Our approach to environmental stewardship is interdisciplinary and comprehensive. We have long aspired to the goal of “zero wasted resources,” which means we continually strive to reduce greenhouse gases and other air emissions, energy consumption, water use and waste, while increasing resource conservation and efficiency in all aspects of our operations.
Our environmental, safety and health (ESH) policy and principles guide our efforts to operate sustainably, from
manufacturing conscientiously designed products to efficient product distribution, and from responsibly sourcing materials to maintaining compliance with environmental regulatory requirements.
Each TI site maintains an ESH management system that is both Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001- and International Standardization Organization (ISO) 14001- compliant. The OHSAS and ISO are internationally recognized certification bodies that establish ESH management criteria. All manufacturing sites will be certified in OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 in 2010.
It is the responsibility of every employee to understand and support TI’s ESH policy and principles. Employees globally receive ESH training on TI’s programs to ensure their safety and health and contribution to environmental stewardship. Employees receive additional relevant training and communications based on their role and working environment. TI’s ESH activities and performance are directed and overseen by the company’s ESH management team, including the vice president of worldwide facilities.
In 2009, TI sites globally continued to receive awards for outstanding environmental performance. Among various recognitions, TI was included on Newsweek magazine’s Green Ranking of America’s 500 largest corporations, ranked 23rd overall.
