“Intel is committed to being a leader in environmental sustainability. Reducing our environmental impact not only benefits our business and our communities, but is the right thing to do.” – Ann Kelleher Senior Vice President General Manager, Technology, and Manufacturing Group

Restore 100% Global Water Use

Over the last two decades, our sustainable water management efforts have enabled us to conserve billions of gallons of water and return approximately 80% of our water use back to our communities. Now, we are broadening our focus to restore 100% of our global water use.

The Power of People and Technology

We believe that employee engagement is key to attaining our environmental objectives. Since 2008, we have linked a portion of each employee’s compensation to the achievement of environmental sustainability metrics. Through our Environmental Excellence Award program, we recognize employees who help reduce our environmental impact at Intel or in our communities. We also collaborate with partners to apply our technology to solve environmental challenges.
