The following is the full text of Wang Rui's speech ：

Hello everyone , I'm Intel Wang Rui . It's a pleasure to join in 2022 ESG Global leaders summit . today , I would like to share Intel's views on... From the perspective of the semiconductor industry “ESG Corporate social responsibility under the upsurge ” Thinking .

At present , Mankind is facing the imminent challenge of global climate change . Just last month , WMO releases report , call “ The past seven years have been the hottest on record ”. Global warming 、 Extreme weather is increasing , It will have a long-term impact on the environment on which we live , And these impacts may continue , So as to cause irreversible results . In response to such a global climate crisis , Every citizen of the earth needs to act immediately , Accelerate carbon reduction , And rethink how the world works .

The good news is that , We can see , In dealing with the major challenges facing mankind all over the world , Technology is playing an increasingly critical role . In our information technology industry ： As the core of the digital economy , It has become a new engine to promote economic growth , It also helps other industries to reduce emissions by using information technology and intelligent technology , Promote the green transformation of thousands of industries . As a leading enterprise in the global semiconductor industry , Insist on being a responsible corporate citizen , We should shoulder the mission of promoting sustainable development with science and Technology .

Intel emphasizes technological innovation , It also emphasizes execution . We have always adhered to our long-term commitment to sustainable development . As early as 1994 year , Intel released its first corporate responsibility report , Set sustainable development goals and keep tracking . Two years ago. , We also launched a future oriented 2030 RISE Strategy and objectives , From multiple dimensions , Try to create a more responsible 、 An inclusive and sustainable future . not long ago , Intel publicly promises to 2040 Achieve zero net greenhouse gas emissions for global businesses by , This reflects our persistent pursuit and result orientation .

In our view ,ESG It's not a short-term opportunity , Nor is it a topic of brand communication , But a basic value , It should be integrated into the development strategy of the enterprise , Throughout the whole operation of the company . Intel's sustainable development strategy is based on our unique industrial positioning , In addition to guiding our technical product development and production operations , Also through Industrial Synergy and linkage , Play our role in the industry 、 Leading role and influence in economy and society .

We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint , In our own operations 、 Supply chain , And reduce the direct climate footprint in the marketing and use of products . So far , We have made some phased achievements ：

● First , In the use of water resources ：2021 year , Intel has saved 93 Billion gallons of operating water , According to the annual average water consumption of Chinese households 120 In tons , Equivalent to about 30 The annual water consumption of 10000 households . In the U.S. 、 India and Costa Rica , It's done “ All water resources are effectively utilized ”.

● In terms of green energy ： Our global adoption rate of green energy has reached 80%.

● In China, , Intel Chengdu factory has realized 100% Use water and electricity , And through 2020 Implemented in LED Intelligent lighting project , The annual electricity saving is about 170 Ten thousand kilowatt hours . Chengdu factory also plans to optimize production auxiliary equipment , Realize annual power saving 270 The goal of 10000 kwh .

● In waste disposal ：2021 year , We are right. 65% Of industrial waste has been reused 、 Recycle or recycle , Realized 5% Waste landfill rate .

As an innovation promoter in the field of Computing , We constantly improve the energy efficiency of our products , Create green computing ：

● such as , We are setting a new goal , Make the next generation integrated CPU and GPU Of Falcon Shores The performance per watt of the architecture is improved 5 times .

● Another example , We plan to 2030 Years ago , Connect the client and server microprocessors The energy efficiency of products is improved 10 times .

● lately , We also announced until 2024 Year of High performance computing product roadmap , We are committed to providing diversified heterogeneous architectures . These architectures will not only enable us to achieve several orders of magnitude of performance improvement , At the same time, it can also reduce the general workload , And artificial intelligence 、 encryption 、 Analyze the energy consumption of emerging workloads .

  In addition to our own efforts in the development of technical products and production and operation , We are also committed to influencing the industry through Intel Technology , Help others to reduce carbon “ footprint ”. Because we believe that it is crucial to work with ecological partners to promote sustainable development , In this way, we can “ All forces are not 、 Group wise use ”, Expand technology “ fingerprints ”, Achieve green and low-carbon leapfrog development . I'm glad to see that Intel has worked with many industry partners 、 Customers and suppliers work together , And break the mindset and constantly launch innovative solutions .

● such as , stay PC aspect ： We are jointly supporting the joint innovation of motherboard optimization , Improve system energy efficiency for equipment , Promote the concept of innovation and sustainable design on a large scale in the whole product portfolio .

● In the field of data center ： We all know that the data center is “ Big energy consumer ”, Its annual electricity consumption accounts for nearly 3%, Therefore, energy conservation and emission reduction are imperative . Intel and its partners are actively building a green data center , Innovative submerged cooling technology , recycled 90% Waste heat , Turn the data center from a power consumer into a thermal power plant , Thus, it can provide other building facilities 、 Greenhouse and other heating .

● Recently, Intel also announced its investment 7 Billion dollars to build new Big labs , And released the industry's first open intellectual property Submerged liquid cooling solution , Strive to build innovative energy efficiency solutions .

● In the field of network and edge business , We are jointly designing innovative ways to manage power consumption . For example, we have cooperated with telecom operators to create innovative power-saving solutions . Intel Xeon based scalable processor , It can enter the sleep mode when the customer traffic is low , Wait until the flow increases before resuming normal operation , Power consumption can be reduced 30-40%.

  Ambitious goals are not achieved overnight , Build a sustainable future , What is needed is long-term persistence 、 For a long time 、 A concerted effort to 、 Continuous innovation . Intel will continue to uphold its long-term commitment to the environment , Continue to promote sustainable development , And through technology 、 Professional competence of employees 、 zeal , Build a more responsible 、 More inclusive 、 A world of sustainable development , And finally achieve our mission , That is, continuous “ Create technology that changes the world , Benefit everyone on earth .”
