CR Magazine published their 2019 100 Best Corporate Citizens list and Intel was ranked No. 2, up from their No. 4 ranking in 2018. This year is the 20th anniversary of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens list, which recognizes the standout environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance of public companies across the United States. Intel is one of very few companies that have been included on this list since its inception, demonstrating its consistency in providing excellence in corporate responsibility and sustainability.

In late September 2017, Hurricane Maria made a direct hit on Puerto Rico, with winds of 155 miles per hour and as much as 30 inches of rain in a single day in some locations. Much of the island’s infrastructure was completely destroyed – including their electricity grid and their communications infrastructure. Three months later, five Intel employees traveled to the Mayagüez region of the island to assess hurricane damage at the local schools.

Intel was once again honored by Forbes as one of the 2019 World’s Most Reputable Companies for its efforts in innovation, governance, citizenship and more. The company was named to the No. 11 spot out of 100, up from No. 15 in 2018.
