Total Quality Management

In principle and in practice, at work and in the global environment, ST is total in its pledge to quality. Total Quality Management is more than an idea at ST. It is the measure of the Company's dedication to exceptional individual and corporate performance.

The Total Quality lifestyle at ST has been won by careful, thoughtful and sustained effort, and driven by the daily commitment from every manager and every employee.



The hallmarks of ST's industry leadership are expressed in the five key quality principles that are driving the Company's successful growth: Customer Focus, Employee Empowerment, Continuous Improvement, Fact-based Decision Making and Management Commitment.

ST's initiatives in quality and business excellence have been recognized at the highest level across all geographic regions by the most prestigious national and international Quality awards.
The Environment

At the beginning of the new century ST is a world leader in environmental protection. The Company firmly believes that care for the environment is part of the ethical obligations of business enterprises to Society.

At ST, commitment to the environment is embodied in its Environmental Decalogue, ten quantified, timed and measurable targets to help the Company move towards environmental neutrality.

ST stands alone as the one company to have committed to the extremely ambitious goal of completely neutralizing its CO2 emissions to the atmosphere by the year 2010.

ST has enjoyed spectacular progress in the implementation of environmentally-sound technologies and processes, in tandem with equally spectacular business success and measurably more value for its shareholders.
Accomplished and talented men and women will be more attracted to a company where people are at the center of the enterprise and where ethical, social and environmental values are at the heart of the company's success.
