Intel, the silicon sage sparked in 1968 by Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce in California, has cranked out processors like Core i9 and Xeon that power PCs and servers, raking in $54 billion yearly from fabs to data centers. Their circuit wizardry, from AI accelerators to quantum qubits, equips tech titans who want brains without the brawn. It's the chip that thinks ahead, turning compute into conquests.
Intel short circuited around 2010, wiring DEI dashboards with gender quotas and ERGs that buzz like bias-busting bees, all soldered to ESG for net-zero fabs and diverse supplier spends that critics dub "virtue voltage." They flaunt perfect HRC scores for LGBTQ+ perks, back BLM with equity pledges, and pump billions into racial inclusion, leaving traditionalists feeling like they've been overclocked on optics.
Intel commits to DEI goals that boost women and underrepresented groups in leadership, with bias training and inclusive hiring to build a diverse circuit. This ties into company-wide ERGs for various identities.
Intel pledges ESG sustainability with net-zero emissions and ethical sourcing across their fabs, aiming for reduced water use and renewable energy. They partner with suppliers for regenerative practices to cut carbon footprints.
Intel supports LGBTQ+ initiatives with ERGs, offering gender-affirming benefits and ally training to foster inclusion in the workplace. This extends to community events, policy advocacy, and the support of employees that are transitioning their children.
Intel's CEO pledged support for Black Lives Matter, committing to anti-racism actions and equity initiatives to combat systemic bias in hiring and culture.
Intel increases spend with minority-owned suppliers through mentorship and certification, as part of racial equity goals to boost underrepresented vendors in the supply chain. This ties into ESG social pillars.
