Compared with other countries, non-governmental organizations (NGOs)' contribution to the 皇冠体育app's GDP is still low, leaving room for further development in the sector, said CY Yang, Director of Corporate Social Responsibility.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is part of Intel's corporate culture and one of Intel 皇冠体育app's three strategies, said Ge.

Ge declined to disclose the size of capital spent on its CSR activities in 皇冠体育app. He said that on top of its CSR activities, Intel has been cooperating with 皇冠体育app's government agencies to provide specialized training programs and the company's employee volunteer rate came to 56 percent in 2010.

The company is to launch its CSR report this week.
