SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 19, 2010 - Intel Corporation's latest Corporate Responsibility Report, released today, highlights the company's progress toward "next generation" corporate responsibility, in which the principles of corporate citizenship and sustainability are integrated throughout all levels of the business.

"At Intel, we continue to focus on making sure that corporate responsibility is woven through our values and decision-making processes, from the board room to the factory floor," said Michael Jacobson, Intel's director of Corporate Responsibility. "Our 2009 Corporate Responsibility Report describes our performance over the past year, highlighting what's possible when we encourage our employees to find ways to make our business more sustainable while also drawing attention to opportunities to continue to improve over time."
