TI was ranked 33rd on Corporate Responsibility Magazine's annual "100 Best Corporate Citizens" list.

The list is based on more than 360 data points of publicly-available information and ranks the large-cap Russell 1000 companies on their performance in seven categories: environment, climate change, human rights, philanthropy, employee relations, financial performance and governance.

Among other hi-tech companies in the list is HP (1), Intel (2), and IBM (4).

No matter what the subjective criteria for picking the companies, here ought to be more hi-tech companies on lists like this one. TI is on the right path.

STMicroelectronics has aspired to be a corporate citizen for awhile.
