TI's 2012 Annual Report and Citizenship Report provide a comprehensive overview of the company's economic, environmental and social performance for fiscal year 2012. There are, however, a few GRI indicators that have not been or cannot be addressed. These are noted in TI's GRI index, including, where applicable, explanations for the omission of data. |
