I am honored to return to Intel as CEO, and both humbled by the
challenges and excited by the limitless opportunities made possible
by the magic of technology.
Digital technology is transforming the world at an accelerated
pace, driven by what I call the four "superpowers": cloud,
connectivity fueled by 5G, artificial intelligence (Al) and the
intelligent edge. They are superpowers because each expands the
impact of the others. And together, they are reshaping every aspect
of our lives and work. This goes straight to Intel's purpose and my
own passion: creating world-changing technology that touches and
improves the lives of every person on the planet.
That potential impact has never been clearer to me than during
this past year. We've seen unprecedented challenges, including a
global pandemic that brought untold suffering with loss of life and
livelihoods, heightened social injustice and inequities, and
continued impact of climate change. As a technologist, I have been
inspired to see the collective response to these challenges and the
critical role technology has played, from the development of
vaccines and new therapeutic treatments in record time, to the
rapid deployment of online education and learning resources.
From my early days at Intel to today, I have been extremely
proud of our company's long-standing leadership in corporate
responsibility and sustainability. This focus has positioned us to
effectively create both long-term value and respond to the growing
importance of environmental, social and governance issues to our
investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders.
In May 2020, we outlined our 2030 RISE strategy and corporate
responsibility goals for the next decade to accelerate the
integration of responsible, inclusive and sustainable practices and
innovative approaches in our operations and supply chain, across
the technology industry and beyond. All of this is enabled through
our technology and the passion and expertise of our employees.
While we are just one year into our work on these ambitious
goals, I am proud of the progress and accomplishments detailed
throughout this year's corporate responsibility report. Most
notably:
- In our own operations and supply chain, we made progress
toward our 2030 goals of 100% renewable energy and net positive
water use, increasing renewable energy from 71% to 82% and
conserving 7.1 billion gallons of water in 2020. For the fourth
consecutive year, we received a Leadership score in CDP's Supplier
Engagement Rating for our work to engage our suppliers to expand
their climate and water disclosure.
- In collaboration with the industry, we launched the
Alliance for Global Inclusion, a new coalition focused on creating
a shared set of diversity and inclusion metrics in four critical
areas: leadership representation, inclusive language, inclusive
product development and STEM readiness in underserved
communities.
- For larger global impact, we worked with over 170
customers, partners, governments, academia and NGOs on 230 projects
around the globe through Intel's Pandemic Response Technology
Initiative to accelerate access to technology at the point of
patient care and speed scientific research, ensure access to online
learning for students, and aid in economic recovery.
As we look ahead, we will build on this momentum to drive
progress and take us to even greater heights in 2021 and in the
years ahead, including:
- Advancing diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion in
our global workforce, and advocating for public policies and
laws that combat discrimination and inequities impacting our
employees and our communities, as well as taking actions to advance
our 2030 goals, including doubling the number of women and
underrepresented minorities in senior leadership and increasing
representation of women in technical roles to 40%.
- Accelerating change across the industry, working with
ecosystem partners to significantly expand global impact through
responsible minerals sourcing practices, and collaborating to
transform safety in transportation through Intel's Mobileye
business and Responsibility-Sensitive Safety (RSS) model and
integration into standards development.
- Evolving the Pandemic Response Technology Initiative to
become the Intel RISE Technology Initiative to create a broader
platform for action to make a greater impact in the world. This
expanded initiative will provide a disciplined framework through
which Intel employees can work with customers and partners to solve
problems and advance our RISE strategy and progress toward the U.N.
Sustainable Development Goals through accelerated application of
technology to global challenges in the areas of health and safety,
inclusion and accessibility, and climate and sustainability.
We will help solve the world's greatest challenges through deep
technical collaboration with our customers, helping them transform
their industries with radical innovation and leadership products,
and achieve their own corporate responsibility goals. Along with
customers, partners, governments and NGOs, we also will support
smart policies that accelerate the creation of safe and secure
digital infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and an inclusive
and skilled future workforce.
I believe deeply in this company and the wonderful future we
will create together. Our employees' technology expertise and
passion to have a positive impact in the world every day are what
inspire my confidence that we can achieve our objectives for the
next decade.
