Intel was selected as one of Computerworld's Top Green-IT vendors for 2011. Computerworld identified organizations that are implementing IT best practices to reduce energy consumption in IT equipment and are using technology to conserve energy and lower carbon emissions.

Seventy organizations participated. Computerworld developed a set of criteria, with the help of green-IT industry experts. Based on the criteria and weighting scheme, the top 12 Green-IT Users and top 12 Green-IT Vendors were chosen.
