 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Texas Instruments
editEnvironmental, social, and governance impacts
editOver the years, TI has taken action to reduce their climate footprint. TI has made notable progress in consumer energy efficiency with its microcontroller technology contributing to a 95% efficiency rating on power consumption for certain products[1]. They have recently accepted the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTI) goals with a new 50% emissions reduction goal by 2035 when benchmarked against a baseline of 2015[2]. TI also aims to go 100% renewable in global operations energy by the year 2030[3]. Critics of TI's sustainability goals suggest a more comprehensive plan with a more environmentally friendly supply to reduce the company’s contributions towards climate change[4].
In 2024, shareholders including Maureen Obrien and the Vermont Pension Investment Commission filed a climate-related proposal at Texas Instruments through the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility[5]. The filing argued that TI's existing emissions goal of reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2025 did not align with the model outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for limiting global warming to 1.5°C under the Paris Agreement[6]. The shareholders stated that TI had not yet adopted near and long-term science-based targets or Scope 3 reduction goals, unlike its industry peers[7]. The resolution asked Texas Instruments to establish near and long-term emission reduction targets and to outline a plan explaining how these targets would be achieved[8].
