Letter from our CEO

Richard K. Templeton As we introduce our fifth annual corporate citizenship report, I am proud of our company’s performance and progress. This is a milestone during an exciting period of expansion and focus on sustainability.

In 2010, Texas Instruments delivered record profit and opened three new manufacturing sites around the globe while substantially growing our business. We are expanding responsibly by considering the needs of our employees and communities, conserving resources, and limiting our impact on the environment. Among our many successes, we:
  • Opened Kilby Labs India to foster innovations in energy efficiency, bio-electronics and life sciences;
  • Reduce water required per chip by 45 percent; and
  • Recycled 95 percent of our waste;
  • Were named to Working Mother Magazine’s Hall of Fame for inclusion on the "100 Best Companies for Working Mothers" list for the 15th consecutive year; and
  • Granted $28.2 million in cash and in-kind donations to support education, cultural and community initiatives.
Our continued improvements in operations will be guided by multi-year sustainability goals that we have set and reported for the first time. Over the next five years, we aim to design, market and manufacture our products to:
  • Reduce energy required per chip by 45 percent;
  • Reduce purchased water required per chip by 45 percent; and
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions per chip by 30 percent.
Our journey toward sustainability is well under way, and our commitment to build a better future will continue.

We invite you to read more about our progress and share your thoughts.

Chairman, president and chief executive officer
