Intel's Corporate Social Responsibility Highlighted
(CSRwire) SANTA CLARA, CA - Intel Corporation's ongoing commitment to
transparency and accountability is evident in its fourth annual report on
corporate social responsibility efforts and results. The goal of the
recently released Global Citizenship report, titled "Continuity and
Commitment," is to offer a balanced summary of Intel's economic,
environmental, health and safety, and social performance in 2004 and to
outline the company's priorities and commitments in these areas for the
future. The report also illustrates Intel's long-standing approach to
being a good neighbor in the communities in which it operates. "Our vision
and strategy are to drive increasing sustainability, taking into account
not only economic but environmental, community and workplace performance,"
said Craig Barrett, then-Intel chief executive officer, in the report.
(Barrett was succeeded on May 18 by Paul Otellini.) "Corporate
responsibility is simply good management." The annual report is intended
to provide information to employees, shareholders, investors, analysts,
customers, suppliers, government officials and the communities in which
Intel operates. The text of this year's report can be viewed at www.intel.com/intel/finance/gcr04.
In addition to the Citizenship Report, the 2004 EHS report is also
available at www.intel.com/go/ehs.
"At Intel, corporate responsibility means doing what is right," said Dave
Stangis, Intel's director of corporate responsibility. "It means
respecting people and the world around us. It's just how we do business.
The performance summarized in this report is a direct result of the
expertise and dedication of thousands of Intel employees." Highlights from
the 2004 Intel Global Citizenship Report include:
