Message from our CEO & CTO
CEO & CTO, OpenText
Our Zero-In Initiative is based on the pillars of Zero Compromise, Zero Barriers, and Zero Footprint, encompassing our ESG commitments. We are passionate about making the world a better place, and we challenge ourselves every day to help our customers grow and thrive, while at the same time solving some of the most difficult challenges we face. I am proud to share our progress towards our ESG goals in our 2024 Corporate Citizenship Report, and I am very optimistic about the journey ahead.
The OpenText Zero-In Initiative
The OpenText Zero-In Initiative is our guiding framework to achieving global impact goals related to our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments and programs. Affirming our promise to harness the power of technology for the greater good, the OpenText Zero-In Initiative is focused on specific, measurable goals that leverage data to enable us to move the dial on critical global challenges.
The OpenText Zero-In Initiative is centered around three pillars:
Zero compromise
We are committed to transparency, ethical business conduct, and holding ourselves accountable to our ESG goals and continuing to foster a culture of tech for good.
Zero barriers
We are focused on having a majority ethnically diverse workforce, 50/50 gender parity within key roles, and 40% women in leadership positions at all management levels by 2030.
Zero footprint
We are committed to an emissions reduction target of 50% by 2030 and net-zero by 2050 as well as zero-waste to landfill from operations by 2030.
Zero compromise
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. There will be zero compromise when it comes to doing what is right. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics outlines the expectations with which we expect all employees, officers, directors, vendors, contractors, and partners to comply.

Ethical supply chain
In alignment with our Supplier Code of Conduct, we expect all of our suppliers to behave responsibly, ethically, and sustainably. Active monitoring of our suppliers helps us ensure they are compliant with relevant legislation and key elements of our Supplier Code of Conduct. We hold our suppliers to the same high standards to which we hold ourselves.
