Intel discloses comprehensively but emissions are rising sharply: Scope 1 jumped 31% year-on-year, Scope 3 up 22% since 2019. The company refuses SBTi validation, sets only 10% absolute cuts by 2030, and lobbies against environmental review via the SIA. Water stewardship and renewable energy are genuine strengths; hazardous waste and nature impacts remain unquantified.
