Corporate Citizenship Report

Diversity and inclusion

Diversity of thought promotes creativity and is essential to innovation. For TI, an inclusive environment provides an atmosphere where a globally diverse workforce and the contributions of people of different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives can be recognized and valued. It is where employees can feel that there are no artificial barriers to their success and where all employees worldwide can contribute.

Our inclusion journey began more than 20 years ago, when we recognized that a diverse, empowered workforce would help us achieve a sustained competitive business advantage through variations in work styles, thoughts and ideas. These inclusive values, TI’s equal employment opportunity policy and executive commitment continue to be the foundation of our diverse and successful workforce today.

"At TI, we are committed to building a great company customers can count on – one where employees aspire to achieve the highest possible standards with regard to financial performance, ethical behavior, business execution and innovation. An inclusive environment is essential to these standards, where diversity thrives and every employee, no matter where they are and what job they hold, is fully engaged in TI's business success. I'm challenging myself and every TI employee to help make an inclusive environment a global reality at TI."
