An inclusive future takes everyone, including future generations, into account.
At Cisco, we believe in powering an inclusive future for all by bringing communities together and creating meaningful change for everyone, including our planet. By leveraging our innovations to inspire Cisco employees, partners, and customers, we can help create a more sustainable and positive impact across the globe.
In September 2021, we made a commitment to reach net zero emissions across all scopes of our business by 2040. We are decreasing greenhouse gas emissions for product use, operations, and supply chain.
Cisco is putting people, technology, and resources toward Powering an Inclusive Future for All, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Visit our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Reporting Hub.
We set clear public goals against which we measure and report our progress. Goals we met in the last fiscal year include:
60%
reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions in FY21 (FY07 base year).
85%
of energy came from renewable sources in FY21.
20%
reduction in use of virgin plastic compared to our fiscal year 2018.
We continue to decarbonize our operations, transition to renewable energy, and increase product efficiency.
We are adapting our business models to make better use of our limited natural resources.
We uphold human rights, promote worker well-being, and reduce environmental impact along the product lifecycle.
Cisco customers are asking for our help meeting their sustainability goals, and we are responding.
It will take all of us, working together, to power an inclusive and sustainable planet.
