< Home / About CEWG
Established in 2004, the Community Environmental Working Group (CEWG) advocates continuous environmental improvements by Intel New Mexico, with a focus on reducing Intel’s chemical emissions. The Group also promotes constructive dialogue on all issues related to its mission.
The Group has no formal control over Intel. Therefore the improvements made come by building the breadth and depth of information exchanged and the weight of evidence on all issues related to its mission.
