Sector Benchmark

Note: Latest GHG and revenue data (based on tradingview.com) are used to calculate GHG emissions intensity by sector. The color scale of each bubble depends on the GHG intensity (GHG emissions per 1 million USD revenue). Sectors follow the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) that organize companies based on their primary business activities. The 11 sectors are : Information Technology, Health Care, Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, Industrials, Consumer Staples, Energy, Utilities, Real Estate, and Materials.

Intel Corp. belongs to the sector Information Technology.

Targets Set : 1.5°C by 2030 No target No
Intel Corp. is a member of the Business Ambition for 1.5 campaign (link here )

Energy and carbon management company Carbon Intelligence commits to maintain zero absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by not consuming fuels and continuing to use electricity from renewable sources through 2030. Carbon Intelligence commits to reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 65% per million GBP (British pounds) added value and by 40% from business travel per passenger-km by 2030 from a 2017 base year. Carbon Intelligence commits that 30% of its suppliers by spend covering purchased goods & services will set science-based Scope 1 and 2 targets by 2030.

Offsets

Last update for Intel by zerotracker.net: Sept. 4, 2024
Planning to use external offset credits Yes
Separate targets for emission reductions and removals No
Conditions on use of offset credits
  • Other conditions
Plans for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) Yes (unspecified)

Additional notes: (page 71, 2022-23 CSR Report) "We seek to reduce our absolute emissions to reach our net-zero commitment by 2040, and only purchase carbon offsets or removal credits after feasible reduction options have been exhausted." (Pg. 23, 2021-22 CSR Report) "In 2021, we launched the 2030 RISE Employee Engagement Champion Network, with a goal to sign on a minimum of 90 Intel employees with either a corporate responsibility function or role or as volunteers. We surpassed this goal by over 40%. We launched a sustainability training program with our external training provider, EARTH51, with great feedback on tools and learnings that empower employees to take sustainability actions on their own. Employees on the network achieved over 40,000 tons of carbon offsets on the program which went into direct projects in developing countries."
