94 intel.com/responsibility 2021-22 Corporate Responsibility Report 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 2030 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. Responsible SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages SDG 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment, and decent work for all SDG 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns Through our employee health, safety, and wellness goals and our supplier health and safety requirements, we promote good health and well-being. Our efforts are designed to protect vulnerable workers throughout the global supply chain, and include setting clear supplier expectations and investing in assessments, audits, and capability-building programs. We collectively address issues through our leadership in the Responsible Business Alliance, including industry initiatives on key issues such as advancing responsible minerals sourcing, addressing human rights risks such as forced and bonded labor, and improving transparency on the environmental impacts in the global electronics supply chain. Inclusive SDG 4: Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning SDG 5: Achieve gender equality and empower women and girls SDG 8: Promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth, employment, and decent work for all SDG 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries To shape the future of technology, we believe we must be representative of that future. Since 2019, we have achieved gender pay equity globally and maintained racial/ethnic pay equity in the US. We also met our commitment to reach more than $1 billion in annual spending with tier 1 and tier 2 certified diverse suppliers, 1 and collaborate with others to encourage more women and underrepresented minorities to enter and succeed in technology careers. We provide our expertise and both financial and in-kind support to help communities, governments, NGOs, and educators achieve their goals. Sustainable SDG 6: Ensure access to water and sanitation for all SDG 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all SDG 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation SDG 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns SDG 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts We have made significant investments and set aggressive goals to reduce the environmental footprint of our global manufacturing operations, including goals and policies on climate change and water conservation. We have established new 2030 sustainability goals, and will continue to invest in conservation projects, alternative energy, and product energy efficiency. We collaborate with governments, leading companies, and non - profits on innovative environmental projects, and proactively invest in our technology “handprint” to empower others to use Intel technology to reduce their environmental footprints and support sustainable consumption and production. In 2021, we also made progress toward our 2030 net positive water use goal. Enabling We advance the SDGs above also through the application of our technology and the expertise and passion of our employees. Through the Intel RISE Technology Initiative, we are funding technology projects to drive social and environmental impact in partnership with our customers. We also encourage our employees to share their experience, talents, and passions in communities around the world, and provide volunteer opportunities to help address local and global problems. The Intel Foundation acts as a catalyst for change by amplifying the investments of Intel employees across a broad spectrum of personal philanthropy and volunteerism and by working with NGOs, nonprofits, and governments on innovative programs that support underserved and disenfranchised populations. 1 We recognize certified diverse suppliers as businesses that are at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by any of the following categories: women; minorities as recognized by the country or region where the business was established; veterans/military service-disabled veterans; persons who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender; or persons with disabilities. While Intel recognizes these categories, they may vary in accordance with local law. Introduction Our Business Responsible Inclusive Sustainable Enabling Appendix
