Verisign's reported carbon emissions

Verisign, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of reported figures. Consequently, there are no available details regarding their Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions. Additionally, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges from the company. As of now, Verisign has not disclosed any initiatives or commitments related to carbon emissions reduction, nor does it appear to inherit any emissions data from a parent or related organization. This lack of information suggests that Verisign may still be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy or reporting framework. In the context of the industry, many companies are increasingly adopting science-based targets and sustainability initiatives, highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in addressing climate change. Verisign's future commitments and actions in this area will be crucial for aligning with industry standards and expectations.
