Texas Instruments’ CEO and President Richard Templeton (pictured) has
been named as the recipient of the 2007 SEMI Akira Inoue award for
excellence in environmental, health and safety standards. The Akira
Inoue award is named after the late past President of TEL, who
implemented collaboration on EHS development in the semiconductor
industry.
Templeton joins the ranks of former recipients whose commitment to these standards has contributed to the overall raising of EHS standards awareness in the industry. The particular achievements of Templeton as outlined by the award committee as contributors to his selection as recipient include TI’s establishment of the world’s first “green” semiconductor manufacturing facility; three consecutive years of TI having the highest safety rate within the U.S. semiconductor industry; and the provision of products with low power consumption and greater energy efficiency.
