(CSRwire) WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 2006--Intel Corporation has received the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Business Civic Leadership Center's annual Corporate Stewardship Award, recognizing the highest ideals of corporate stewardship as evidenced by the integration of company performance with a decades-long commitment to education, community development and sustainable environmental practices.

The Business Civic Leadership Council's Corporate Stewardship Award is presented annually to a business that demonstrates ethical leadership and corporate stewardship, makes a difference in the communities in which it operates and significantly contributes to the advancement of economic and social goals. Winners are chosen by a panel of independent judges, including Harvard University professor Michael Porter, former Commerce Secretary Don Evans and several prominent business leaders.

"Intel's outstanding commitment to education, community, and the environment is worthy of recognition," said BCLC Executive Director Stephen Jordan. "The company is living proof that a business can succeed while helping to conserve our natural resources for generations to come."

"At Intel, we define success not only by our business performance, but also by how we transform the world in which we live and work. We are honored to be recognized for the positive impact we have had in communities around the world," said Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini.

Since its founding, Intel has aimed to succeed in ways that honor its values -- respecting individuals, communities and the planet. Its standing as a responsible corporate citizen is important to the company -- which designs and makes energy-efficient products -- not only to meet the needs of its customers, but also because they reduce its environmental footprint. At Intel, promoting education is a priority not only because it is the key to a better, more capable world, but also because the company recognizes that its future success depends upon informed consumers and an educated workforce. And each of these priorities is combined in one of its key corporate values: to "be an asset to our communities worldwide." Intel employees contribute thousands of volunteer hours annually through the Intel Involved program in support of local education, community service projects and environmental programs.
