Values and ethics of TI
- We exercise the basic virtues of respect, dignity, kindness, courtesy and manners in all work relationships.
- We recognize and avoid behaviors that others may find offensive, including the manner in which we speak and relate to one another and the materials we bring into the workplace, both printed and electronically.
- We respect the right and obligation of every TIer to resolve concerns relating to ethics questions without retribution and retaliation.
- We give all TIers the same opportunity to have their questions, issues and situations fairly considered, while understanding that being treated fairly does not always mean that we will all be treated the same.
- We trust one another to use sound judgment in our use of TI business and information systems.
- We understand that even though TI has the obligation to monitor its business information systems activity, we will respect privacy by prohibiting random searches of individual TIers' communications.
- We recognize that conduct socially and professionally acceptable in one culture and country may be viewed differently in another.
"One of TI's greatest strengths is its values and ethics. We had some early leaders who set those values as the standard for how they lived their lives. And it is important that TI grew that way. It's something that we don't want to lose. At the same time, we must move more rapidly. But we don't want to confuse that with the fact that we're ethical and we're moral. We're very responsible, and we live up to what we say."
– Tom Engibous
Former chairman, president and chief executive officer, Texas Instruments – 1997
