I wanted this post’s headline to be a play on words using the word “roots.” But changed my mind on the premise that some (most?) blogospherians* who read these posts 1 – probably aren’t from the U.S. and 2 - aren’t old enough to remember the sensational 1997 TV mini series “Roots” that made LaVar Burton famous and Alex Haley rich.

Just like Intel squeezing 47 Million transistors into one Intel Atom processor, we sent just one man to the White House to represent our 84,000 employees being honored today for Intel’s commitment to volunteerism. http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/04/20080429-5.wm.v.html
Paul Otellini — our CEO and driving force behind our One Million Hour commitment in honor of our 40th birthday year — accepted the President’s Volunteer Service Award in a National Volunteer Week ceremony celebrating the American spirit of volunteerism supported by the Freedom Corps.

Wasn’t the headline you were expecting was it? Was the farthest thing from my mind as well as I set out on a week and a half in Asia. I typically go to Asia a couple of times a year to visit our manufacturing operations and meet with colleagues and government officials. In my 13 years at Intel, I had never visited our India operations, largely because it is a series of office buildings and there is not much to do from an environmental standpoint, or so I thought.

“What has your company done to pave the path toward going green?”
“How have your actions helped the greater community?”
“How has going green saved you money, jobs and improved lives?”
These are 3 questions I’ve been asked to answer at an event the Congresswoman is holding at the Tech Museum of Innovation in Silicon Valley Monday morning. Several other companies will also be participating – Google, Sun Microsystems, Applied Materials, Echelon, Adobe, Xilinx as well as the City of San Jose and the County of Santa Clara, CA.

We don’t get too many comments to most of our posts, but I hope this one is a little different. I’m doing some personal “mapping” of the future and considering we have about 10K CSR stakeholders poking around this blog every month, I thought the readers might have some great input into a couple of questions.

How many Earth Day blogs will there be? For me, this intuitively seems one of the worst days to be blogging considering the sheer number of posts with “Earth Day” in the title. However, considering everything going on, I’d be remiss if I didn’t try to describe just a few things we have in the works.

For those of us in this business, socially responsible investing has been on our radar screen for more than a decade, but it was still nice to see to see The Today Show feature the concept this morning.

I’ve been working from home today, enjoying the chance to watch the buds swell, the birds flirt and the daffodils bob in the breeze. Of course this is April in Oregon, so this was sometimes highlighted by a “sun break” (a weather term perhaps unique to Oregon) but more often glimpsed through a quick shower!
Appropriate to this season of fresh and hopeful beginnings, we just finished selecting 18 schools as finalists in the Intel Schools of Distinction competition. These schools have demonstrated excellence in science and math education at the elementary, middle and high school levels. A couple of them were magnet schools, one a charter school and one a private Catholic school. The rest were public schools, and they are scattered all across the U.S. in cities, suburbs and rural areas.

I’ve seen this question quite a bit lately in all sorts of trade and business press. While I suppose it makes an interesting headline to some, the question makes absolutely no sense to me. It might be fair to ask if a certain business, product line or initiative would be hurt by a recession – but the WAY you conduct business doesn’t stop in a period of uncertainty.

This year’s Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship (BCCCC) Conference just wrapped up this week. It was held in Boston this year, but they try to jump coasts each year. Next year it’s in San Francisco.

I have a certain perspective of Corporate Responsibility at the “corporate” level. But, I also have a perspective of CSR (yes, there is a notable “S”) at the intersection of Intel and the communities in which we operate. There are some similarities, but I think there are even more differences.

Intel’s Developer Forum (IDF) is an event that is held a couple of times a year in different geographies. 
These are big events with thousands of industry partners and lots of press. We make several product announcements over the course of the event that get picked up in the press. The Spring event is currently being held in Shanghai.
