Intel Recognized as Global Leader for Engaging Its Supply Chain on Climate Change

February 4, 2020 /3BL Media/ - Intel has been identified as a global leader for engaging with its suppliers on climate change, being awarded a position on the Supplier Engagement Leaderboard by global environmental impact non-profit CDP.

Intel has been recognized for its actions and strategies to reduce emissions and manage climate risks in its supply chain in the past reporting year, and is among the top 3% of organizations assessed by CDP, one of almost 160 companies on the Leaderboard this year.

Intel's supply chain comprises more than 11,000 suppliers in over 90 countries. The company holds them to strong standards of operation in order to have a positive impact on the world while building better technology.

Dexter Galvin, Director of Corporates and Supply Chains at CDP said: “Congratulations to all the companies on the CDP Supplier Engagement Leaderboard for this year. They are showing leadership on engaging their suppliers to manage climate risk and cut emissions. Given that supply chain emissions are on average 5.5 times as high as a company’s operational emissions, this couldn’t be more crucial. If we are to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement and decarbonize the economy, then other companies learning from these leaders and engaging their suppliers is going to be vital”.
