AMD Green
Our commitment to environmental stewardship


 

AMD Green is our integrated environmental, health and safety stewardship commitment that encompasses AMD products, operations and employees. It is our commitment to customers, partners, communities and employees to pursue performance-per-watt leadership, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility in our products and operations.


This dedication to environmental stewardship influences our products, operations, and employees—in collaboration with partners around the world.

  • Products: Designing processors and chipsets that use less power and generate less heat for a smaller environmental footprint, yet provide stellar performance per watt.

  • Operations: Designing and operating our global facilities as environmental stewards, underscored by our recent achievement of LEED Gold certification for our new Austin, Texas (USA) campus and by our AMD facility in Suzhou, China’s 2008 recognition as an Environmentally Friendly Enterprise by the Suzhou Industrial Park Environmental Protection Bureau.

  • Employees: Maintaining a safe and healthful work environment that promotes employee well-being.

AMD's Global Climate Protection Plan, published annually since 2001, demonstrates our dedication to reducing our impact. We have reduced our greenhouse gas emissions, normalized for production, by more than 50% from 2002 to 2006 with plans for an additional 33% reduction by 2010 against a baseline of 2006.

AMD actively participates in industry-wide efforts to promote and improve responsible EHS management and policy development.

At AMD, we are proud of our EHS programs and the comprehensive set of standards for our sites worldwide.
