Climate change
TI and the U.S. semiconductor industry are working proactively to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and are committed to global business sustainability.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the semiconductor industry emits an estimated 0.14 percent of the total estimated CO2e emissions (carbon dioxide equivalent, a unit of measurement for greenhouse gas emissions) of all reporting entities, based on 2007 data. Although emissions from semiconductor manufacturing are not as significant as the quantities generated by other industrial manufacturers, TI invests substantial sums of dollars and employs numerous mitigation strategies to reduce the emissions we do contribute.
Our environmental policy and principles guide the company's effort to operate sustainably, from producing conscientiously designed products to meeting and exceeding international environmental regulatory requirements. We also participate in a voluntary perfluorocarbon (PFC) reduction program, proactively reduce energy use, replace or more efficiently use certain chemicals, and encourage clean transportation methods.
Our robust programs work to reduce major contributions to climate change, and we dedicate teams to manage and measure our success. We also leverage external expertise and share our knowledge with government and industry entities, taking seriously our responsibility to help ensure a healthy planet.
