2011 performance

Results | Looking ahead

Results

Throughout the year, we worked to further engage, educate and inspire employees to help TI progress its sustainability journey. This included the launch of a global, year-long communications campaign to educate employees on what sustainability is, what it means to the company, what we intend to achieve, and how each individual can help TI become a more sustainable company. The campaign included:
  • Animated videos.
  • Articles on sustainable goals, educational opportunities, performance recognition and calls for involvement.
  • An online forum through TI's intranet, Infolink, for employees to ask questions, make suggestions and pledge how they will behave more sustainably at work and home.
Other activities that helped progress sustainability at TI included:
  • Continued work toward our five-year energy, water and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per-chip reduction goals. Although our performance declined in each of the areas due to the ramp up of new facilities and a decline in production (which impacts efficiency), we made strides in identifying best practices and working to implement them at TI sites globally.
  • Evaluating the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition's (EICC) code of conduct, which provides guidance in five critical areas of corporate performance:
    • Labor.
    • Health and safety.
    • Environment.
    • Management system.
    • Ethics.

Looking ahead

In 2012, TI plans to:
  • Formally adopt the EICC code of conduct.
  • Continue communications efforts to engage and encourage employees to help TI achieve its sustainability goals.
  • Invest in processes that further reduce energy, water and GHG emissions and associated costs.
