Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, OpenText is not," added
Barrenechea. "Our culture centers on performance, fairness, and
being practical. We strive to unlock the voice and potential in
each of our employees, in the context of business, and believe this
is essential to be a top innovator and performer."
