Let’s Be Clear Intel Corporate Responsibility Report 2005 www.intel.com/go/responsibility www.intel.com/go/responsibility Overview At Intel, we challenge the status quo in everything we do. Over the past year, we have worked to be more clear about what corporate responsibility means to us—by being clear about our priorities and the way we commu- nicate them. This year, you will see a new focus in our reporting, a better forum for presenting our efforts, and hopefully a new level of clarity. Read Executive Perspective, page 3.

Intel Corporate Responsibility Report 2005 • Overview www.intel.com/go/responsibility 2 The Case for Clarity A new approach to corporate responsibility at Intel. Executive Perspective 2005 was a year of significant change for Intel. In addition to evolving our business strategy and reinvigorating our brand, we have taken a more focused approach to corporate responsibility. We have worked to more clearly define A New Focus what corporate responsibility means to Intel, and we met with stakeholders in For us, corporate responsibility formal and informal feedback sessions to clarify the key corporate responsibil- means a further opportunity to challenge, inspire, enrich and ity issues for the company. enable. We are driven to make a difference in the areas of environ- ment, education and community. Defining Corporate Responsibility We look for concrete ways to lead others to new and better ways to After taking a hard look at what we believe in, we confirmed that at Intel, live and work. corporate responsibility means achieving business success in ways that honor our ethical values and demonstrate respect for people and the planet. Our actions follow certain guiding principles: • Operate with integrity and transparency • Strengthen our communities Paul S. Otellini President and CEO • Improve people’s lives through technology We also clarified the way we communicate both our commitment and our performance. In transitioning from the previous title of Global Citizen- ship Report to Corporate Responsibility Report, we better reflect both our approach to business and the way we interact with our many stakeholders around the world. Our dialogues with stakeholders also offered important feedback on the way Craig R. Barrett we approach the report’s format. As a result of their input, we dove deeper Chairman of the Board in many content areas by expanding our report information online. This year, our report focuses on three areas most material to Intel’s corporate responsi- bility efforts: the environment, education and community. Environment. Environmental excellence has long been a hallmark in Intel’s leading-edge manufactur- ing and assembly facilities worldwide. We have made progress in reducing our environmental footprint in both our operations and our products. In our operations, we reduced our emissions of perfluorocom- pounds (climate change gases) by 13% in 2005 and reduced our energy consumption per production unit by 15%. We design products with the environment in mind throughout the product life cycle. Intel Corporate Responsibility Report 2005 • Executive Perspective www.intel.com/go/responsibility 3 We are bringing new energy-efficient technologies to market and are helping drive environmentally responsible end-of-life solutions for electronics. Education. Education has been the cornerstone of our strategic global philanthropic efforts since Intel was founded. Since that time, we have invested more than $1 billion worldwide. We believe that educa- tion is critical to inspire creativity and innovation. Working with educators, governments and industry, we design and deliver innovative and unique programs in more than 50 countries on six continents. Our efforts in education grow stronger each year. In 2005, we again contributed more than $100 million to improve education and provide technology access worldwide. Community. Intel employees worldwide demonstrate a passion for community involvement. We view community leadership as our responsibility, and as a critical component of our global business success. From giving back through local volunteer efforts to our relief work following the tsunami in Southeast Asia, Hurricane Katrina in the U.S., the earthquake in Pakistan, and Hurricane Stan in Mexico and Central America, we reinforce our community commitment every day. In 2005, more than 30,000 Intel employees from around the world committed their time to make their communities better places to live and work. In addition to these focus areas, this report details the full scope of our corporate responsibility efforts, from employee development and diversity to governance, ethics and supply-chain responsibility. We attempt to offer a balanced presentation of our organization’s economic, environmental and social perfor- mance in 2005, and outline our priorities for the future. We continue to publish the report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative* (GRI) 2002 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines. Corporate responsibility is about good management and a commitment to doing things right. We trust that you will see ongoing progress in our performance and recognize the commitment that all of our employees have to facing future challenges head on. Paul S. Otellini Craig R.
