Practices of Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting for Semiconductor and Chip Manufacturing Industry – A Multicriterial Analysis on INTEL and AMD

The current research paper contains the multicriterial analysis of the Corporate Social Responsibility Reports in the semiconductor and chip manufacturing industry for Intel Corp. and AMD Inc. In the interest of a fair analysis, we chose a multicriterial analysis with a structure consisting of data points found in the CSR reports of both companies. The first part of our paper servers an introductory purpose, in which we described the reasoning behind choosing CSR reporting as a theme for our research paper as well as why we chose Intel and AMD as a case study. Furthermore, we have a brief description of the two companies, with similarities and key differences for any readers that are not familiar with the business affairs of Intel and AMD. Subsequently, we have the literature review, and the research methodology with the multicriterial analysis for the CSR reporting at Intel and AMD, and their financial performance. We displayed the same indicators for both companies, focusing on the quantifiable data, as well as the clarity and displaying of the information within the report. Finally, we presented a summary of our findings concerning the financial commitments and the way information was displayed within the reports, as well as establishing future research opportunities.
