Intel's EHS risk management system consists of six core elements:

1. Protecting our people.
2. Protecting our communities.
3. Reducing our environmental footprint.
4. Identifying potential EHS issues early and designing them out.
5. Aligning products and manufacturing processes to external trends.
6. Continuous improvement.

Such an approach has proven successful for more than a decade. As the company has experienced significant growth, injury rates have fallen, our communities have been improved, our environmental footprint has been reduced, and EHS risks have been minimized in our products and manufacturing processes. Four very important assets have been protected: Intel employees, communities in which Intel operates, Intel's reputation as a good corporate citizen, and Intel's fixed assets. We believe that equals success.
