Sustainable manufacturing
At TI, we use the term “sustainability” primarily in relation to the operation of our business. We believe responsible, sustainable operations can meet current resource needs without compromising the needs of future generations.
We work toward sustainable manufacturing by reducing waste and inefficiency in operations, including our manufacturing facilities, office buildings and distribution activities. We also work to preserve the rights and working conditions of our employees, including the safety and health of individuals and neighboring communities.
We have established sustainability goals to guide our efforts and continually improve our performance. All employees are expected to help TI achieve its sustainability goals. Groups that manage these efforts include Quality; Procurement and Logistics; and Worldwide Facilities, including the Environmental, Safety and Health team.
TI also subscribes to external voluntary programs to help guide the company’s sustainable manufacturing practices, including the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) building standards.
In 2011, TI manufactured billions of integrated circuits (semiconductor chips), which involved using large amounts of water, energy and chemicals. To conserve natural resources, reduce environmental impact, and protect employees, we use benign materials when feasible and incorporate smart conservation, efficiency and recycling practices where we can.
While we outsource the manufacturing of our education technology products, we require suppliers and contactors to comply with applicable laws and regulations, as well as our own standards, to ensure that they are made responsibly
