Additionally, the company has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments to climate initiatives, such as those outlined by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). As of now, Verisign's climate commitments and reduction initiatives remain unspecified, indicating a potential area for development in their sustainability strategy.
