Environmental, Social & Governance
Environmental Sustainability
Safeguarding millions of customers from dangerous cyberthreats is not our only objective. In conducting our business, Zix strives to operate efficiently, thereby protecting the environment. Zix is committed to exploring initiatives that benefit both the customers we serve and the environment at large.
Social Sustainability
Zix would not be a trailblazing leader in the cybersecurity industry if not for our amazing customers, employees and partners. We care deeply about all of the people within our ecosystem and advocate for their overall happiness, health, wellness and success.
Corporate Governance
Zix has been in the cybersecurity space for more than 20 years. Our leadership position in the market is based in part on our focus on providing a highly secure and scalable solution that customers can trust.
Purpose & Vision
It is under this framework that we commit to ESG best practices to guide our decisions at every turn. Our dedicated competencies and brand promises require strong governance, especially related to cybersecurity. Our values are directly connected to the environmental and social pillars of ESG.
Our values emphasize caring and learning
ISS “Prime Status” Corporate Rating
Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS) awards Prime Status to companies with an ESG performance above the sector-specific Prime threshold, which means that they fulfill ambitious absolute performance requirements.
Industry Leading Research
Zix publishes a quarterly Cyberthreat Index for Business in partnership with the University of West Florida's Center for Cybersecurity. This report tracks small and mid-sized company cybersecurity preparedness, providing a benchmark for leaders to gauge where they stand.
Energy Efficient Datacenter
Energy Conservation is a component of Zix's environmental sustainability efforts. Our Datacenter is where we focus much of those efforts, because this aspect of our operations consumes the most energy.
We realized an immediate 66% decrease of datacenter energy consumption after an upgrade. We continued to realize diminished consumption and cost savings from the upgrade in the years immediately following it, even with the increased load resulting from our growth.
Serving Our Communities
We are deeply committed to helping the communities in which we operate and serve. From helping coastal communities recover from seasonal hurricane damage to volunteering time and resources to homeless shelters and food banks, Zix and its affiliates have been constantly extending our philanthropic reach for more than a decade. We are passionate about helping our neighbors in need.
Our success depends on empowering our people to deliver superior solutions that are trusted and secure. We earn our partners', customers', and shareholders' trust through our persistent, long-term commitment to our core values and business purpose. Nothing is more important."
