studies, volunteer stories, and key issue overviews.
“As AMD launches high-performance computing products for
datacenters, machine learning, university research, growing
businesses, and home entertainment, we do so driven by a desire to
help solve some of the world’s biggest problems and minimize our
footprint,” said Susan Moore, AMD corporate vice president for
public affairs. “The capabilities of technology continue to expand,
providing opportunities for creative minds to affect positive
change in our world, and it is inspiring to see AMD help enable
those visions while keeping true to our own environmental and
social goals.”
AMD’s corporate responsibility update highlights how:
- AMD teams up with technology and community leaders to help
transform lives from the school classroom to the doctor’s
office.
- One hundred percent of AMD’s manufacturing supplier facilities
completed the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC)
self-assessment questionnaire, with no “high-risk” supplier
facilities identified, affirming that AMD’s suppliers are focused
on respecting human rights and providing safe,
environmentally-friendly workplaces.
- AMD has received Edison, Environmental Leader, and Energy
Manager awards for ambitiously accelerating energy efficiency in
processors for mobile devices through the AMD 25x20 Energy
Efficiency Initiative.
