Case Study: Change Management At Intel Corporation

“Developing Strategy for Business Responsibility & Sustainability and its implementation via Change Management at Intel Corporation” The team has chosen Intel Corporation for the project assigned. I have executed the assignment as being in a hypothetical situation wherein I am a sustainability consultant and I have been approached by the Board of Directors of Intel to advise them on their future strategic direction.
I have done focussed research on Intel Corporation, and its internal and external environment, keeping in mind the key recommendations that are to follow in due course. I have used open source extensively along with Intel’s own publications, and sources from governing as well as advisory bodies to understand industry practices

For this research, I have used their website extensively. I have referred to their CSR (Blog CSR, n.d.) Report and Blog to understand their Sustainable Business Practices.
I have used their publications like Business Integrated Approach Report (BIA report, Intel, n.d.) to get information on how these initiatives are also providing benefits to the company and how these spendings are providing returns for them. I have used their (Intel Corporate Responsibility Report, n.d.) And some of the videos (Conflict Free Diamonds, n.d.) Uploaded on their website that talk about Intel’s Initiatives like sourcing Conflict Free Diamonds from Sub Saharan Africa.
I researched about Intel’s external environment by using open source websites. I got a perspective of what Intel was doing in terms of sustainability and what it ought to do more in proportion to its position in the industry.
I referred to Sustainability.com (Blog, n.d.) to gain an overall perspective on the subject.
I referred to UNSDG (UN Sustainable Goals, n.d.) Website to know about the 16 sustainability goals undertaken by the members, and checked against the number of goals Intel was contributing

I covered its product lines and various resources involved in the manufacturing processes where there is scope of material sustainability practices.
Intel is considered to be one of the world’s most innovative companies and has transformed computing and communication through admirable technological innovation.
The total size of the semiconductor industry is $335.8 billion as of last year. Other major players in the Semiconductor industry are Samsung Electronics, Texas Instruments and Qualcomm. A typical semiconductor manufacturer generates a considerably large carbon footprint throughout its supply chain. It uses large volume of Energy viz. electricity, gas and diesel. It has also various other impacts like water pollution and supposed health hazards to its plant workers due to toxic releases, including cancer. This industry also requires use of some Conflict minerals like Tantalum, Tin, and Tungsten etc. Often suppliers to this industry are third world countries, which have known to have engaged in human trafficking, slavery and other human rights violations.
Intel has its manufacturing units across USA, Ireland, Israel and China and testing facilities across many locations like Vietnam and
