SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(Business Wire)--Intel Corporation is at the top of the Corporate Responsibility
Officer (CRO) Magazine's Best Corporate Citizen list for technology
hardware companies. Also, Dave Stangis, director of corporate
responsibility, Intel, was named to Ethisphere Magazine's 100 Most
Influential People in Business Ethics list.

   "Corporate responsibility is in our DNA at Intel. It's how we
conduct our business," said Dave Stangis, Intel director of corporate
responsibility. "We are honored to be recognized by people that make a
business of defining benchmarks in CSR. The fact that our values of
respecting individuals, communities and the planet are recognized in
this way is a testament to the good work of Intel employees
worldwide."

   "We saw this exercise as a valuable way to decipher companies'
performance on things like governance and sustainability issues,
especially when looking at how they did when measured against the
companies they duke it out with in the marketplace," said CRO
Editor-In-Chief Dennis Schaal. Intel shared first place on the list
with Cisco. For more about the CRO list, visit www.thecro.com.

influential individuals were indexed against the following nine
categories: business leadership, corporate culture, design and
sustainability, government and regulatory, investment and research,
legal and governance, media and whistleblowers, non-governmental
organizations (NGO), and thought leadership, The complete list of the
