Intel Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer Craig R. Barrett to Receive National Safety Council*s Green Cross for Safety Medal

Itasca, Il. - The National Safety Council (NSC) has selected Dr. Craig R. Barrett, president and chief executive officer of Intel Corporation, to receive the Council*s 2001 Green Cross for Safety Medal for his exemplary commitment to workplace safety and corporate citizenship.

*The National Safety Council is extremely pleased and excited to honor Craig Barrett with our Green Cross for Safety Medal,* said Alan C. McMillan, the NSC*s president and chief executive officer. *Dr. Barrett*s business operating philosophy represents the kind of top-level commitment to worker safety and health, environmental stewardship, and community service that every company would do well to emulate.* Intel Corporation, headquartered in Santa Clara, California, is a world leader in creating and maintaining a company-wide safety culture. *Intel is committed to providing a safe and healthful workplace for its employees, contractors and communities,* McMillan said. *This philosophy has been part of Intel's Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Policy for more than a decade. The NSC believes all companies should adopt similar policies as part of an overall commitment to making safety a core value within the organization.*

*At Intel,* Barrett said, *we pursue environmental, health and safety (EHS) performance the same way we pursue performance in the marketplace. We have (more)

worked to become global leaders in EHS. This commitment is integrated throughout the corporation from our executives to every employee. Our employees and our contractors have worked together to achieve tremendous results in recent years.* In 1993, Intel*s EHS program was performing at industry-average levels. Responding to a challenge from Dr. Barrett and other company leaders, by 1998, the company had become the world leader in employee and contractor safety performance in the semiconductor industry. Performance improvements achieved between 1996 and 2000 translate into the avoidance of more than 2,000 recordable injuries. Intel*s benchmarked employee health and safety programs have shown similar improvements. Since 1998, injury rates have decreased a full 43 percent; since 1994, those rates have decreased by 80 percent. Recordable injuries and illnesses have decreased an average of 30 percent each of the last four years. Intel achieved a worldwide injury rate of 0.27 injuries/illnesses per 100 employees in 2000 as measured by U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration recordability standards. The cross industry rate in the United States is 6.7 injuries/illnesses per 100 employees per year (1998 data, the latest available). In October 2000, Intel's Malaysia sites were recognized for surpassing eight million worker-hours without a recordable or lost-day injury.

Business Ethics, a publication that examines the role of social responsibility in business, named Intel third among the top ten corporate citizens in 2000. *Intel Corporation rightly prides itself on its EHS record in the semiconductor industry and in industry generally,* McMillan said, *and it could not have achieved that distinction without the personal and consistent commitment of its CEO, Craig Barrett. In addition, Intel has demonstrated outstanding corporate responsibility through its commitment to developing environmentally friendly products and processes and being an environmentally

responsible member of the communities in which it is located.*

According to the company, Intel continues to expand its knowledge and understanding of the effects of its operations on safety, health and the environment and to share the knowledge it gains with its host communities, its employees, customers, suppliers, the scientific community, government and industry.

The Green Cross for Safety Medal, a large bronze medallion embossed with the National Safety Council*s logo, will be presented to Dr. Barrett at the Council*s annual fundraising dinner on June 25, 2001, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.

Dr. Barrett joined Intel Corporation in 1974 as a technology development manager. He was named a vice president of the corporation in 1984, promoted to senior vice president in 1987, and to executive vice president in 1990. Dr. Barrett was elected to Intel Corporation*s Board of Directors in 1992 and was named the company*s chief operating officer in 1993. He became Intel*s fourth president in May 1997, and chief executive officer in 1998.

Dr. Barrett attended Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, from 1957 to 1964, and received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Materials Science, also from Stanford. After graduation, he joined Stanford*s faculty in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and remained through 1974, rising to the rank of associate professor. Dr. Barrett was a Fulbright Fellow at Danish Technical University in Denmark in 1972 and a NATO Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Physical Laboratory in England from 1964 to 1965.
