Our Values
Cisco's approach to corporate citizenship is based on our values of openness, integrity, and generosity. Cisco prides itself on being a sound, smart, responsive, and responsible business.
Our citizenship programs incorporate both responsible business practices and social investment programs. The programs are designed to improve the communities in which we operate, build trust in our company, empower our employees, and promote engagement with customers, partners, and shareholders.
Responsible Business Practices
At Cisco, responsible business practices include corporate accountability and environmental and social sustainability. Our Code of Business Conduct
and other policies help ensure the integrity of our corporate governance and guide the transparency and openness of our reporting. It applies to our Cisco employees and subsidiaries. We also expect our suppliers and resellers to adhere to its contents. It sets out the legal and ethical standards of conduct we expect our employees to meet in their business dealings. In short, these practices help us build better products for our customers as well as a better workplace for our employees.
Social Investment Programs
Cisco is also invested in a number of programs to benefit the societies and communities in which we operate. We contribute innovative technologies, employee expertise, as well as grants to help build strong communities. These programs provide support for education and economic development, through grants and product donations, and employee volunteering. By investing in key opportunities within emerging, developing, and developed nations, we help improve global social and economic development.
