1 According to industry standards, RBA Audits are valid for two years from the date of the Initial audit.

2 Initial audits cover the full scope of the RBA Code as opposed to "Closure" audits, which address nonconformances identified in an Initial audit.

3 The RBA is an industry standard scheme that allows suppliers of multiple customers to demonstrate conformance to a single responsible business conduct standard. Number of workers represents all the workers in the supplier facility, not just those supporting Cisco business.

See here for more information on RBA audits.

Corrective Action Plans (CAPs)

Closure rate of Priority and Major nonconformances¹	FY24 99%	FY25 99%
% of in-scope CAPs reviewed by Cisco²	FY24 100%	FY25 100%

1 We do not include working hours and social insurance nonconformances when calculating closure rates, as they can take longer to implement than RBA's recommended closure guidelines. Of the nonconformances that were not closed during the year, most were due to specific permits awaiting government approval and related activities that did not pose particular risks to workers or the environment.

2 CAPs are opened for any audit that does not achieve all the following criteria: RBA Gold Recognition, full conformance with Prohibition of Forced Labor and Young Workers requirements in the RBA Code, and no Major nonconformances to the rest of the RBA Code.

See here for more information on CAPs.

Emissions Data

Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions

The table below summarizes our Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Details on Cisco’s energy and Scope 1 and 2 emissions reductions efforts are included on the Clean Energy page of the Purpose Reporting Hub.

Data, data sources, and methodologies used in quantifying and reporting GHG emissions are continuously evolving. We strive to monitor developments regarding these matters with a view to enhancing our calculations and data on an ongoing basis in accordance with Cisco policies.

1 Historical emissions data may vary from previous publicly reported values, either in the most recent CDP response or previous versions of our Purpose Reporting Hub. This is due to updated reporting guidance, emissions factors, adjustments for acquisitions or divestitures, or correction of inconsistencies found during review. We report up-to-date data available as our methodologies improve.

2 In fiscal 2025, we recalculated our fiscal 2019 Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions base year in accordance with our internal policy to reflect structural changes resulting from acquisitions and divestitures, specifically due to Cisco's acquisition of Splunk in fiscal 2024. Scope 1 and 2 emissions resulting from our Splunk acquisition are included in Cisco's fiscal 2025 reporting.

Scope 1 and 2 Emissions Methodology

Cisco uses the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard as the basis for our Scope 1 and 2 calculations. We report market- and location-based Scope 2 emissions. Of the seven GHGs covered by the GHG Protocol (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, HFCs, PFCs, SF₆, and NF₃), four (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, and HFCs) are applicable to our operations. We report Scope 1 and 2 emissions based on operations over which we have operational control. Emissions calculations include all relevant sources of emissions across facilities and operations under the company's operational control including owned, partially owned and leased facilities, as well as vehicles such as mobile fleet and private jets.

Cisco used the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth and Sixth Assessment Report 100-year values as the source for global warming potentials, in line with GHG Protocol guidance. Emission factors from the following databases were used for its fiscal 2025 GHG inventory: EPA 2025 GHG Emission Factors Hub; U.K. DESNZ/BEIS datasheet Conversion Factors (2025); International Energy Agency (IEA) Emissions Factors 2025 Database, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) eGRID 2023 Summary Tables, Association of Issuing Bodies Residual Mixes and European Attribute Mix of 2025, Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) Green-e 2022 Summary Tables, ADEME Bilan Carbone database (2025), and country-specific location-based electricity emission factors for Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, and United Kingdom provided from the respective countries' governments.

Scope 3 GHG Emissions

The table below summarizes our Scope 3 emissions. For information about specific Scope 3 categories, please reference the methodology information below, or 7.5 and 7.8 of our 2025 CDP response. Important context for understanding the values provided:

Data, data sources, and methodologies used in quantifying and reporting GHG emissions are continuously evolving. We strive to monitor developments regarding these matters with a view to enhancing our calculations and data on an ongoing basis in accordance with Cisco policies.
Scope 3 figures can vary from year to year based on various factors; for example, changes in sales and supply chain spend.
Every year, companies reporting GHG emissions as part of CDP’s supply chain program submit data for their last completed fiscal year for which data is available. In Cisco’s case, we reported fiscal 2024 data in September 2025, because our fiscal 2025 data was not yet available. Therefore, we will report fiscal 2025 data in 2026 to CDP.
In fiscal 2025, we undertook a recalculation of certain historical emissions metrics, including those pertaining to our fiscal 2019 base year, in accordance with our internal policy. This policy is aligned with the principles of the GHG Protocol and establishes a framework for determining when a change is significant to warrant an adjustment to previously reported emissions data, including that of our base year. Such recalculations may arise from (among others) structural changes resulting from acquisitions or divestitures, enhancements in calculation methodologies or data quality, modifications to the scope of categories or activities within our inventory, or the correction of significant errors. The revisions made in fiscal 2025 to our historical emissions resulted mainly from enhancement in calculation methodologies and quality of data used, updates to externally sourced emissions factors, as well as the addition of Cisco's relevant acquisitions.

Scope 3 Emissions Methodologies

The majority of Cisco's emissions footprint is attributable to the use of our products, our supply chain, and other indirect emissions sources. For information about specific Scope 3 categories, please see the descriptions below, or reference question 7.8 of our 2025 CDP response. Cisco calculates our Scope 3 GHG emissions based on the GHG Protocol Technical Guidance for Calculating Scope 3 Emissions (version 1.0).

Scope 3 Methodologies/Details

Category 1: Purchased Goods and Services	Description Category 1 includes emissions from Cisco's manufacturing, component, and warehousing Tier 1, 2, and 3+ suppliers and our indirect suppliers. Emissions are allocated based on Cisco’s financial share of suppliers’ reported global Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions through CDP for our Tier 1 and 2 suppliers and a subset of our indirect procurement suppliers, and using an environmentally extended input-output model (EEIO) for our Tier 3+ suppliers and the rest of our indirect procurement suppliers.

Scope 1-3 Assurance Statements

Each year, independent third parties provide limited assurance reviews of our GHG Scope 1-3 emissions, selected goals, energy consumption, renewable electricity percentage, biogenic emission, carbon removals, water, and waste data.

For fiscal 2025, Cisco obtained limited assurance from an independent assurance provider for our GHG Scope 1, 2, and Scope 3 category 3 emissions, energy consumption, biogenic emissions, renewable electricity percentage, and our carbon removals. This review was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the AICPA in AT-C section 105, Concepts Common to All Attestation Engagements, and AT-C section 210, Review Engagement. Cisco's assurance statement for this review is available here.

A separate independent assurance provider will complete the assurance on the remaining Scope 3 emissions, water, and waste data, as well as selected progress against goals. This review will be conducted in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements ISAE 3000 (Revised) 'Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information' and ISAE3410 for GHG data issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and ISO 14064:3 for GHG data. Upon completion of the limited assurance engagement, the assurance statement will be provided here.

Non-GHG Emissions

Because our production is outsourced to supply chain partners, our global operations primarily consist of standard office activities and research labs. This limits our non-GHG emissions to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products, nitrogen oxides (NO_x), and sulfur oxides (SO_x) from onsite fuel combustion (from vehicle engines, boilers, or emergency generators), and the subsequent formation of ozone from the photochemical reaction of NO_x.

We comply with applicable California Air Resources Board requests and do not use mechanical equipment, such as gasoline-powered lawnmowers, after 11 a.m. on designated Spare the Air days, when air quality is poor in the San Francisco Bay Area. We also have policies and procedures in place and work with our supply chain partners regarding substances restricted by regulations from use in manufacturing, as applicable.

1 In fiscal 2024, Cisco revised its methodology for calculating water consumed by estimating that 50% of total water withdrawn at major campus locations with irrigation and cooling tower systems is evaporated, therefore considered consumed. The estimate is based on the EPA WaterSense whitepaper, "Water Efficiency in the Commercial and Institutional Sector: Considerations for a WaterSense Program, published August 2009. We intend to further refine this estimation methodology in future years.

1 In fiscal 2025, the fiscal 2021to fiscal 2025 data was restated to include e-Waste generated within Cisco sites, which is managed separately and recycled using Cisco's reverse logistics recycling partners. In fiscal 2025, total e-Waste generated in operations was 2,329 MT, which makes up approximately 44% of total operational waste generated including e-Waste. If e-Waste were excluded, Cisco's waste diversion rate would be 74%. All emissions are included in Scope 3 Category 5.
