallons of water to local communities and achieve gender pay equity
across its global workforce, among other milestones. The report
also establishes a new 2030 strategy and goals for continued
progress for the next decade – from achieving net positive water
use, 100% green power and zero waste to landfills across Intel’s
global manufacturing operations to doubling the number of women and
underrepresented minorities in senior leadership roles and scaling
the impact of its supply chain human rights programs.

For the first time, Intel has defined global challenges that
expand its commitment in resources, expertise, global reach and
influence beyond its own operations to address challenges that can
only be solved by collaborating across major organizations,
industries and countries.
“The world is facing challenges that we understand better each
day as we collect and analyze more data, but they go unchecked
without a collective response – from climate change to deep digital
divides around the world to the current pandemic that has
fundamentally changed all our lives,” said Intel CEO Bob Swan. “We
can solve them, but only by working together.”
Intel committed to engage industries, governments and
communities to tackle three specific global challenges over the
next decade:
Revolutionize health and safety with technology
- Intel will work with partners in healthcare, life sciences and
government to apply technology in strategic manufacturing,
transportation and healthcare initiatives, including accelerating
cures for diseases and improving health. Its efforts will include
the company’s recently announced Pandemic Response Technology
Initiative, which applies cloud, artificial intelligence (AI) and
high-performance technology solutions to better diagnose, treat and
cure COVID-19 and to help prepare for future pandemics.
- Intel will lead a global coalition of industry leaders toward a
common objective: The safety of autonomous vehicles should not be a
point of differentiation but a shared goal. Through collaboration
with industry and governments and development of new safety
technologies and standards – such as Responsibility-Sensitive
Safety (RSS) and the forthcoming IEEE 2846 – that will provide
clear guidance on what it means for an autonomous vehicle to drive
safely, we have the potential to save more lives with autonomous
vehicles when compared to human drivers.
Make technology fully inclusive and expand digital
readiness
- Intel will work with other companies to accelerate adoption of
inclusive business practices across industries by creating and
implementing a Global Inclusion Index open standard. Using common
metrics, it will allow the industry to track progress in area such
as achieving greater levels of women and minorities in senior and
technical positions, accessible technology and equal pay. Intel has
already been collaborating with Lenovo to convene CDIOs and HR
professionals to drive industry transformation and stay at the
forefront of this work.
- Intel will partner with governments and communities to address
the digital divide and expand access to technology skills needed
for current and future jobs. An example is the Intel® AI For Youth
program, which provides AI curriculum and resources to over 100,000
high school and vocational students in 10 countries and will
continue to scale globally. By 2030, Intel plans to partner with
governments in 30 countries and 30,000 institutions worldwide and
is committed to empower more than 30 million people with AI skills
training.
Achieve carbon-neutral computing to address climate
change
- Intel will work with PC manufacturers to create the most
sustainable and energy-efficient PC in the world – one that
eliminates carbon, water and waste in its design and use.
Specifically, the company is exploring a sustainability roadmap
that would include enabling sensor technology to reduce power
usage, partnering with material vendors on recyclable packaging and
developing longer-term, energy-efficient architectures.
- Intel will collaborate with industry and policymakers to apply
technology to reduce emissions across high-impact industries.
Technology is not just at the heart of breakthroughs. It plays a
vital role in the global communities, governments and services that
people depend on every day to solve current crises while
proactively tackling future ones.
“Intel and many others in technology-driven industries see the
opportunity to leverage our R&D, creativity, expertise and
influence to collaborate on these critical issues and will become
even stronger and more relevant as a result,” Swan said. “For
Intel, it’s embedded in our purpose to create world-changing
technology that enriches the lives of every person on Earth.”
With an expansive global reach, robust supply chain and
strategic partnerships throughout the industry, Intel will leverage
this unique mix of capabilities to tackle many of today’s problems
and create the technology and partnerships that will be fundamental
in rising to the challenges of tomorrow.
Intel’s latest Corporate Responsibility Report includes details
of the new 2030 strategy and goals that will accelerate the
adoption of responsible, inclusive and sustainable practices,
enabled by Intel’s technology and the expertise and passion of its
employees around the world.
