NEWBURY, UK – November 2, 2021 – Micro Focus (LSE: MCRO; NYSE: MFGP) today announced its support for The Nature Conservancy’s (TNC) Global Climate Program, as part of Micro Focus INSPIRE, its global Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) program designed to cover multiple aspects of what it means to be a socially and environmentally responsible global enterprise.
As world leaders meet in the UK this week to take part in the UN Climate Change Conference COP26, the company is also supporting the Count Us In project which aims to inspire 1 billion citizens to significantly reduce their carbon pollution and challenge leaders to deliver bold, global change. Employees are encouraged to join the project to make positive impacts.
