7. Environmental Health and Safety Certificate (Certification III)

It is the intention of Cisco to take reasonable and practicable steps to ensure workplace safety and protect the environment in all aspects of its operations. Toward that end, Cisco has established environmental health and safety (EHS) requirements that apply to all projects, processes and operations regardless of geographic location.

Suppliers chosen to perform work on behalf of Cisco are expected (i) to fully comply with all applicable laws, regulatory requirements, and (ii) to follow Cisco’s EHS requirements.

This approach ensures that Cisco’s operations meet all local, state and federal legislative requirements, in relation to the engagement and management of contractors and the execution of projects and at the same time provides a set of best practices for suppliers to follow in all circumstances.

8. U.S. and Canada Supplier Diversity Policies (Business Designation)

Corporate and Manufacturing departments actively solicit and provide small, women-owned, small disadvantaged, minority, disabled veteran, and HUBZone business enterprises with the maximum practical opportunity to compete for supplying Cisco with goods and services.

Cisco believes purchasing products from small, women-owned, small disadvantaged, minority, disabled veteran, and HUBZone enterprises are key to the economic vitality of both Cisco and the community.

The Cisco purchasing mission is to procure the highest quality, most cost-effective materials and services using the concept of total cost of ownership. Total cost of ownership is comprised of quality, price, service, cost flexibility, responsiveness, reliability, lead-time, and technology.
