Advancing Corporate Responsibility: A Message From Dr. Lisa Su, AMD Chair and CEO
At AMD, we push the limits of high-performance and adaptive computing to solve the world’s most important challenges. Our technology touches the lives of billions of people around the world, playing a vital role accelerating scientific research, exploring deep space, keeping drivers safe on the road and powering businesses. But it’s not enough to deliver next-generation experiences. At AMD, we are committed to doing so responsibly, with integrity and in a way that fundamentally aligns with our values and inclusive culture.
Our 28th annual report is the first since Xilinx and Pensando joined AMD to create a larger company with an expanded team and a broader set of products — all of which helped us grow annual revenue 44 percent to a record US$23.6 billion in 2022. Thanks to our customers, partners, suppliers and employees, I am proud to say we also made significant progress in 2022 on our focus areas, spanning digital impact, environmental sustainability, supply chain responsibility and diversity, belonging and inclusion.
Our digital impact initiatives, such as the AMD University program, cloud-based grants and on-site hardware donations, put AMD technology in the hands of those solving pressing challenges in healthcare, climate, education and beyond. We introduced new products in support of our goal to deliver a 30x increase in energy efficiency by 2025 for AI-training and high-performance computing applications. Our focus on energy–efficient computing is also gaining momentum, with seven of the world’s top 10 most energy efficient supercomputers powered by AMD ranked on the June 2023 Green500 list.
These achievements reflect our differentiated IP portfolio, strong collaboration across our value chain and expanded partnerships. As one of the world’s largest fabless semiconductor companies, we work with a carefully chosen network of suppliers to address collective needs throughout the value chain, from human rights risks to environmental impacts, including greenhouse gas emissions and water usage. In 2022, we made progress toward our goals for supplier capacity-building and audits. And we again received the CDP Supplier Engagement Leadership recognition for addressing climate risks in the supply chain, which is reserved for the top 8% of reporting companies.
At AMD, our true strength lies in our people. I am excited to report that 92% of our employees say they are proud to work for AMD. We remain committed to pursuing diversity, belonging and inclusion in our workforce, given its tangible value to innovation and company performance; in 2022 we were recognized as a member of the 2022 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index for the fourth consecutive year. To amplify the good work of our employees around the world, in 2022 we also launched a year-round employee matching program, which contributed to the total US$11.6 million in cash and technology that AMD, AMD Foundation and our employees donated to non-profit organizations, universities and research institutes.
You can read more about our progress and priorities throughout this report. While we have accomplished so much in recent years, I am even more excited about what AMD, together with our partners, can accomplish moving forward.

AMD Chair and Chief Executive Officer
