Zix Corporation's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Open Text Corporation

Zix Corporation, headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures in kg CO2e. The company is a current subsidiary of Open Text Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While Zix Corporation does not have documented reduction targets or initiatives, it is important to note that its climate commitments may be aligned with those of its parent company, Open Text Corporation. This relationship suggests that any climate strategies or targets could be cascaded from Open Text, which is actively engaged in sustainability efforts. As of now, Zix Corporation has not publicly disclosed any specific climate pledges or initiatives, nor does it report on its participation in frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The lack of emissions data and reduction targets indicates that Zix Corporation may still be in the early stages of developing its climate strategy.
