The Journey to Sustainability
AMD has long been a leader in sustainable technology. They believe it’s their duty to help protect the planet by providing companies with energy-saving solutions and reducing their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. And they’ve built a proven track record with well over 25 years of public reporting to back up their mission. Now, SCC and AMD have partnered to deliver the incredible range of AMD Ryzen™ products whilst prioritising the sustainability of their technology.
Offering solutions for sustainability is one thing, but many businesses want to know exactly how this is achieved. AMD strives to attain sustainability across the business by focusing on 3 core missions:
1) Minimising Environmental Impacts
This applies throughout AMD’s operations and supply chain. They consistently make a conscious effort to source renewable energy, harvest rainwater, recycle waste, and even ensure their employees are part of their Go Green Program.
2) Collaborating to Achieve Innovation
AMD recognises that improving technology is only a small percentage of what’s needed to achieve a more sustainable future. Collaborating with other parties to tackle environmental challenges helps to advance scientific research in ways that AMD cannot alone.
3) Advancing Sustainability Performance
Customers choose AMD to help them achieve their own sustainability goals. And they’ve already made their mark – for example, AMD processors reduced DBS’ data centre footprint by 25%. This is only a fraction of the impact AMD has made on environmental sustainability and the future promises many more success stories.
