Toward a New Era of Shared Corporate Responsibility
Our commitment to positive global impact is embedded in our purpose to create technology that enriches the lives of every person on earth.
Accelerating Progress Against the World’s Critical Challenges
Our world is facing challenges unlike any we have seen before. The urgent need for action on issues like climate change, the deep digital divide, lack of inclusion, and global pandemics calls for a new era of shared responsibility.
Our RISE Strategy
We are raising the bar for ourselves and evolving our corporate responsibility strategy to increase the scale of our work with others to create a more responsible, inclusive, and sustainable world, enabled through technology and our collective actions.
Responsible
Lead in advancing safety, wellness, and responsible business practices across our global manufacturing operations, our value chain, and beyond.
Combat Forced and Bonded Labor
We have worked to build a strong system to detect and address risks of forced and bonded labor among our suppliers and their recruiting and labor agents. We are scaling our supplier responsibility programs to ensure respect for human rights for vulnerable workers deeper in our own supply chain and across industries.

Standardize Lifesaving Technologies
According to the World Health Organization, 1.35 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. We are collaborating with our industry and ecosystem partners to advance the adoption of technology-neutral safety standards to reduce traffic accidents globally.
Revolutionize Health and Safety
Through our Pandemic Response Technology Initiative (PRTI), we accelerated access to technology needed to combat the pandemic. In early 2021, we expanded the PRTI to become the Intel RISE Technology Initiative to apply technology solutions more broadly.
Inclusive
Advance diversity and inclusion across our global workforce and industry, and expand opportunities for others through technology, inclusion, and digital readiness initiatives.
Increase Diversity in Our Global Workforce
We are working to increase the number of women in technical roles to 40%, double the number of women and underrepresented minorities in senior leadership, and ensure that inclusive leadership practices and accountability are embedded in our culture globally.

Advance Supplier Diversity and Inclusion
Diverse suppliers provide new perspectives and solutions to improve the ways we operate. We spent $1.2 billion with diverse-owned suppliers in 2020, making progress toward our 2030 goal to reach $2 billion annually.
Make Technology Fully Inclusive and Expand Digital Readiness
We aim to partner with 30 governments and 30,000 institutions worldwide to empower more than 30 million people with AI skills training for current and future jobs. The Intel® AI For Youth program, for example, empowers students to learn while creating their own social impact projects.

Sustainable
Be a global leader in sustainability and enable our customers and others to reduce their environmental impact through our actions and technology.
Advance Sustainable Global Manufacturing Practices
By 2030, we will achieve net positive water use, 100% renewable power, zero total waste to landfill, and additional absolute carbon emissions reductions, even as we grow our manufacturing capacity.

Drive Technology Industry Collaborations
We will create a collective approach to reducing emissions for the semiconductor manufacturing industry and advancing sustainable chemistry practices.
Achieve Carbon-Neutral Computing
We are working with our customers and others to transform product energy use and apply technology to reduce computing-related climate impacts across the global economy. This includes collaboration with PC manufacturers to build the most sustainable and energy-efficient PCs on the planet—systems that minimize carbon, water, and waste in their design and use.
Enabling
Through innovative technology and the expertise and passion of our employees, we enable positive change within Intel, across our industry, and beyond.
