81 intel.com/responsibility 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report Employees Changing the World Our goal is to empower all of our employees to take action to advance Intel’s 2030 RISE strategy and goals. Intel and the Intel Foundation invest in programs that create opportunities for employees around the world to learn and connect with each other, to further integrate corporate responsibility and sustainability into their team's work objectives, and to share their engineering and other skills with our communities. Intel Involved and Skills-Based Volunteering In 2021, we continued to empower our employees to give back through Intel Involved, our global corporate employee volunteer program. Since the program’s launch in 1995, our employees have generously donated their skills, technology expertise, and more than 19.6 million hours of service to tackle environmental challenges, improve education, and help meet community needs around the world. Through Intel Involved, we identify and organize service projects for individuals and teams. The Intel Foundation amplifies the impact of volunteerism by donating cash to eligible nonprofits and schools where Intel employees and US retirees donate at least 20 hours of service in a year. In 2021, the Foundation provided $6.7 million in volunteer matching grants, and since 1995, matching grants of more than $128 million have positively impacted communities around the world. Over the past year, when in-person gatherings were limited, we continued to offer virtual volunteer opportu - nities for employees to give their time and talent to those in need. We expanded our criteria for what counts as volunteering to include acts of kindness, such as shopping for a house-bound neighbor. Our employees reported more than 848,000 volunteer hours globally in support of schools and nonprofit organizations in our communities. The Intel Employee Service Corps (IESC), Intel’s flagship skills-based volunteer program, harnesses the passion and expertise of Intel employees to drive positive social impact in communities around the world. IESC provides employees with short-term immersive and collaborative experiences in partnership with gov - ernments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to address local and global challenges, including disaster relief. In 2021, one team of IESC volunteers launched a Racial Equity Ideas Competition to crowdsource social equity solutions, and another helped deliver sports- themed virtual STEAM summer programs for middle and high school girls around the world. Making a Difference in Local Communities Our employees have found countless ways to provide service, even as the COVID-19 pandemic continued in 2021. One of our employees is a passionate volunteer for a food bank in Poland. She organizes two food drives every year, including coordinating collection logistics and coordinating with Intel employees. In 2021 she also organized five workshops for employees on subjects like food waste, food cooperatives, gardening, and more. Intel employees in China organized a tree-planting event in collaboration with more than 30 organizations, attracting more than 800 volunteers. Employees in China also hosted onsite and virtual events to promote environmental protection aware - ness among students and members of the local community, and organized campaigns aimed reducing food waste and taking other actions to promote sustainability. Although she does not have a technical background, an Intel employee in Guadalajara has dedicated hundreds of hours planning and organizing trainings for young girls who compete—and perform well—in the Technovation Challenge in Mexico. Like many Intel employees, she is extremely passionate and supportive of all projects related to girls and women in STEAM. In Ireland, an employee set up a first-of-its-kind, all-inclusive, non-competitive soccer academy at his local soccer club. The academy is open to all children with autism, Aspergers, ADHD/ADD, and other related conditions. Participation helps children develop sports knowledge, physical motor skills, independence, and social skills. Being on a team also helps with social inclusion by creating peer group networks, and improves confidence, competence, and empowerment—all while providing fun. $90.9 Million. Total matching grants for employee volunteer service through the Intel Involved Program over the past decade. Introduction Our Business Responsible Inclusive Sustainable Appendix Enabling
