Powering an Inclusive Future for All

Sustainability is one of the most existential challenges our world faces today and is an increasing priority for our customers. Cisco is committed to continuing to invest in technology and innovation to accelerate impact at scale.

Cisco has been reporting on sustainability since 2005, and we continue to set and execute our goals. Like many of our customers and partners, Cisco has announced its goal to reaching net zero by 2040 across its value chain.

Cisco is one of the first technology hardware and equipment companies to have its goal approved under the new Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard.

Cisco products and technologies can help to reduce energy consumption, which can result in a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and waste, improve energy efficiency, and enable more circular business models.

The evolution of sustainability priorities is quite remarkable. Gone are the days when the focus was solely on risk management and compliance. Today, sustainability is being seen as a catalyst for driving business outcomes, innovation, and creating a competitive edge. To support this shift, companies are increasingly turning to technology, leveraging IT to advance their sustainability agenda. #CiscoSustainability

Where are you on your Sustainability Journey?

IDC has designed a Sustainability Maturity Index that describes the stages and provides a way to guide and measure progress. To continue the research, we are asking Cisco Live attendees to participate in a IDC Sustainability Assessment Survey. You can fill out this survey here or in the Sustainability Zone at Cisco Live.

Once you complete the survey, you will receive a free customized report on your assessment results. We will also send you the IDC white paper, Sustainability: From Compliance and Risk Management to Creating Business Value. This white paper, sponsored by Cisco, offers recommendations as companies begin their sustainability journey.
