Texas Instruments Commits to Set Science-based Targets for GHG Emissions Reduction
November 13, 2024 | Texas InstrumentsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Texas Instruments (TI) announced that the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has received the company's commitment to set near-term company-wide emissions reductions in line with climate science.
As part of its commitment, TI is developing science-based targets for review and validation by SBTi's technical experts, including greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets for Scope 1 and 2 emissions aligned with the Paris Agreement which sets the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. In addition, TI plans to begin reporting additional relevant Scope 3 GHG emission categories in 2025 and plans to set supplier engagement targets to reduce emissions across its value chain.
“Our semiconductors are the foundation of sustainable technology solutions, from renewable energy and storage to vehicle electrification,” said Haviv Ilan, TI president and chief executive officer. “As a manufacturer of tens of billions of semiconductors each year, it’s critical that we provide dependable capacity while continuously striving to reduce our environmental impact. Setting and achieving climate goals underscores TI’s long-standing commitment to operate in a socially thoughtful and environmentally responsible manner, and we are confident that our collective efforts will be impactful and long-lasting.”
As TI works with SBTi to develop and assess its future goals, the company remains focused on its current multiyear goals that continue through 2025, including a reduction in absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 25% from a 2015 base year.
As the company continues to expand its manufacturing and provide geopolitically dependable capacity, TI will further increase its use of renewable electricity, with key milestones to reach 100% in its 300mm manufacturing operations by 2025, 100% in its U.S. operations by 2027, and 100% in its worldwide operations by 2030.

By 2023, the industry was deep in the red. With inflation, policy shifts, and exchange rate shocks, the problems were long, and the outlook was bleak. Recovery finally appeared in 2024, but it was fragile. Automotive electronics slumped, wireless demand stayed soft, and the ride up was anything but smooth. Yet, amid the uncertainty, one bright track emerged: artificial intelligence (AI).
