Values and ethics

To maintain our position as a market leader, it is crucial that we earn and establish the trust of our customers, employees, investors, suppliers, and the communities in which we operate. Gaining trust starts with conducting our business to the highest standards of ethics and integrity and meeting compliance standards. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics outlines the expectations with which we expect all employees, officers, directors, vendors, contractors, and partners to comply.

Environmental impact

Our actions today impact tomorrow

To operate long-term, we need to ensure that our local communities and the natural environment are thriving. We are committed to mitigating any adverse environmental impacts of our business activities, which at a minimum means abiding by all environmental laws, regulations, and standards that apply to us. Staying competitive in the marketplace, attracting the best talent, and prioritizing a nature positive world means holding ourselves accountable to our targets.

We are committed to:

  • A science-based emissions target of 50% reduction by 2030 and net-zero by 2050.
  • Zero-waste from operations by 2030.

We are proud to announce that OpenText has committed to setting near- and long-term company-wide emission reductions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
