4 We work to ensure that working conditions throughout our supply chain are safe, and that everyone involved in delivering AMD products from the design lab to the manufacturing line is treated with dignity and respect. We nurture an inclusive work environment where employees bring their unique perspectives and passions to work every day.

5 We are committed to operations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and electricity use. We focus on developing energyefficient processors, and our 2020 climate goals are verified by the Science Based Targets initiative. We contribute to our local communities through the time and talent of our workforce in company-sponsored volunteer events.

6 We believe that immersive and instinctive computing will transform our lives, and we are inspired by how digital technology has improved our world. From helping students learn to creating innovative new therapies for veterans to mapping the universe we live in AMD technology powering the systems that are opening new doors to a better world.

7 CORE ISSUES Corporate responsibility issue prioritization helps us refine our strategic focus and resource allocation, build a foundation for a forward-looking strategy, and communicate effectively with key stakeholders. DATA PRIVACY & SECURITY Cybersecurity is a top priority at AMD. This focus extends across all tiers and work groups within our company including policies that govern our corporate operations, practices that help keep our intellectual property and the information we hold safe, and product innovations that support strong protections for our customers. ROLE OF IT IN SOCIETY We believe that our technology should promote and enable a more equitable, safe, and healthy world. At the same time, we make conscious efforts to prevent or minimize negative impacts from the manufacturing or use of our products. ENERGY EFFICIENCY & CLIMATE CHANGE Our climate goals for the year 2020 span AMD s business operations and have been verified by the Science Based Targets initiative. We are steadfast in our goals for environmental stewardship whether sourcing renewable energy for our offices, demonstrating world-class manufacturing with wafer suppliers, or efficiently powering millions of AMD-equipped devices. HUMAN RIGHTS & LABOR ISSUES We strive to ensure that our materials are sourced ethically and that our supply chain is managed responsibly. Our goal is to deliver high-quality products while ensuring working conditions throughout our supply chain are safe and workers are treated with dignity and respect.

8 Studies show technology increases student engagement and makes certain tasks easier. Proving that learning improves with such tools, on the other hand, is more difficult. However, there is potential in VR technology due to its immersive, 3D nature with the combination of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning models to better engage students and help them to retain key concepts. To test this theory, AMD and Hunters Lane High School in Nashville, Tennessee, launched a six-week experiment to determine student and teacher perceptions of VR-based learning and evaluate the potential for integrating VR effectively into the classroom. Our preliminary information indicates students have better retention of the information because instead of learning it one dimensionally, they experience the content on multiple levels, said Dr. Susan Kessler, Hunters Lane principal. The more experience-based content you have, the more likely kids are going to feel connected to it. STUDENT ENGAGEMENT THROUGH VIRTUAL REALITY Perhaps most importantly, the VR experiment made students at Hunters Lane High School curious, and that can go a long way in helping develop student agency. Virtual reality is going to change everything for them, predicted Todd Duncan, Hunters Lane librarian. It s going to get them excited and engaged. Students are going to want to come to classes where VR is utilized as part of the lesson, and teachers can use it in just about every subject. What you can do with VR is truly limitless.

9 Founded in 1999, UNETE is the largest organization in Mexico supporting public education (K 12) by introducing technology to classrooms nationwide. Their non-profit mission is to improve the quality and equity of education by developing digital skills. As UNETE CEO Alejandro Almazán Zimerman explains, The schools in Mexico are completely underserved. Currently there are more than 30,000 schools that do not have access to technology. DIGITAL INCLUSION ACROSS MEXICO AMD products offer a very good cost-benefit relationship. They offer proper performance for our educational aims, and the affordable cost allows us to reach more children. What AMD allows us, in a nutshell, is to do more with less, says José Rubén Martínez, UNETE s CTO and COO. Since its founding, UNETE has purchased more than 30,000 AMD-based products. Each school year, more than 2.6 million students and over 100,000 teachers benefit from UNETE support. To date, the organization has equipped more than 8,500 schools with computers, servers, and other technological resources across all of Mexico s 32 states with a special focus on regions where poverty and marginalization rates are highest. Zimerman emphasized, The important thing is that those computers are not just thrown into the classroom with the expectation of a magical effect. There is a lot of work behind the scenes that we have been improving upon school year after school year. We feel very fortunate to be working with AMD in this pursuit.

15 MARKHAM AMD CANADA AMD has nearly 50 years of technology innovation and leadership and this is just the start. AMD Canada s deep roots in Markham, Ontario, Canada have resulted in an 1,800-plus workforce in Markham that is without peer in Canada for the design and development of leading-edge semiconductors. Recently, AMD Canada s deep talent pool software and hardware architects, business managers, engineers, and students have been critically involved in the development of some truly revolutionary products Ryzen processors, Radeon graphics, and EPYC processors. These products are at the heart of many laptops, desktops, workstations, servers, and game consoles, and enable everything from high performance computing, big data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning (AI & ML) to electronic gaming and virtual reality/augmented reality (AR/VR) systems. Andrej Zdravkovic Corp. VP, Software and AMD Canada Site Lead Our Markham site continues to be a site of innovation and growth within AMD. Over the past few years, AMD Canada has grown significantly. The reason for this growth is obvious the culture, teamwork and creativity of our workforce competes and succeeds on every level against competitors from around the world. Moreover, AMD Canada continues to receive tremendous support from the City of Markham and the Province of Ontario. This support and a continued focus on developing the next generation of engineering talent in Canada are just two of the many reasons that make AMD Canada s Markham site so successful. Kevin O Neil Corp. VP, Legal and AMD Canada Managing Director

16 MARKHAM The innovative and dedicated engineers at AMD Canada s Markham campus have allowed us to be at the forefront of semiconductor technology for more than 25 years. We re investing millions of dollars here at AMD Canada and with industry consortiums to bring together the necessary technologies to enable the next wave of high-performance and immersive computing. These investments by AMD help the continued development in a wide variety of fields autonomous vehicles, augmented and virtual reality, machine learning, and artificial intelligence while continuing to power the ubiquitous computing that is at the centre of the lives of our fellow Canadians. ABOUT AMD CANADA The team in Markham has been key in bringing to market our new graphics architecture codenamed Vega. This new architecture has been employed in our consumer graphics products AMD Radeon RX Vega processors and in the Radeon Instinct MI25 the world s fastest training accelerator for Machine Intelligence and Deep Learning 1. This new graphics architecture will enable companies here in Canada and abroad to power new applications, develop new pharmaceuticals and treatments, analyze the huge amounts of data being created every day, and to be the foundations for the virtual and augmented experiences that have only just recently moved from laboratory to widespread availability. 1. Measurements conducted by AMD Performance Labs as of June 2, 2017 on the Radeon Instinct MI25 Vega architecture based accelerator. Please visit for full substantiation.
