AMD Announces 26th Annual Corporate Responsibility Report
29 Setembro 2021 - 10:00AM
AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced the publication of its 26th
annual Corporate Responsibility Report highlighting the company’s
accomplishments from the previous year, including performance
against its 2014 to 2020 targets, and unveiling new goals through
2025 and 2030. This year’s report features four key environmental,
social and governance (ESG) strategic focus areas that guide the
company’s purpose-driven approach to high-performance computing:
digital impact, environmental stewardship, supply chain
responsibility, and diversity, belonging and inclusion.
“At AMD, we are inspired by the far-reaching
potential of our high-performance computing solutions to help solve
global challenges today and in the future,” said Susan Moore,
corporate vice president of corporate responsibility and
international government affairs at AMD. “We also recognize it is
not just what our technology can do that matters, but also how we
responsibly develop and deliver it. Embedding environmental, social
and governance (ESG) performance and transparency across our
business helps us make a positive difference for our
stakeholders.”
Driving Meaningful Digital Impact
Last year, AMD established the COVID-19 High
Performance Compute (HPC) Fund to provide universities and
institutions with computing resources to accelerate medical
research on COVID-19 and other diseases. The company also recently
launched a new learning lab in Singapore for students and teachers
to advance digital literacy skills, continuing the expansion of AMD
learning labs in site communities worldwide. To demonstrate the
company’s continued commitment to digital impact moving forward,
the company has set a goal to benefit 100 million people by 2025
through AMD and AMD Foundation philanthropy and partnerships that
enable STEM education, scientific research and the workforce of the
future.1
Advancing Environmental Stewardship
AMD continues to prioritize environmental
stewardship within the company’s business strategy. The AMD 25x20
Energy Efficiency Initiative resulted in a 31.7x increase in
performance per watt in its processors for mobile devices.2
Building on this momentum, the company now aims to achieve a 30x
increase in energy efficiency by 2025 for AMD processors and
accelerators powering servers for the rapidly growing markets of
artificial intelligence (AI)-training and HPC.1 Additionally, AMD
reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its operations (scope 1
and 2) by 38% from 2014 to 2020, ahead of its 20% goal. Looking
forward, AMD has set a new science-based target for its operations
that entails a 50% reduction in GHG emissions from 2020 to
2030.
Upholding a Responsible Supply Chain
The company’s partnership approach on supply
chain responsibility focuses on delivering quality products while
upholding high social and environmental standards. In 2020, 47% of
AMD manufacturing suppliers had active audits under the Responsible
Business Alliance (RBA), with average audit scores 39% better than
the RBA average. The company has announced new 2025 supply chain
goals that include auditing 100% of its suppliers while increasing
their climate protection efforts and capacity building activities,
such as training and industry engagements.
Fostering a Culture of Diversity, Belonging and
Inclusion
AMD is committed to growing diversity, belonging
and inclusion (DB&I) in its workforce to help embrace different
viewpoints and experiences, foster innovation and challenge the
status quo when needed. The company is expanding diversity data
disclosures and efforts to deepen engagements with Historically
Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic-serving institutions
in the U.S. For 2021, increased hiring of underrepresented groups
is a component of the company’s strategic metrics and
milestones. The company has increased investments in employee
resource groups (ERGs) and announced a goal of 70% participation of
its employees in AMD ERGs and/or other AMD inclusion initiatives by
2025.3
Supporting Local AMD Communities Across the
Globe
During a time when our world particularly needs
partnerships between communities and businesses, AMD and employees
significantly increased philanthropic support throughout our site
communities worldwide. Through our combined COVID-19 response
efforts, more than $26 million USD was received by universities,
research institutes and community organizations in donated
technology, personal protective equipment and corporate and
employee giving (as of June 2021). In addition, 3,110 AMD employees
participated in 71 company-sponsored volunteer events, contributing
more than 7,050 hours of their time and talents last year.
The company’s ESG efforts in 2020-2021 have been
recognized with 100 Best Corporate Citizens, Forbes America’s Most
Just U.S. Companies, the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ
Equality, the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, Fortune Change the
World listing and the Responsible Business Alliance Compass Award
for Innovation.
