Electricity
Goal: 100% renewable electricity by 2030.
2023 Progress: 99% renewable electricity globally.
Over the last five years, Intel’s renewable electricity supply and attribute purchases have totaled more than 37.9 billion kWh, enough to power more than 3.5 million US households for one year. Intel now has more than 110 alternative and renewable electricity installations with capacity of more than 50,000 kW across 22 Intel campuses.1
Water
Goal: Net positive water by 2030.
2023 Progress: Net positive in US, Mexico, Costa Rica and India. 110% of freshwater usage was returned and restored.
During 2023, we conserved approximately 10.2 billion gallons and 36 billion gallons cumulatively from the 2020 baseline. In addition, Intel-enabled projects restored about 3.1 billion gallons of water to our watersheds in 2023.2
Waste
Goal: Zero waste to landfill by 2030.
2023 Progress: 6% of waste to landfill.
Intel has implemented circular strategies for approximately 63% of our manufacturing waste. Despite construction waste increasing in 2023, waste to landfill declined from 2022. This reflects the significant focus placed on landfill diversion by Intel’s construction teams.3
Climate
Goal: Net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Scope 1 and 2 by 2040. Upstream Scope 3 by 2050.
2023 Progress: Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse emissions decreased 43% from the 2019 baseline.
For more than two decades, Intel has voluntarily reduced our greenhouse gas emissions through significant investments and actions. Despite our growth and increase in manufacturing output and complexity of our manufacturing process technologies, we have both reduced our absolute emissions and avoided 82% of our cumulative Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions over the last decade.4
