37 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report Employee Health, Safety, and Wellness We continue to invest in health, safety, and wellness programs to help employees enjoy a better quality of life and contribute to Intel’s success. Throughout our response to COVID-19, our priority has been to protect our essential workers who have worked on site, as well as our employees working remotely. Our Global Environmental, Health, and Safety Policy defines our commitment to provide a safe and injury-free workplace for all our employees, contractors, customers, partners, and the public. We recognize the importance of environmental, health, and safety (EHS) to our business success and we constantly work to assess and improve our EHS management system, standards, culture performance, early intervention, and injury-reduction initiatives. Since 2001, we have maintained a multi-site certification to the internationally recognized ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards to ensure that our manufacturing sites sustain a comprehensive, fully integrated EHS management system. In 2021, inde - pendent third-party virtual audits were conducted to maintain this certification. For information on our EHS assurance program, see “ Environmental Management ” in the Sustainable section of this report. For the past two years, Intel’s Pandemic Leadership Team (PLT) has led our response to the COVID-19 pandemic, pivoting quickly and ethically to deal with ever-changing government restrictions and require - ments in the 50-plus countries and regions where Intel operates. From virus variants, case expansions, govern - mental restrictions, and vaccination requirements, the PLT has helped keep Intel's employees and contingent workers safe, healthy, and productive, whether they are working on site or remotely. In 2021, Intel implemented global clinics that delivered vaccinations to more than 60,000 employees, contingent workers, and their household members. As we expand manufacturing operations in support of Intel’s IDM 2.0 strategy, we will continue to implement world-class EHS programs to care for people and the planet—from the development of our products through our manufacturing and supply chain. Advancing accountability and improving performance across our supply chain creates value for Intel and our customers by helping us reduce risks, improve product quality, and achieve environmental and social goals. For more information, see “ Supply Chain Responsibility ” in the Our Business section of this report. Health and safety training creates awareness and enables our employees to better understand their safety responsibilities. Our training system covers information needed for specific jobs (such as electrical safety, ergo - nomics, control of hazardous materials, and chemical safety) in different languages, and includes web-based, instructor-led, and on-the-job training, and innovative learning methodologies such as virtual and augmented reality. We launched an EHS training tracker in 2021 to support both compliance and risk reduction. In 2021, our manufacturing, supply chain, and technology development organizations introduced quarterly, trackable manager “Safety TALKs“ to encourage proactive one-on-one discussions between managers and employees on various safety topics. We also began requiring all employees to complete “Safety Always“ training to boost safety awareness across the company. In addition, we implemented a new requirement for all non-factory employees to complete “Office Ergonomics“ training to build awareness of office ergonomic risks, proper ergonomic workstation set-up, and ergonomic services available. We tracked completion of both classes as a 2021 safety leading indicator, and reported strong performance at 98% and 94%, respectively. During 2021, EHS partnered with our Corporate Services and Global Supply Chain organizations to research and recommend chairs and desks for employees working remotely, and provided a portal to enable easy ordering of ergonomically approved equipment worldwide. In addition, we developed a one-stop Future of Work ergonomics site to provide easy employee access to all key ergonomic services and reporting information. We achieved an EHS training milestone in 2021, with an all- time-high 555,000 EHS training hours completed.
