Intel

Intel is Committed to Inclusive and Sustainable Practices

As a leading investor in the Irish state and one of it’s largest employers, Intel is ahead of the curve in safeguarding the wellness of both workforce and neigbhouring areas.

ntel has a long history of

Ileadership in corporate responsibility. We have a track record of setting ambitious goals and transparently reporting on both our progress and challenges. For decades, we have worked to advance progress on complex issues together with our customers and other stakeholders.

Our new 2030 corporate responsibility strategy and goals refl ect even greater ambition for ourselves, as well as a growing sense of urgency to work with others to address challenges that no one can tackle alone. We are committing to accelerate the adoption of responsible, inclusive and sustainable practices in key areas in our operations and supply chain, and across the technology industry and society.

RESPONSIBLE We are committed to driving to even higher levels of safety, wellness, and responsible business practices in our own operations and supply chain. We will also collaborate with others and revolutionise how technology will improve health and safety through strategic healthcare, manufacturing and transportation initiatives.

As the largest private investment in the history of the Irish State, and one of the country’s largest employers, we are keenly aware of our responsibility to keep our workforce and neighbouring areas safe while practicing responsible business across our operations and our community. This past year in particular has demonstrated the importance and the value of collaborating with others to support the safety and wellness of our employees and the wider community. • Working safely through the

Pandemic: When Covid-19 reached

Ireland in February 2020, we were ready. We’re fortunate that we could tap into an international network of expertise within Intel which includes a specialised group of medical, safety and operational experts who are there to lead Intel through global health situations. We enabled a signifi cant number of our employees to work remotely, and created safe, physically distanced working areas, and implemented new processes to help protect those working on-site. • An unwavering commitment to volunteering: At Intel Ireland, we have a long and proud tradition of volunteering. As a result of the challenges brought about by the

Covid-19 pandemic, the expectation for 2020 was that volunteer hours contributed by employees would take an understandable dip. However, at this most challenging time, Intel

Ireland employees stepped up, volunteering more hours in 2020 than ever before. In total, more than 178,000 hours were volunteered by

Intel employees all across Ireland.

INCLUSIVE We are committed to advancing diversity and inclusion at Intel as we believe that our current and future

INTEL

workforce needs to refl ect the diversity of the world in which we operate and, together with a broad range of stakeholders, we’re working to make careers in technology fully inclusive and to expand digital readiness for everyone. In Ireland, we will continue to expand our talent pipeline through strategic partnerships with academic institutions across the country and by working to support inclusive programs at primary and secondary levels. The past year has seen most students pivot towards digital learning environments and this has created an opportunity to deliver our signature programs online. • Covid-19 Response: In April 2020, the

Intel Foundation donated €500,000 to the Community Foundation for

Ireland to support their Covid-19

Response Fund which provides funding to organisations supporting a diverse mix of vulnerable groups. For example, one specifi c focus has been supporting the Travelling community with donations made to Clondalkin

Travellers Development Group, Balbriggan Traveller Project and Sligo

Traveller Support Group Ltd. • Making STEM education accessible: In 2020 we launched an online version of our Mini Scientist program which was made available to schools across

Ireland. The online program, delivered in conjunction with Phil Smyth, The

Scientist, from RTÉ’s Home School

Hub, provided a series of science related and curriculum linked videos which are each accompanied by activity packs including detailed lesson plans and work sheets.

SUSTAINABLE We will continue to invest in reducing our own environmental footprint, including goals for absolute carbon emissions reductions, 100% renewable energy use, net positive water use, and zero total waste to landfi ll. We will also take on the challenge together with our customers and others to achieve carbon neutral computing through improved product energy effi ciency and sustainable design. • Manufacturing Sustainability: As we move forward with the next industrial revolution, one categorised by digital enablement and data analysis, there are new opportunities emerging to help drive a more sustainable manufacturing environment. We are embracing this opportunity as best we can, implementing a number of sustainable solutions. For example, we have changed thousands of light fi xtures in our manufacturing buildings in Leixlip, moving from fl uorescent units to a much more energy effi cient LED solution that uses a signifi cantly lower amount of power. This has resulted in an associated energy reduction of up to 90% for our cleanroom lighting. • Achieving 100% Renewable Energy

Use: Since 2016, 100% of all electricity green attributes supplied to our Leixlip campus were generated from indigenous renewable sources, making Intel one of the largest voluntary, private purchasers of renewable energy in the country. To support this goal, we conserve energy

within our operations, with reduction activities since 2012 resulting in over 365,000 tonnes of Carbon saved. • Water restoration in Ireland: In 2021

Intel and the National Parks and

Wildlife Service (NPWS) launched a blanket bog restoration project in the

Wicklow Mountains National Park.

This is Intel’s fi rst water restoration project in Ireland. The project will see 60 hectares of drained bog re-wetted to increase water storage levels in part of the River Liff ey headwaters by an expected 50-90 million litres.

ENABLING We will accelerate the ways in which we will enable progress through our technology and the expertise and passion of Intel employees.

“One Intel” is a core value of our company, an ethos that unites us as a powerful force for good and inspires us to commit to team over individual success. Here in Ireland, our employees embrace the power of “One Intel” every day and it is through their passion and dedication that we fi nd continued ways to enable progress towards our goals. • Matching Donations: In response to the

Covid-19 crisis, the Intel Foundation established a special donation matching campaign to amplify the contributions of our employees in

Ireland. Intel employees who donated to the charities CMRF Crumlin,

ALONE or Jigsaw had their donations matched with a total of $64,000 being donated to the 3 organisations.

• Business Working Responsibly Mark:

Since 2011, Intel Ireland has been accredited to the prestigious Business

Working Responsibly Mark. Based on ISO26000, the Mark is the top

CSR and Sustainability standard in

Ireland. The Mark provides a root and branch review of an organisation, assessing and certifying the full CSR

Management System. The Mark, which requires re-certifi cation every 3 years, is independently audited by the National Standards Authority of

Ireland (NSAI).
