Better Health for All

Texas Instruments' core products, semiconductor chips, are components used in various electronic systems

, including medical devices , but the overall net health impact of its principal goods is not quantifiable from the provided evidence. The company's products do not have direct health risks or addiction potential for end-users, nor does it operate in the pharmaceutical or food industries, or conduct clinical trials, making several health-related KPIs not applicable. Texas Instruments allocated 1.5% of its $2.0 billion R&D budget to health improvement , which included a $15 million donation for a biomedical engineering building and a $15 million investment in medical technology research . Additionally, the company launched the 'STEM Behind Health' initiative , a series of free activities to inspire students in STEM careers by exploring health concepts , and the 'TI Codes Contest' , challenging students to design solutions related to health, wellness, or medicine .

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Texas Instruments is a semiconductor company and does not offer lending, deposit, or insurance services to consumers. Consequently, KPIs related to financial products, such as underserved client share, pricing fairness, exploitative fee exposure, inclusion initiatives (loan/insurance book), data accessibility (customer finance data), fair lending compliance, wealth building outcomes (credit/savings), debt burden ratio, geographic inclusion (financial access points), and product simplicity (financial products), are not applicable to its core business model and are scored as 0. The company does have a global profit-sharing program for all eligible employees when the company achieves 10% or more profit from operations

and provides financial guidance and coaching to its employees . It also offers financial literacy lesson plans and free teacher resources for middle and high school courses . However, there is no quantitative data on the percentage of pre-tax profit reinvested in community finance or profit-sharing with underserved communities, nor on the reach or outcomes of its financial literacy programs, preventing a score for these specific KPIs.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

In 2024, Texas Instruments reported a Recordable Case Rate (TRIR) of 0.16 cases per 200,000 hours, with zero work-related fatalities and 4 high-consequence injuries.

The company demonstrated strong pay equity in 2024, with U.S. women earning $1.002 for every $1.000 men earned, U.S. minorities earning $0.998 for every $1.000 nonminorities earned, and global women earning $1.013 for every $1.000 men earned, after accounting for job type, job level, and country. The voluntary employee turnover rate was 7.7% globally in 2024. The CEO to median employee pay ratio was 237:1 for the fiscal year ending 2024, with the CEO's total compensation at $19,061,519. There have been no substantiated labor-law or human-rights violations for the company's own operations in the past three years, although a collective action lawsuit was filed in 2024 alleging unpaid overtime.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Texas Instruments (TI) reported that in 2024, 99% of 3TG minerals identified by suppliers for integrated circuits were from Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) conformant smelters, with the remaining 1% under assessment.

Integrated circuits accounted for approximately 93% of TI's revenue in 2023. Third-party audits for suppliers are conducted every three years.

Honest & Fair Business

TI has a formal whistleblower policy, adopted by the Audit Committee, which allows for anonymous and confidential submissions via email or toll-free phone service.

The policy protects employees from retaliation for good faith reporting, consistent with Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 806. The Audit Committee oversees complaints, and the General Counsel directs investigations, with status reviewed at regularly scheduled meetings. In 2024, 11 out of 13 board members (84.61%) were independent. An anti-corruption policy is in place, supported by a compliance program that assesses worldwide operations and suppliers for corruption risks. This program leverages an industry-leading anti-corruption and third-party management system to assess external engagements. Ethics and compliance awareness training, including anti-corruption topics, is provided to all employees, select suppliers, and third parties. Manufacturing sites are assessed annually for corruption and ethics risks using RBA self-assessment tools.

Kind to Animals

Texas Instruments is a semiconductor company, and its core business operations do not typically involve direct animal testing, animal agriculture, or animal-derived ingredients. The provided articles do not contain specific, quantifiable data points related to cruelty-free certifications, alternative testing methods, humane certifications for animal operations, ethical input substitution, animal testing policies or volumes, innovation investment in animal-free technologies, animal agriculture ethics, or animal-free R&D collaborations. While general environmental initiatives like tree planting and marshland cleanup are mentioned, they lack the specific financial metrics or direct biodiversity impact required by the 'wildlife_conservation_impact' KPI. Nearly 600 trees were planted to replace more than 250 mature native trees lost from two large storms at TI’s Dallas headquarters in 2019.

A team of TI employees in China participated in an event with the Shenzhen Mangrove Wetlands Conservation Foundation, contributing 190 hours to clean up marsh lands around China to remove invasive species. Similarly, general supplier audits are mentioned, but not specifically for animal welfare compliance. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the provided evidence.

No War, No Weapons

Texas Instruments' dual-use products have been found in Russian, Chinese, and Iranian military technology

, with TI components being the second-most recovered foreign components in Russian weaponry in Ukraine . Allegations state the company continued selling microprocessors and related components through channels known to be vulnerable to misuse and to regions and distributors publicly linked to sanctioned actors . While the company asserted it stopped selling to Russia in February 2022 and states it complies with sanctions , many recovered components were basic microchips not subject to export restrictions and produced before Russia’s full-scale invasion . Historically, in 1997, Texas Instruments divested its defense business to Raytheon Company , marking a pivotal move away from direct military involvement.
