CEO Message
We are in a unique time ― a time of great change and even greater opportunity. At OpenText, we havealways believed that information makes businesses and people better, and as the global landscapecontinues to transform, we are inspired every day to find new ways that information and technology canmake the world a better place.
The world has experienced many overlapping crises over the last two years,
including the global pandemic and the social injustices that it brought to light,
talent dislocation, economic and geo-political unrest and escalating climate
emergencies. Throughout, OpenText has continued to propel our mission
forward ― to power and protect information and to elevate every person andevery organization to gain the information advantage. I am immensely proudof the work we have done to support the wellbeing of our employees andcommunities while helping businesses accelerate their digitization to support
remote work, strengthen their cybersecurity, adapt their supply chains andexpand their reach.

Responding to immediate needOver the past year, we have embraced new expectations, new rules and newinvestments as we rethink how people and organizations can build a better
future. What has become abundantly clear is that the future of growth must be
both inclusive and sustainable, and in our third Corporate Citizenship Report, welook forward to sharing the strides we have made over the last year as part ofour commitment to advancing our environmental, social and governance goals.
In addition, we are introducing a new corporate citizenship framework, The
OpenText Zero-In Initiative, that will drive our focus with specific, measurable
goals to hold ourselves accountable to year over year.

It continues to be a great time of need and uncertainty for Ukrainian people
and, in response, OpenText has taken clear and decisive action in a numberof ways, including ongoing support through our fundraising initiative with
UNHCR. Most recently, we are supporting schools in Poland that havewelcomed more than 600 Ukrainian refugee children into their classrooms,
and we are offering stipends for OpenText employees who open their homes
to refugees, to help ease the financial burden of hosting. As we hope foran end to the war, we are seeing the strength and resolve of the people of
Ukraine, and they are an inspiration for all of us.

We are excited to share our vision for how we can strengthen our people,
products and planet — today and in the coming years.

The pandemic turned the world on its head. But, it also made us realize whatmatters most, the health and safety of our communities. As severe weather
events ravaged our communities over the last couple of years, it became veryclear that a warming earth is impacting us all. OpenText has responded to theimmediate need by supporting food banks and humanitarian efforts incommunities across the globe, and we are grateful for our employees aroundthe world who have spent thousands of hours on local fundraising initiatives andvolunteering for causes close to their hearts through our volunteer program.

CEO Message
The OpenText Zero-In Initiative
Companies have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to create long-term value and impact forcustomers, employees and society as a whole. That is why we are introducing the OpenText Zero-In Initiative,
a new framework that encompasses all our ESG commitments and programs. Our framework is based on
three pillars that focus on measurable, values-driven goals under the pillars of Zero Footprint, Zero Barriers
and Zero Compromise.
Under this framework, our commitments are clear. We are zeroing in on what matters most while
never compromising our culture, values, ethical business responsibilities or our mission to power andprotect information.

Zero Footprint
The greatest long-term threat we face is climate change, and it must be urgently addressed.
OpenText embraces the opportunity to reduce our footprint in every possible way and help our customers
do the same.
We are committing to a science-based emissions target of 50% reduction by 2030 and net-zero by 2040
and to zero operational waste by 2030. Becoming a net-zero company requires a collective effort acrossthe organization, and we are working with teams across the business to identify reduction opportunities
and develop plans for more energy-efficient projects. When it comes to choosing our suppliers, weprioritize those who have embedded sustainability within their products, operations and supply chains.
The goal is to eliminate emissions and waste to the greatest extent possible and promote a circular
economy, where resources are put back into the system to be used over again.
Our Information Management solutions also align with our customers’ growing demand for driving
sustainability in their own operations. A top priority for OpenText is moving our customers to the cloud,helping them achieve their own environmental goals by becoming climate innovators and transitioning
from paper to digital processes, using fewer servers, consuming less power and ultimately reducing
emissions and waste.

6/54

2022 Corporate Citizenship Report | GRI 102-14

While our journey to Zero Footprint will evolve and deepen, I am proud of the important steps we are taking tohold ourselves accountable to our planet through data and action.

Zero Barriers
To build stronger teams and solve the complex, global challenges we face, the world needs people fromall backgrounds and perspectives to come together. Every voice at OpenText deserves to be heard andrespected, and that is why we are building a work environment with Zero Barriers.
We are committed to having a majority ethnically diverse workforce by 2030. We have also committed to50/50 gender parity within key roles by 2030 and 40% women in leadership positions at all managementlevels because, for consistent equity, we must create a culture that values differences starting with a
topdown approach.
OpenText can help bring equity, diversity and inclusion not only to our company, but to the world, by creating
development opportunities for underrepresented groups. Whether it’s our Indigenous and Black student
internship programs, our engineering internship opportunities for women in India or helping to address criticalskills training in South Africa, we are doing our part to transform young lives by providing practical work
experience, education and mentorship opportunities that will give them the knowledge and confidence theyneed to prepare for a career in the tech industry.
Supporting the wellbeing of our employees is also central to our success. We believe that our employees mustall be able to live and work in a healthy environment, and this is underpinned by our unequivocal support for
self-determination. From ensuring our U.S. employees have the insurance coverage needed to protect healthbenefits, wellbeing and fundamental rights, to signing the Human Rights Campaign Business Statement on
Anti-LGBTQ State Legislation calling for public leaders to abandon or oppose these efforts, we will neverwaver in our commitment to creating a workplace where everyone feels safe and free to be their truest andmost authentic selves.

CEO Message

Zero CompromiseWith the right information, anything is possible

We intend to reach our Zero Footprint and Zero Barriers goals with the same values-based approach that
we bring to work every day. This is what we call The OpenText Way. It is about elevating our people and ourorganization and zeroing-in on what matters most. With our Zero Compromise pillar, we are committed totransparency and holding ourselves accountable to our ESG goals and continuing to foster our culture of techfor good.

This year, we are excited to renew our connections as we welcome more employees back to our offices
across the globe, with flexibility at the center. Those in-person moments are irreplaceable, and we have somuch to look forward to as we execute on our agenda with a sense of renewal, always putting employee
safety at the forefront.

Technology, like any other tool, needs to be coupled with ethics, integrity and strong commitments around
privacy and security, and when it comes to protecting and securing data and mitigating risk with best-in-classtechnologies, there are zero compromises. We make a commitment to our customers and employees thatwhen they entrust their data to us, our number one priority is to defend and protect it.

The challenges we face today will continue to evolve, but I am optimistic that the lessons of the pandemic
will translate into lasting changes. We are going through a huge moment of disruption now, and it is exciting
to see newly burgeoning sectors that are setting us up for a more inclusive and sustainable future.
Few things have the power to transform our world as rapidly and radically as digital technology. It has thepower to create a more equitable, just and democratic world, and that is what inspires us to partner withorganizations around the globe and think about how we can use our unique products and capabilities forthe greater good. With the right information, anything is possible, and we are honored to be a part of thejourney and the solution.
Our footprint can be zero. Our barriers can be zero. And when we are asked which of these goals can becompromised, our answer is zero.

2022 Corporate Citizenship Report

Julie Millard

Vice President, Corporate Citizenship“A central part of our corporate
citizenship mission is our ability to evolveand bring together employees, expertise,
and technology to build a world thatelevates sustainability and inclusivity.
The OpenText Zero-In Initiative is at
the heart of this year’s report and will

zero barriers and zero compromise.”Our Approach
We continue to lean into the strength and foundation of our core values and culture, combined with anunderstanding of what is important to both our internal and external stakeholders, to move us forward.
To zero in on continued progress requires meeting the evolving needs of all our stakeholders, while engaging with opportunities around us. This is at the heart of ourcorporate citizenship approach, and it is the reason why we are focusing on The OpenText Zero-In Initiative in this report and beyond. It is an evolution that continuallyharnesses the power of technology for the greater good, while embracing new expectations, new investments, and ongoing feedback from our stakeholders. Our
corporate citizenship governance framework sets out a structured approach to pursuing and managing activities to meet these objectives across the Company.

our communities, and our customers.
Our governance framework is a strong
foundation that helps us deliver
meaningful programs, with a priority on
trust and transparency.”

Our Approach

Corporate Citizenship Priorities
As a global organization committed to corporate citizenship, we understand the need to align ouroperations under the common focus of sustainability. In FY21, our Corporate Citizenship team formallydefined priorities by establishing a set of topics to guide its strategy and programs. These topics set abaseline against which we can monitor potential risks and opportunities and identify emerging issues that
could affect future business success and stakeholder relationships.
The process we undertook in this prioritization exercise was informed by the Global Reporting
Initiative’s (GRI) Principles for Defining Report Content and included research, surveys, workshops,
and analysis. The steps consisted of topic identification from internal and external sources, topic
prioritization and validation.
Based on internal and external sources, we identified a range of priority ESG topics that could impact ourbusiness and stakeholders, and could influence the decisions, actions, and performance of our organization.
In FY22, our Corporate Citizenship team continued to refine and assess priorities to guide its strategy
and programs, including our OpenText Zero-In Initiative. As a result of our Zero Footprint commitments,
in FY22, we decided to elevate a topic to a corporate citizenship priority: Environment & Product Impact.
For further details about our prioritization exercise, please see our FY21 Corporate Citizenship Report.

Supplier Diversity
Our commitment to ED&I extends to our supply chain. We welcome and encourage diverse suppliers
including, but not limited to minorities, women, LGBTQ+, persons with disabilities, and veteran-owned
business as suppliers and subcontractors.
We expect all our suppliers to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with our Supplier Codeof Conduct and to have their own internal policies and practices to promote ED&I across their organizationand supply chain.
OpenText launched a supplier diversity audit pilot with select suppliers, which helped us better understandour suppliers’ approach to diversity and how it supports our ED&I pledge. This was completed with support
from our Internal Audit team. We plan to continue enhancing our supplier diversity audit to share ideas, learn
from our suppliers, and inform our policies.

Business Conduct

Enterprise Risk Management

Risk identification

2. Internal Factors

Our Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) program
drives the identification, analysis, and managementof risk across OpenText. The Board has overall
responsibility for risk oversight. The Board
is responsible for overseeing management’s
implementation and operation of ERM, either directlyor through its committees, which report to theBoard with respect to risk oversight undertaken inaccordance with their respective charters.
At least annually, the Board reviews withmanagement the risks inherent in the businessof the Company including appropriate crisis
preparedness, business continuity, information
system controls, cybersecurity, disaster recovery
plans, and ESG matters, the appropriate degree ofrisk mitigation and risk control, overall compliancewith and the effectiveness of the Company’s risk
management policies, and residual risks after
implementation of controls.

Through a combination of both a formal risk
methodology and management’s involvement in daily
operations, risks are identified/logged and profiled.

• Significant changes in policies, processes,
or personnel

Management considers risks that can arise
from both external and internal factors including
the following:
1. External Factors• Technological developments• Changing customer needs or expectations• Competition that could alter marketing orservice activities• New legislation and regulation that could forcechanges in policies and strategies• Natural catastrophes, including extreme
weather events caused by climate change,that could lead to changes in operations
or information systems• Economic changes that could have an impact
on management decisions

17/54

2022 Corporate Citizenship Report• Potential for fraud, including incentives andpressures for employees and fraud opportunities• Disruption in information systems processing• The quality of personnel hired and methods oftraining used
• Changes in management responsibilities

Risk analysis and mitigation
Once the significance and likelihood of risk havebeen assessed, management considers how
the risk should be managed. Risk assessment
reviews are performed as a component of routine
management meetings where risks are analyzed
through strength, weakness, opportunity, andthreat (SWOT) analysis by members of executive
management. Risk Mitigation includes identifying,
selecting, and developing activities to adequately
address risks. The organization has documented
policies and procedures to guide personnel
throughout this process.

Business Continuity

Ukraine crisis response

OpenText engages in Business Continuity and Emergency Management (BCEM) programs to mitigate,
prepare, respond, and recover from potential threats to our Company. Through our Business Continuity andEmergency Management program, we have developed plans to ensure our ability to meet the following goals:

With the onset of the Ukraine crisis, OpenText immediately initiated an organized response. In the hours
after the invasion, CEO Mark Barrenechea announced an end to all travel and direct business in Russia andBelarus and with known Russian-owned companies. Together, the Business Continuity Team and Shield,
our pandemic response team, created the Ukraine Response Team to support employees by addressing
questions or concerns related to the crisis. A central Ukraine Response landing page with FAQs and resources
was also created to openly share how OpenText is standing with the people of Ukraine. From an external
perspective, protecting customer and partner data remains our top priority. OpenText will continue to adopt
a proactive and vigilant approach in monitoring cyber-threats. More details on our Ukraine response can befound in the Community Engagement section of the report.

1. Ensuring the safety and well-being of employees
2. Reducing operational downtime during an incident
3. Prioritizing function recovery order within predefined timeframes
4. Managing and facilitating resource allocation before, during, and after an incident/event
5. Minimizing financial, operational, employee, reputational, legal, and contractual impacts
6. Delivering organizational resiliency
The Business Continuity Core Committee (BCCC) supports our goals for advancement of BCEM program
oversight. Local offices have a representative on the Core Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) who areresponsible for providing localized knowledge of employees, facilities, and incidents at their location. We aresupported by an active Executive Leadership Team (ELT) that provide strategic direction during large scale
responses to incident(s). Our ELT and BCCC provide a dynamic crisis management process for all levels of
incidents, including multi-location incidents.
Our program and plans follow an all-hazards approach with a focus on identifying single-point failures andassigning the resources required to ensure continued operations, regardless of the incident level.
This enables OpenText to maintain operations during various unforeseen incidents which may cause a
disruption. OpenText continues to mature the BCEM program with each incident, creating opportunities toimprove efficiency and effectiveness.

Information security
As we embark on a hybrid return-to-office strategy,
we are guided by five essential technologies:
Cloud, Edge, Security, Application Programming
Interface (API) Services, and Data and Artificial
Intelligence (AI).
The Cloud plus the Edge are top priorities due towidespread decentralization, work from anywhere,
5G, and global connectivity. From the Cloud to our
API services to AI, the information contained inthese platforms must be secure. Without a secureand trusted platform, nothing else matters, which
is why we have a robust Information Security Risk
Management Methodology in place.

The Diversity of our People – North America
In support of our ambition to foster ED&I across our workforce, we set out in
2022 to better understand our ethnic diversity within North America. In 2022,
we conducted comprehensive outreach campaigns to our 7,000+ U.S. andCanada employees asking them to update their personal profile information on a
voluntary basis to tell us more about their ethnicity. It is important to us that ourdisclosures reflect the voluntary declarations of our employees. The disclosure
rate increased by five percent in the last year, and we will continue encouraging
employees to share their demographic information in the effort to improve ourdata scope and impact the design of our ED&I programs across the organization.
As depicted in the graphs below, 84% of our Canadian employees declared theirvisible vs non-visible status, and 63% of U.S. employees declared their ethnicity

As we develop our talent programs to unleash the proven potential thatcomes from diverse perspectives, we regularly review pay programs andpractices to ensure that employees in common roles are paid equitably.
This includes a clear, open commitment to employees that if they haveany concerns about the internal equity of their role, that it will be reviewed
right away. We take proactive actions in adjusting as part of our internal
review process.
In both Canada and the United States, we have reviewed visible minority(non-white) vs. non-visible minority (white) pay differences across common
roles, locations, and experience levels. Our analysis, based on the voluntary
data available, indicated no systematic pay gaps between the groups. We
have a principle of equal pay for equal work, which we believe we haveachieved in our workplace, and we are committed to continuing this practice.
As we continue to increase the number of employees providing us with theirethnicity data, we will continue to advance and refine our pay analysis anddisclosures to ensure our commitment to fair pay continues to be realized.

In Fiscal Year 2022, as part of our expanded ED&I
initiative, we enhanced our maternity and parental
leave benefits in Canada, U.S., and India. Additionally,
we implemented a new family care leave allowing

Community engagement in India
The focus of impact this year was health care and wellness, in order to help communities continue their recovery from the devastating pandemic. OpenText
India completed several large projects to improve emergency healthcare facilities by upgrading ICUs at the Niloufer hospital in Hyderabad and at three of
Bangalore’s most important hospitals: KC General Hospital, Vanivilas Women & Children Hospital, and KR Puram General Hospital. All four facilities are public
hospitals, providing free healthcare for critically ill patients. Through a donation of $240,000, OpenText helped to fund Bipap machines, High-Flow Nasal
Cannula machines, pediatric ventilators, defibrillators, pulse oximeters, and much more. The new medical equipment is expected to add value to the existing
infrastructure and provide care well beyond the pandemic.

Although the CNN Thanda School was closed due to COVID-19, we continued to provide funding for nutrition kits for students and their families. As part of theholiday food bank campaign, $56,000 was donated to United Way to provide nutrition kits to orphanages and elderly care homes in Hyderabad and Bengaluru,
providing a total of 300,000 meals. OpenText also partnered with United Way of Bengaluru and the government of Karnataka to set up a children’s library in the
Mysuru district. We were proud to provide more than 28,000 books to this community.

Vice President, Software Engineering &Hyderabad Site Leader

To support the success of all these initiatives, employees dedicated more than 400 hours in volunteer service.

“Volunteers are essential for keeping
our communities strong and they makeso much possible. Now more thanever, people helping others is worthcelebrating and our colleagues in India
are a testament to this. From donations
to support public hospitals, to setting
up a children’s library, and helping to
distribute food kits, our employees inIndia dedicated more than 400 hours involunteer service.”

The greatest challenge we face in the long term is climate change. Addressing climate change is a global
challenge that’s becoming increasingly urgent, public, and connected. As a technology leader, OpenText has
both an obligation and an opportunity to take action that will improve the well-being of our customers, ouremployees and our society as a whole.
We are continuing to invest in minimizing our environmental impacts and maintaining the highest governance standards as a way of doing business. Staying
competitive in the marketplace, attracting the best talent, and having a positive impact on the planet, means zeroing-in and holding ourselves accountable to
our Zero-Footprint target.
It takes a community to achieve such a monumental milestone. OpenText embraces the opportunity to reduce our footprint and help our customers andsuppliers to do the same, while fostering a culture of sustainability.

Reducing our footprint
We are committed to mitigating the adverse environmental impacts of our business activities which, at a minimum, means meeting all environmental laws, regulations, andstandards that apply to OpenText. As a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), we have also pledged to uphold certain environmental principles, which
include undertaking initiatives that promote greater environmental responsibility and encouraging the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies.
Our Environmental Policy articulates our commitment to measuring and managing our environmental impact. We integrate the consideration of environmental concerns
and impacts into our everyday decision making and business activities. Externally, we promote sustainable consumption by developing and promoting environmentallysound technologies to support our customers’ digital transformations, including transitioning to the cloud environment. Internally, we will continue to develop,
implement, and manage company-wide environmental initiatives.

Key activities include the following:
Energy management—In addition to upgrading
lighting and building management systems at
our facilities, we collaborate with landlords
and other partners on environmental projects
in leased spaces. This includes installing solar
panels in India as well as installing motion
and occupancy sensors, re-commissioningof equipment, and replacing fluorescentlighting with energy-efficient LED lighting.
Additionally, several sites continue to trackenergy consumption and cost as well as
benchmark energy performance. Our OpenText
offices have implemented work processes toreduce energy consumption including the useof window blinds to reduce indoor building
heat, purchasing energy efficient hardware
such as ENERGY-STAR ®-certified equipment,
and shutting down non-critical equipment andlighting after hours. We have also introduced
energy conservation activities at our buildings
during reduced occupancy such as adjusting
set points for our HVAC systems, setting
boilers to eco-mode, changing our floor
lighting settings, temporarily closing kitchens/
breakrooms, and unplugging unused kitchen
appliances and equipment.

Energy-efficient servers are used in our companyowned and operated data centers, and we arecontinuously investing in more energy-efficient,high-density equipment.
We continue to measure our colocation vendors’
energy efficiency and renewable energy usage
and have incorporated environmental data fromour hyperscaler partners this year. We are actively
pursuing efforts to increase renewable energy
consumption and we are committed to continuous
improvements, in monitoring and consumption, in
future years.
Data life cycle management practices include
standardizing times for data retention to improvedata storage efficiency and minimize the numberof servers required. At many data centers andcolocations such as Grasbrunn (Germany),
Hyderabad (India), Helsinki (Finland), Montreal(Canada), Waterloo (Canada), Brook Park (U.S.),
Chessington (UK), Chandler (U.S.), Amstelveen(Netherlands), and Ashburn (U.S.), we deploy
cold and hot aisle containment systems to
reduce power consumption by managing air
flow. The system distributes cold and hot air in amore energy-efficient way and reduces energy

2022 Corporate Citizenship Report | GRI 102-10, 102-11, 103-302, 302-4, 103-305

consumption requirements by 10 to 20%. The
average Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) for
major OpenText data centers in FY22 was 1.74.
We prioritize decommissioning end-of-life systems
that use outdated, inefficient technologies that
consume more energy, including in Tinton Falls(U.S.), Tucson (U.S.) and Pasadena (U.S.).
Each year, our Brook Park, Ohio data center shuts
down all unnecessary power on select days during
the summer as part of a load shedding initiativewith local energy providers during peak periods.
We continued to improve the cooling efficiency ofthe data center by enhancing the underfloor air
distribution systems. Also in Brook Park, we arechanging HVAC coolant to a more environmentallyfriendly refrigerant.
We are upgrading our equipment such as
computer room air conditioning (CRAC) anduninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems
at certain data centers such as Amstelveen(Netherlands) and Richmond Hill (Canada) andinstalling devices to measure specific power
consumption and monitor our efficiency.

Real estate—The majority of our facilities areleased. We consider green attributes, such as
proximity to public transportation and tenantamenities, when leasing or purchasing property
and selecting colocation data centers. Our use ofsophisticated space management tools enables us
to maximize space utilization. Environmental dataand electricity submetering, where applicable, is astandard request in all our new leases in an effort toaccurately measure our energy consumption.
Many of the global facilities that we lease haveachieved a green building certification such as
LEED®, BOMA BEST®, ENERGY STAR®, Green Star,BREEAM, or WELL certifications. To achieve green
building standards, buildings must meet rigorous
requirements for energy and water efficiency,transportation, materials, waste, tenant engagement
and health, and indoor air quality. For example, ourPasadena (U.S.), Makati City (Philippines), Hong Kong
(China), Hyderabad (India), and Stockholm (Sweden)
offices are LEED® Gold certified and the Richmond Hill
(Canada) office is BOMA BEST® certified.

Many sites also feature biophilic designs suchas outdoor tenant green spaces with natural
tree shading, pollinator gardens, and beehives,
as well as indoor green walls which contributeto a healthy work environment and improve
the well-being of occupants. Where possible,
we are working with landlords to install highefficiency air filters on equipment throughout
our offices in line with leading industry bestpractices and recommendations. High efficiency
air filters improve indoor air quality for tenantsby significantly reducing levels of indoor
contaminants and irritants such as pollen
and allergen particles as well as bacteria andairborne germs.

At our Waterloo headquarters, our partnership with
TravelWise provides travel services for individuals
who prefer to rideshare to work or need discounted
transit fares or emergency rides home. Employees
who ride their bicycles to the Waterloo office canstore them in the secure storage area and canperform repairs on-site at the repair station.

OpenText has adopted a hybrid return-to-officestrategy and consolidated certain facilities tostreamline operations and accelerate work-fromhome initiatives that reduce our global footprint.
Through the use of collaboration tools, employees
have switched to connecting with customers andcolleagues virtually, while maintaining a high levelof productivity.

Many of our offices around the world featureelectrical vehicle (EV) and/or hybrid vehicle
charging stations that are available for occupant
use including our Waterloo (Canada), Montreal(Canada), Beijing (China), Paris (France), Frankfurt(Germany), Stockholm (Sweden), and Southfield(U.S.). In addition to onsite EV charging stations,
our OpenText employees have access to a host of
tenant travel amenities including secure and covered
bicycle racks and end-of-trip facilities such as
showers and changerooms which encourage active
travel to and from work at our Singapore, Southfield(U.S.), Broomfield (U.S.), Richmond Hill (Canada),
Waterloo (Canada), Hong Kong (China), Tampere(Finland), Sao Paulo (Brazil), and Grasbrunn(Germany) offices.

Travel—OpenText technology enables collaboration
across the globe, thereby reducing the need forbusiness travel, especially during the height of thepandemic. With employees returning to our offices
through our Flex-Office approach, they have accessto more than 30 video conferencing rooms.

For our annual global customer events, collectively
known as OpenText World, we continue to follow
a digital format to allow more customers to attend
virtually. This enables us to deliver an engaging,
immersive experience while reducing the need forattendees or guest speakers to travel.

Waste reduction—We have implemented programs
across our global offices to recycle paper, printercartridges, batteries, plastics, and metals. Selectsites including Beijing (China), Sydney (Australia),
Mississauga (Canada), and Austin (U.S.) haveincluded a separate Personal Protective Equipment(PPE) waste stream. E-waste programs in all main
offices ensure retired computing assets, such as
laptops, cell phones, monitors, and desktops, do
not go to landfill sites and our e-waste vendors are
ISO 14001 certified. In addition, we provide reusable
glasses and mugs in our offices and have a global
initiative to replace plastic cutlery with reusable
cutlery in all serveries. Over the past two years, due
to the pandemic, our offices experienced reduced
occupancy, which encouraged us to donate our hot
and cold beverage supplies and emergency kits tolocal organizations in need to ensure they are used
before they reach their best-before dates and tofurther minimize waste.

Water—Water filtration systems have been installedin our offices and we have discontinued providing
bottled water for employees. Our India offices in
Bangalore and Hyderabad participated in a virtual
session with an agro-ecologist that focused onconservating natural resources, such as water.
Water reduction and conservation activities
have been implemented at several officelocations including Montreal (Canada), Reading(UK), Bengaluru (India), Alpharetta (U.S.), Cork
(Ireland), Sydney (Australia), and Makati City
(Philippines). Facilities feature low-flow or
automatic toilets, faucets, urinals, and showers. In
addition, landlords have water efficient irrigation
controls in place such as drip irrigation and smart
scheduling as well as use of native plants anddrought-tolerant plant species to reduce outdoor
water use. Our Menlo Park (U.S.) office building
features a large variety of drought tolerant plants
and is in the process of implementing a sitewide smart irrigation controller system to help
mitigate unnecessary water waste based on
actual weather patterns and moisture readings byeach zone. Lastly, continuous monitoring of water
consumption and costs, as well as leak testing inwashrooms have also been implemented. We willcontinue our water conservation efforts across
our offices.

Employee education and engagement

Environmental Goals

Employees are encouraged to act on their own to help protect theenvironment. Often when employees take on environmental causes at home,they feel encouraged to bring the same level of enthusiasm into work andengage their coworkers.

We understand it is a long journey to zero, but we will zero-in every day, achieving shrinking footprints along the way.

Employees around the world celebrated Earth Day by taking part in awareness,learning, and action for the planet. In 2022, CEO Mark Barrenechea hosted an
important conversation with global climate change expert David Wallace-Wells,
author of The Uninhabitable Earth. Our April All-Hands meeting was dedicated to
discussing The OpenText Zero-In Initiative, and how OpenText is moving towards
stronger sustainability and emissions reductions. Employees were invited tomeasure their individual carbon footprints and take action to reduce them, as
well as take part in litter pick-ups in their local communities. Ideas to teach new
habits and educate employees on environmental issues are shared continually tokeep the environment top of mind throughout the year.

Previously, we announced plans to reduce our energy consumption per dollar revenue by 5%, reduce our scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas
emissions per dollar revenue by 5%, and work towards a goal of 65% diversion rate in our regional headquarters, in each case by June 30,
2023, and relative to a FY21 baseline. At the end of FY22, we achieved a 4% reduction in our energy consumption per dollar revenue anda 9% reduction in our scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions per dollar revenue. We also achieved a 66% waste diversion rate at our
global headquarters in Waterloo in FY22.

In FY21, we engaged key teams across the business in a climate scenario
exercise, informed by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures(TCFD) recommendations. The purpose was to identify operational risks andopportunities and to discuss how we can continue to build resiliency.

Net Zero• A science-based emissions target of 50% reduction by 2030, and net-zero by 2040 from a baseline of FY22.

Recognizing that industry needs to move faster to reduce emissions, including in light of COP 26 and recent IPCC reports on global
emissions growth, we’ve launched new targets with our OpenText Zero-In Initiative and retired our previous goals. We have committed toachieve net-zero emissions by 2040, and to reduce our emissions by 50% by 2030, relative to a FY22 baseline and including our scope 1, 2
and 3 emissions, encompassing our operations and relevant categories in our value chain.
We are in the preliminary stages of building our processes and roadmap to achieve our zero-in goals. As part of this process, we arerefining our relevant scope 3 emissions inventory. Consistent with our culture and principles-based approach to our business operations,
we will ensure any frameworks we commit to will help guide our success and help to zero-in on tangible ways to eliminate emissions,
reduce waste, and elevate the lives of people around the world. Our emissions reduction target is founded on science-based principles
that are expected to generally align with the principles of the Paris Agreement and we continue to evaluate the possibilities of receiving ascience-based accreditation. We will continue to annually disclose our greenhouse gas emissions inventory and progress towards meeting
our near and longer-term targets.

Becoming a net-zero company requires a collective effort across the organization. Our Corporate Citizenship team has started to workcross-functionally across the business to collect data and information to calculate specific targets, identify reduction opportunities,
and develop plans for energy efficiency projects and decarbonizing our operations. Keeping our net-zero target at the forefront makes
us stronger and our customers, partners, current and future employees, and governments expect it. Our sustainability efforts are an
investment for the future.

Zero Waste• Zero waste from operations by 2030
This year, we announced an ambitious commitment to achieve zero waste from OpenText operations
by 2030. As a concept, zero waste is about conserving resources through responsible production,
consumption, reuse, and recovery of products, packaging, and materials1. The Zero Waste International
Alliance considers zero waste as diverting more than 90% of solid waste generated from landfill andincineration and that is our ambition2. We have implemented waste programs across our global offices
over the years, but we are still early in our zero waste journey. Through our actions, we have kept paper,
batteries, printer cartridges, plastic, and metal containers out of landfills. We have been removing singleuse plastic cutlery and replacing them with reusable ones in our serveries. Reusable drinking glasses
and mugs are also provided so employees can enjoy various beverages at our offices without creating
additional waste.
We will continue to develop programs across our company that will focus on the avoidance of creating waste,
repurposing equipment when it makes sense and reducing waste disposal from various areas of operations.

The majority of our employees continued to work from home in FY22 and about 6% of our employees
are working in our office locations. With our flex-office approach to work, as of June 30, 2022, where
employees have the flexibility to work from home and in our offices, OpenText will continue to monitor
the changes to our waste in FY23 and beyond.
As a software company, we rely on electronic equipment to keep our business running smoothly. Servers,
network equipment, computers, monitors, peripherals, and other equipment are used throughout our offices
and data centers globally to serve our 14,800 employees and customers. When this equipment is readyto be retired or becomes obsolete, our e-waste program ensures that they are collected and disposed of
responsibly through our e-waste vendors. E-waste is collected at our Waterloo headquarters as well as otherlarge offices. We work with e-waste vendors that are ISO 14001 certified and ensure they perform appropriate
destruction and recycling services. In FY22, we collected 196 metric tonnes and 5,869 pieces of e-waste forrecycling and 1,091 pieces of e-waste were reused or donated.

FY22 emissions were calculated using data from 89% of global facilities square footage in addition to 23 colocation partners covering 72% of rack space. The remaining facilities and colocations were estimated to represent 100%. Due to 		the timeframe between the end of the fiscal year and GHG inventory reporting, in some cases we estimated data for the last time period where primary data was not available, representing 28% of scope 1 and 2 emissions (location-based).

2

In FY22, we re-stated our FY21 emissions to reflect the full coverage of our colocation partners in our inventory and methodology revisions from data improvements related to facility energy consumption. This increased our location-based scope 1 		and 2 emissions by 14%. We did not re-state our FY20 emissions.
Energy consumption includes electricity, natural gas, diesel fuel and fuel from fleet vehicles.

3

Scope 1 includes emissions from direct onsite and mobile sources (natural gas, diesel fuel, refrigerants from cooling systems and fuel from fleet vehicles). We improved the methodology for calculating emissions from natural gas by recategorizing 		
facilities and updating estimation assumptions which resulted in an increase. We are working on improving our methodology for determining fugitive emissions from the use of refrigerants at our facilities.

4

Scope 2 includes emissions from purchased electricity (electricity from office facilities, corporate data centers and IT equipment at colocation data centers).

5

Scope 3 includes indirect emissions from our value chain: business travel data where available (air and rail travel, hotels, rental cars), taxis (India only), gas cards for employee vehicles, courier services, overhead energy use at colocation 		data centers representing 72% of rack space, subleased facilities, fuel and energy-related activities not included in scope 1 or 2 (upstream emissions from purchased fuels and electricity, and transmission & distribution losses for electricity)and use of sold products (emissions from select hyperscalers representing 35% of usage). We are refining our scope 3 emissions inventory to include more relevant categories. For more information on our scope 3 emissions, please see our CDP
climate change submission.

6

In certain cases where data was unavailable, estimations were made based on accepted industry standards. We used the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition), Scope 2 Guidance, Corporate
Value Chain (Scope 3 Standard) and ISO 14064-1. Due to rounding, the sum of numbers may not precisely equal the totals.

Our absolute scope 1 and 2 emissions decreased
in FY22 versus FY21, due to ongoing facility
footprint changes and improvements in local
electricity grids where we operate. In FY22,
we updated our FY21 emissions to reflect thefull coverage of our colocation partners in ourinventory and methodology revisions related tofacility energy consumption. Due to COVID-19,
the majority of our employees continued to workfrom home. In FY23, as we begin our return tooffice work arrangements, we will continue tofocus on improved data collection based on moreconsistent work patterns. With respect to ourscope 3 emissions, we were able to measure ourfootprint from the use of select hyperscalers andhave included them in our scope 3 emissions
totals for the first time. In addition, we have slowly
started to resume business travel which has
increased our overall scope 3 emissions.
