2014 Corporate Responsibility Report

At AMD, we’re putting our corporate responsibility (CR) values into action – find out how in the 20th anniversary report.  This year’s report marks two decades since our original Environmental Report was released in 1995, a precursor to today’s more comprehensive CR report. 

Report Highlights:

• Named a top “100 Best Corporate Citizen”: For the third consecutive year, AMD was named to CR Magazine’s 2015 list of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens.
• Made significant progress on 25x20 energy efficiency initiative: The energy-efficiency measurements from our new 6th Generation AMD A-Series processors achieve a 2.4X efficiency increase which is well above the 1.7x pace necessary for the 25x20 Energy-Efficiency goal!
• Exceeded 5-year environmental goals for air, water and waste: At non-manufacturing sites, greenhouse gas emissions declined 24 percent (compared to a 5 percent goal), water use per employee declined 55 percent (compared to a 20 percent goal), and waste diverted from landfills reached 74 percent worldwide (compared to a 70 percent goal).
• Mapped CR focus areas to company value chain: CR engagement exists throughout our value chain from product design to end-of-life recycling.
