AMD faced the challenge of managing a diverse and complex portfolio of properties and facilities while aiming to reduce its carbon footprint. With 39 facilities worldwide totaling over 2 million square feet and supporting over 10,000 employees, AMD needed a robust system to track and manage environmental inputs and outputs, including electricity and water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and refrigerant tracking. The company also aimed to achieve rigorous sustainability and compliance goals, such as 25% renewable energy use and a 20% absolute greenhouse gas reduction by 2020. Additionally, AMD required a system that could integrate seamlessly with its existing space and employee data, provide global site access, and offer comprehensive reporting capabilities.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) is a Fortune 500 company specializing in the manufacture of computer processors, including microprocessors, graphic processors, and other semiconductor-based components for both consumers and businesses. AMD's products are widely used in servers, workstations, mobile devices, televisions, game consoles, and other embedded systems. The company operates 39 facilities worldwide, covering more than 2 million square feet and employing over 10,000 people. AMD is committed to corporate responsibility and sustainability, with a long history of setting and meeting environmental health and safety goals. The company has been reporting on over 250 environmental health and safety data points and aims to achieve significant reductions in its carbon footprint.

To address its sustainability and facilities management challenges, AMD implemented a suite of ARCHIBUS applications. Initially, the company deployed ARCHIBUS Building Operations, Space, and Lease Management applications. Over time, AMD expanded its use of ARCHIBUS to include the Service Desk, Preventive Maintenance, and Space Management applications. The company also integrated the ARCHIBUS Mobile Framework and Asset Management into its operations. To further its environmental goals, AMD adopted the ARCHIBUS Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) application, which enables managers to associate incidents with locations, equipment, and personnel, and link employee training records and medical monitoring to these incidents. This application is crucial for documenting compliance with internal standards and external regulatory requirements. Additionally, AMD implemented ARCHIBUS Energy Management and Green Building applications to aggregate, evaluate, and optimize energy and utility spending, reduce unnecessary consumption, and manage the environmental sustainability certification process. The ARCHIBUS Hazardous Materials application was also deployed to meet worker safety requirements, providing instant updates and access to SDS information, and integrating materials inventories with space and occupancy data.

• AMD achieved a comprehensive view of its facilities and management processes through the deployment of various ARCHIBUS applications.
• The company was able to track and report on over 250 environmental health and safety data points, enhancing its ability to meet sustainability goals.
• The integration of ARCHIBUS applications provided seamless access to global site data, improving overall facilities management and compliance.

• Achieved 25% renewable energy use by 2020.
• Reduced absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020.
