Intel Progresses ‘Next Generation’ Corporate Responsibility
Despite the difficult economic conditions of the past year, Intel continued to apply its technology and culture of innovation carried by its employees – the Sponsors of Tomorrow – to address global environmental, social and economic challenges and find new opportunities to collaborate with others to maximize impact.
“At Intel, we continue to focus on making sure that corporate responsibility is woven through our values and decision-making processes, from the board room to the factory floor,” said Michael Jacobson, Intel‘s director of Corporate Responsibility. “Our 2009 Corporate Responsibility Report describes our performance over the past year, highlighting what’s possible when we encourage our employees to find ways to make our business more sustainable while also drawing attention to opportunities to continue to improve over time.”
Highlights from the 2009 report include:
