In an era where businesses are embracing the vital role of sustainability, Cisco Customer Experience (CX) is here to support you on your sustainability journey. We’re thrilled to share we are expanding our sustainability services and weaving environmental solutions into the fabric of our offers. Through Cisco Lifecycle Services and individual assessments, we’re now providing services that demonstrate how invested we are in helping you succeed in your sustainability goals.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Our journey toward sustainability is marked by significant achievements that initially helped Cisco shape, scale, and sustain our transformation. Cisco’s dedication to environmentally responsible practices resulted in a 41% reduction in our data center floor space and a remarkable $1.5 million in savings through reusing materials reclaimed after data center closures between 2019 and 2021. Moreover, our commitment to clean energy is evident, with 100% of Cisco’s U.S. data center electricity and 72% of global data center electricity obtained from renewable sources.
The core of all these efforts reflects our holistic approach to sustainability. From how we run our business and interact with suppliers to how we guide customers and communities to reduce their environmental footprint and adapt to a changing world — it’s all interconnected.
