National Semiconductor Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Texas Instruments Incorporated, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While National Semiconductor Corporation has not set its own reduction targets, it is likely aligned with the sustainability initiatives of Texas Instruments. Texas Instruments has established science-based targets for emissions reductions, which may cascade down to National Semiconductor through their corporate relationship. However, specific details regarding these targets or any commitments to initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) are not available for National Semiconductor. In summary, without specific emissions data or defined reduction targets, National Semiconductor Corporation's climate commitments remain unclear, but they may be influenced by the broader sustainability strategies of Texas Instruments Incorporated.
