Intel’s corporate citizenship is reflected in the design of its energy-efficient products, created not only to meet the needs of its customers, but also because they reduce its environmental footprint. At Intel, investing more than $100 million each year in 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. 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 each year through the Intel Involved program in support of local education.
