Our IDM 2.0 Strategy
Intel has been an integrated device manufacturer
(IDM)—a company that both designs and builds its own
semiconductor chips—since the company's founding in
1968. In 2021, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger introduced IDM
2.0, a major evolution of that strategy to enable Intel to
regain unquestioned technology leadership, manufac-
turing scale, and long-term growth. IDM 2.0 combines
three capabilities:

associates and customers to create global impact. As the guardians of Moore’s Law, a law of
economics put forth by our co-founder Gordon Moore more than 50 years ago, we continuously
innovate to advance the design and manufacturing of semiconductors to help address our
customers’ greatest challenges.

This year’s highlights


4th Gen Intel® Xeon® processors
We launched the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors (also known as Sapphire Rapids),
Intel’s most sustainable data center processors. The new processors deliver customers a leap in
data center performance, efficiency, security, and new capabilities for AI, the cloud, the network
and edge, and the world’s most powerful supercomputers.

The CHIPS and Science Act


Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger was on hand to celebrate US President Joe Biden’s signing of the
US CHIPS and Science Act, a victory for the semiconductor industry as well as American
technological leadership and innovation. The CHIPS act will boost American semiconductor
research, development, and production, helping to establish US leadership in technology that
forms the foundation of everything from household appliances to automobiles to defense systems.

Manufacturing Expansion
We broke ground on two new leading-edge chip factories in Ohio, and also unveiled plans for an
€80 billion decade-long investment in the European Union. Included are plans to invest up to
an initial €17.0 billion to build a leading-edge semiconductor fab mega-site in Germany; to create
a new R&D and design hub in France; and to invest in R&D, manufacturing, and foundry services
in Ireland, Italy, Poland, and Spain.

ESG Materiality Matrix
The output of this work is our corporate responsibility
materiality1 matrix, which plots material ESG issues
based on their current or potential relevance—from the
Intel perspective (“x” axis) and degree of external stake-
holder concern (“y” axis). Issues and themes in each cell
are viewed as equivalent in priority for Intel and are listed
in alphabetical order. Issues and themes are assigned singly
as “Environmental,” “Social,” or “Economic/Governance”
based on how they have traditionally been understood.
We recognize that many ESG issues and themes are
multi-faceted and intersectional in nature and as such,
in practice, do not fall neatly into one designation as
depicted here for ease of interpretation. It is important
to note that everything included within the materiality
matrix is of importance to Intel; the subjects and themes
listed in the matrix were prioritized from multiple topics
that were identified and reviewed during the process.

This work informs our ESG strategy and goals and is used
to help draw attention and resources to where they are
most needed.

Driving to the lowest possible environmental footprint as we grow helps us create efficiencies and
respond to the needs of our stakeholders. We work across three main focus areas—climate, water,
and waste—and invest in conservation projects and set company-wide environmental targets. We
also collaborate externally to increase our “handprint”—the ways in which Intel® technologies can
help others reduce their footprints.

This year’s highlights


9.6 billion gallons water saved
In 2022, we conserved approximately 9.6 billion gallons of water in our operations and community
collaborations and enabled restoration of 3.0 billion gallons through watershed restoration projects.
These achievements advanced us toward our goal of net positive water. We continued to achieve
net positive water in two countries: the US and India.

93% renewable electricity globally


In 2022, we achieved 100% renewable electricity in the US, European Union, Israel, and Malaysia,
and are approaching 100% in Costa Rica—bringing the global total to 93%. Over the last five years,
we have purchased 33.6 billion kWh of renewable electricity, enough to power more than 3.2 million
US households for one year.1

67% manufacturing waste upcycled


During 2022, circular economy practices were applied to approximately 67% of our manufacturing
waste streams via reuse, recovery, or recycling.

released our 4th Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, which achieved approximately 2.2X improvement in
energy efficiency vs. the 2019 baseline, as measured by SERT using high-volume SKUs. This surpasses the 2022
goal of 1.9X based on planned trajectory toward 10X improvement by 2030. This is the second consecutive year
that Intel has successfully demonstrated to within 5% of our planned trajectory to the 10X by 2030 goal for server.

Looking Ahead. For 2023, we plan to report on server progress toward the 2030 goals based on planned release

Sustainable Packaging
Intel has long worked to design packaging with a focus on
reducing unfavorable material, increasing material efficiency,
optimizing for recovery and recycling, prioritizing recycled
content, and sourcing responsible materials. Working with
suppliers, we developed a reusable precision thermoform
tray for incoming material and for finished goods shipping
to customers and eliminated piece part trays that were
historically sent to landfill. The mass of the thermoform
tray is 50% less than an industry injection molded tray and
made of a more recyclable material (PET). Its closed pocket
eliminates non-recyclable covers that were previously used to
prevent product contamination in typical industry trays. We
worked to include post-consumer recycled material in the
thermoform trays so that nearly half of the tray is non-virgin
material. Since 2009, we conservatively estimate that we
have eliminated over 22,600 metric tons of plastic material
through these initiatives. To drive further progress, we have
set two 2025 sustainable packaging targets: First, over 95%
of the materials used in our new product packaging designs,
by weight, will be recyclable or reusable; as of the end of
2022, we were exceeding this goal, at 96%. Second, 100% of
the virgin wood fiber used in current and new Intel-designed
corrugated fiberboard packaging will be from a certified,

Enabling: Our Approach
Our employees’ expertise, dedication to making
lives better in their communities, and passion for
solving global challenges through application of Intel®
technology are critical to the achievement of our RISE
goals. We have long cultivated a culture aimed at
enabling and strongly encouraging employees to be
involved in their communities, and they have donated
millions of volunteer hours. To continue this tradition of
impact, we aim to donate an additional 10 million hours
of volunteer service between 2020 and 2030, and to
increase the impact of our skills-based volunteering.

To catalyze action and amplify the impact of our


employees‘ service and generosity, Intel and the Intel
Foundation invest in matching programs and innovative
collaborations. In turn, our investments and support
of local communities help us build trust with external
stakeholders and realize our corporate purpose of
enriching lives through technology.

As an innovation leader, Intel is well-positioned to


share its technology expertise and solutions with com-
munities, customers, governments, non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), and educators to help them
reach their own goals and effect broader change. We
aspire to drive collective impact through our Intel RISE

Making a Difference in Local Communities


Our employees passionately work to address challenges and
disparities in the communities where they live and work. Here
are a few examples from 2022:

In celebration of Earth Day and in support of Intel’s commitment


to sustainability, more than 800 Intel volunteers across the
US participated in community cleanups with local nonprofits.
Volunteers in Costa Rica also completed a reforestation project,
and in Mexico, employees helped clean up an open space and
supported conservation efforts by covering the exposed ground
with shredded wood and plants.

To encourage more women to consider careers in technology,


volunteers in Vietnam participated in a 12-week mentoring program
aimed at preparing more than 100 students to participate in the
global Technovation Challenge. This challenge, geared toward
encouraging girls to engage with STEM, asks students to look at
their communities and identify ways that technology could be
used to help solve problems.

Volunteers in Israel collaborated with the city of Petach Tikva,


residents, and athletes to design and build an “extended reality”
dome to create an immersive learning experience for students in
the community. The project, which combines virtual and augmented
reality technology, seeks to reinforce social-emotional resilience and
inquiry-driven learning among local youth.

Collaborating for Technology Impact
To solve global challenges, we are changing the ways we work with customers, external organizations,
and employees. Below are examples of collaborations that focus on our RISE goals and strategic growth areas.

Inspiring Sustainability Solutions


Non-native grasses in desert landscapes are a major
contributor to wildfires around the world, resulting in
destruction of land and impacts to wildlife and people.
For several years, an Intel employee has been leading
a team of global volunteers to leverage technology to
address the issue. Working with the McDowell Sonoran
Conservancy in Arizona, drone technology is being used
to capture images of the desert landscape. Volunteers
are building an AI model to analyze the images and
identify precisely where the invasive grasses are.
Conservancy staff and volunteers are then able to
treat and remove the plants, saving hundreds of hours
of time previously spent locating the grasses.

Standards Board Standards (SASB) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Below is a mapping of how our latest disclosure aligns with these
frameworks.

SASB. SASB has developed voluntary industry-specific disclosure standards for sustainability issues in order to facilitate communication by companies to investors of

UN Sustainable Development Goals
The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are aimed at stimulating action in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet. We believe that the achievement
of the SDGs will be critical to creating a life of dignity and opportunity for all, and we believe technology will play a key role in achieving the SDGs. We use the goals below to
inform the ongoing development of our strategies, initiatives, and long-term priorities, including our RISE Strategy and goals. We believe that information communications
technology (ICT) can play an enabling role in the implementation of all of the SDGs. Intel, Nethope, and the UN Foundation developed an SDG ICT Playbook that outlines
technology trends, opportunities, and innovative case studies that global leaders can reference as they develop their strategies and actions to address the SDGs.

2022 Water Inventory by Location and Source
The following table details our water use, discharge, consumption, conservation, and restoration by source and destination for Intel sites around the world. Our fresh water
withdrawals totaled 10.9 billion gallons (41.4 gigaliters) in 2022. Approximately 78% of the water used at our sites was sent back to municipal treatment operations, where it
was treated so that it could be used for other purposes or to recharge surface or groundwater sources. For additional information, see the Sustainable section of this report.
To prepare our global water inventory, we follow established internal procedures for collecting, reviewing, and reporting water data. Internal data collection and reporting
practices are outlined within corporate standards and guidance documents developed by Intel. After a corporate-wide inventory was prepared, it was reviewed internally
and water conservation data were assured by Apex Companies LLC (see the “Independent Limited Assurance Statement” in this Appendix).
