In light of COVID-19, the need for corporations to take a collaborative approach to solve the world\u2019s greatest challenges has never been more apparent. This is especially true for technology companies as data and information play a crucial role in helping to track, diagnose and treat this pandemic, and will continue to do so as we look to get ahead of future global challenges.<\/p>\n

Intel has a long history of integrating corporate responsibility efforts into our operations, and it\u2019s hard to believe that nearly 10 years have passed since we developed our 2020 corporate responsibility goals. I am pleased to share that we achieved nearly all of them. Our latest Corporate Responsibility Report<\/a><\/strong> details our efforts, but there are a few accomplishments I\u2019d like to highlight:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Addressing climate change and sustainable water use<\/strong> are priorities for Intel given the energy and water intensity of semiconductor manufacturing. The United Nations reports that climate change is affecting every country on Earth \u2014 disrupting economies and changing weather patterns; and greenhouse gas emissions are at their highest levels. The UN also reports it is impacting our water, resulting in unpredictable supply, impaired quality and depleted sources. Some of the ways we have addressed climate change are by increasing our use of green power to 71% globally and reducing our direct carbon emissions by 39% on an intensity basis from a 2010 baseline. Since 2000, we have reduced our Scope 1 and 2 emissions 31% on an absolute basis[1]<\/span>, even as we significantly expanded our manufacturing capacity. We also exceeded our goal to reduce our water use below 2010 levels on an intensity basis[2]<\/span>, achieving a 38% decrease. In partnership with environmental nonprofit organizations, we restored one billion gallons of water to local watersheds.<\/p>\n
