Verisign's reported carbon emissions

Verisign, headquartered in the US, currently does not have publicly available data on its carbon emissions, as no specific emissions figures have been provided. Consequently, there are no reported Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data to analyse. In the absence of concrete emissions data, it is important to note that Verisign has not outlined any specific reduction targets or climate commitments. This lack of information suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy.
