Intel is now certified as Carbon Neutral

September 5, 2018 by Staff News Writer

Recently, Intel Costa Rica managed to become certified as a Carbon Neutral company, after implementing a series of measures at its facilities in San Antonio de Belén. This is due to the technology used, which has achieved a more efficient use of electricity and water without affecting the employees of the company.

In order to achieve this certification, Intel started a process a year ago, and after measuring its carbon footprint, the company implemented mitigation measures, focused on improvements in energy efficiency (use of electricity and water) and acquisition of CERs (Certified Emission Reductions).

Intel has a long history of commitment to the protection of natural resources, we strive continuously to improve our operations and minimize the impact on the environment. We work to increase energy efficiency, design efficient buildings, and preserve resources in all our operations, which is why receiving the carbon neutrality certification is a clear sign of this commitment,”

said Timothy Scott, Manager of Government Affairs and Public Relations for Intel Costa Rica.

The facility’s lighting system works only during office hours and automatically shuts down when the hours are up. If a person needs to stay longer, you must activate a button that turns on the lights for four hours in specific spaces and that can be turned off before that time.
