NetScreen Technologies Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Juniper Networks, Inc.

NetScreen Technologies Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for reporting. The company is a merged entity and inherits its climate commitments and emissions data from its parent organisation, Juniper Networks, Inc. As part of its climate strategy, NetScreen Technologies Inc. aligns with the initiatives and targets set by Juniper Networks, which includes participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, specific reduction targets or achievements have not been disclosed for NetScreen Technologies Inc. itself. The absence of direct emissions data suggests that the company is in the early stages of establishing its own climate commitments, relying on the frameworks and initiatives of Juniper Networks. This context highlights the importance of corporate family relationships in shaping climate strategies and emissions reporting within the technology sector.
