Intel Corporation's latest Corporate Responsibility Report, published today, highlights the ways the company has applied its technology and expertise to address environmental, social and economic challenges, and summarizes new long-term goals to drive continuous improvement. Addressing future challenges associated with innovation and growth will be a strategic priority for Intel in the coming years.

The report includes a letter from Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini in which he described the company's commitment to corporate responsibility and how this commitment dates back to Intel co-founder Gordon Moore and his philosophy of "making the impossible possible." In the letter, Otellini also emphasized that engaging employees to apply technology and expertise to tackle serious challenges is good for business, while benefiting the world.

"Despite today's economic downturn, Intel's commitment to corporate responsibility is unchanged and this 2008 report highlights the positive impact in our local communities and across the globe," said Michael Jacobson, Intel's director of Corporate Responsibility. "In 2009 and beyond, we see even more opportunities for Intel to play a role in developing solutions for such challenging world issues as climate change, bridging the digital divide, and access to quality education and health care."

Highlights from the 2008 report include:

Education:

    --  Intel(R) Teach provided professional development for more than 1.1
        million teachers last year, and surpassed the milestone of training 6
        million teachers worldwide.
    --  Continuing Intel's history of investment, the Intel Foundation announced
        its single-largest commitment ever: $120 million in math and science

        helped initiate proof-of-concept projects and deployments of affordable,

        emphasizing that environmental performance is the responsibility of all
        employees.
