Earth Month reminds us of our role as stewards of the planet's vast network of life. With Cisco's ambitious goals to achieve net zero emissions and integrate Circular Design Principles, we all play a part in this journey. Make sustainable choices, not just during Earth Month, but all year round. Together, we can build a more sustainable, inclusive future.
Cisco has made sustainability a priority for many years, and we recently launched Cisco’s next generation environmental sustainability strategy. As a part of that, we have also set a goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our value chain by 2040.
Cisco is innovating to help our customers lower emissions, increase energy efficiency, reduce their carbon footprint, as well as provide visibility and insights to support our customer’s sustainability initiatives. Here are practical steps to getting started on the Net Zero journey.
Sustainable transportation plays a key role in the transition to a low-carbon economy. As transportation organizations analyze their impact, they are setting GHG emissions reduction goals and accelerating technologies that support electrification, autonomous vehicles, and mobility as a service. Cisco's transportation solutions help support their sustainability journey.
As we look to 2023, we see a transformation in how applications, connectivity, and security are delivered and consumed. An immersive future that is “sustainable by default” will require new technologies built with new processes, and in service to new business models. The future is taking shape, and here’s what I see coming in the year ahead.
Financial institutions are near the center of sustainability solutions and are in a unique position to help accelerate green development. They have tremendous pressure from shareholders, consumers, employees, and regulators to move not only financial services but other industries.
One year ago, Cisco committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040. Cisco’s first Chief Sustainability Officer, Mary de Wysocki, reflects on our journey so far.
The scale and urgency of the global environmental challenge is undeniable. Getting to Net Zero emissions quickly requires harnessing every available technology, innovating at scale, and thinking creatively. Read about our Smart Zero report that describes the role of digital in meeting Net Zero targets.
Progressing towards net zero emissions is important, but none of us can deliver a sustainable future and tackle climate change alone. By connecting, we can make real progress together.
