64 intel.com/responsibility 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report Sustainable Driving to the lowest possible environmental footprint as we grow helps us create efficiencies and respond to the needs of our stakeholders. We invest in conservation projects and set company-wide environmental targets, seeking to drive reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, water use, and waste generation. We also work with others to increase our “handprint”—the ways in which Intel® technologies can help others reduce their footprints. This year’s highlights Achieved net positive water in 3 countries In 2021, we conserved 9.3 billion gallons of water in our operations and enabled restoration of 2.3 billion gallons through watershed restoration projects. These achievements advanced us toward our goal of net positive water, resulting in 99% (by volume) of global fresh water treated and returned to communities or the environment and restored through watershed projects. We have achieved net positive water in three countries: the US, India, and Costa Rica. 80% green power globally In 2021, we maintained our renewable electricity supply at 100% in the US, Europe, Israel, and Malaysia, and achieved 80% renewable electricity globally. Over the last five years, we’ve purchased 30 billion kWh of renewable electricity, enough to power more than 2.8 million US households for one year. 1 5% total waste to landfill During 2021, we sent approximately 5% of our total waste to landfill and continue to work toward our goal of zero total waste to landfill by 2030. Through the end of 2021, circular economy practices were applied to 65% of our manufacturing waste streams via reuse, recovery, or recycling. 1 Based on average US household energy usage figures published by the US Energy Information Administration.
