AMD's 2010 Corporate Responsibility Report

AMD is pleased to present our 16th consecutive corporate responsibility report. This year's report covers some major changes for AMD and sets our future direction for corporate responsibility. Some of our 2010 highlights include:

  • Established new strategies to manage corporate responsibility.
  • Expanded AMD Changing the Game, to 3,000 kids in 3 countries. This is our signature educational program that teaches STEM skills through the creation of computer games.
  • Developed a new set of aggressive environmental goals.
  • Created a study demonstrating that our new Accelerated Processing Unit, the E-350 APU (a new technology that combines a microprocessor and graphics processor) has a carbon footprint that is up to 40% less than previous AMD technology generations.
  • Aligned our employee volunteerism program with professional development and branded it AMD Community Corps., and increased the number of employee volunteers by 30 percent in the process.
  • Upped our level of disclosure and transparency, achieving an "A" (self-declared) on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) scale.

These are just a few of the highlights in our 2010 report. Please visit our website and download the report for more details. Also, please contact us with your input on how we can improve our programs and reporting going forward.

Not only is this report a window for you "“ our valued stakeholders "“ to view our performance, for us it is a mirror or a reflection of our progress. In other words, reporting is a management tool at AMD that helps us to identify the areas of strength and development for our corporate responsibility programs.
