Sustainability

Cisco is re-thinking the way we provide products and services to our customers. We want to reuse more of our equipment, so that we recycle less. We can also re-manufacture and refurbish the products we make, so and give them new life with more customers.

At Cisco, we are the builders of bridges. In our circular economy initiatives, we strive to bridge the gap between technological innovation and sustainable development.

In celebration of Earth Day, we spoke to three Cisco experts about how our teams and individuals are driving Cisco’s leadership in sustainability.

We are proud to announce that Cisco was awarded three Climate Leadership Awards yesterday for excellence in greenhouse gas (GHG) management and supply chain leadership.

On Tuesday of this week, both CDP and Corporate Knights announced the results of their 2018 assessment of thousands of global companies in the areas of climate change and the broader topic of sustainability.

Employees across Cisco spent Green Week participating in local, environmentally-friendly activities to reduce their carbon footprints.

By engaging diverse stakeholders, sharing best practices, and challenging our employees, our future employees, and entrepreneurs to step up, we can all be global problem solvers for a more sustainable planet, and a brighter future for all.

We know that meaningful action is needed if we are going to help bend the curve of emission reductions towards 2020. Learn more about our supply chain efforts in FY19 and beyond.

Today we are announcing a product power efficiency goal: improve large rack-mounted-equipment system power efficiency from 77% to 87% by 2022 using an FY2016 baseline.
