Guidance Software, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Open Text Corporation

Guidance Software, Inc., 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 Open Text Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. As part of its corporate family, Guidance Software's climate initiatives and targets are likely aligned with those of Open Text Corporation. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Guidance Software are not available. The company does not appear to have set Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or documented any significant climate pledges. In the context of the industry, Guidance Software's lack of publicly available emissions data and reduction initiatives may reflect broader trends among technology firms, where transparency and commitment to climate action are increasingly scrutinised. As the company continues to operate under the umbrella of Open Text Corporation, it may benefit from the parent company's sustainability strategies and initiatives in the future.
