The TI Ethics Director is commissioned to ensure that all of the company guidelines remain aligned with ethical standards. The Director's reporting chain is through an oversight group, the TI Ethics Committee, which reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The TI Ethics Director is also responsible for updating the TI Ethics Committee, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, and the president and CEO on a regular basis.

The TI Ethics Committee was established in 1987 concurrently with the TI Ethics Office and consists of five high-level TI managers. This committee is chartered to oversee the activities of the TI Ethics Office, review and approve ethics-related policies, procedures and primary publications, monitor compliance to laws and regulations as well as ethical practices, review any major ethical issues that may arise from time to time and approve appropriate corrective actions.
