Intel’s Ocotillo Campus Honored for Water Stewardship

The Arizona site earned Platinum certification from the Alliance for Water Stewardship. Intel’s Ocotillo campus in Arizona earned Platinum level certification from the Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS). Intel is the first semiconductor company in the United States to be AWS Certified and the second company in the country to earn the Platinum Certification, the highest level under this program. AWS is the only certification standard that focuses exclusively on water stewardship.

“Water is one of the most important ingredients in the semiconductor manufacturing process and a critical natural resource for the communities where we operate. That’s why Intel has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in innovative water conservation efforts, resulting in more than 3.3 billion gallons of water conserved in our Ocotillo operations in 2022. We are proud to have achieved one of the highest scored ever for AWS’ Platinum Level Certification across all regions and all industry sectors.” Keyvan Esfarjani, executive vice president, chief global operations officer and general manager of Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Operations at Intel Corporation

Intel has been manufacturing in Arizona for more than 40 years, and minimizing its environmental footprint is a longstanding priority. In addition to investing in water conservation in its operations, Intel also collaborates on water initiatives within the community. This has enabled the Arizona site to return and restore more than 100% of its Arizona freshwater use to the community and local watersheds, achieving net positive water in 2021 and 2022.

At the Ocotillo campus, Intel’s 12-acre on-site water reclamation facility can treat up to 9.1 million gallons of water each day. The facility enables Intel to reuse water within its on-site systems.
