A new rating of the 360 largest U.S. companies, undertaken by risk analysis company Maplecroft, has cited Texas Instruments as a leader in climate-related innovation and management.

The Maplecroft Climate Innovation Indexes (CIIs) are an extensive study of the USA's largest multinational companies and how they manage and adapt to climate change, with a special focus on innovation. Maplecroft rated each company against more than 100 criteria, including: technological innovation and new working practices to combat climate change impacts; management of climate-related issues; adaption to physical climate-related risks, such as flooding or more extreme weather events throughout the supply chain; and the reduction of GHG emissions.

According to Maplecroft, the CIIs will enable investors to identify the most resilient and innovative companies with the best long-term growth prospects. They do so by highlighting firms that are innovating products, services, processes or partnerships in order to re-shape markets and position themselves to succeed in the future.
