Powering an Inclusive Future for All Bringing our purpose to life At Cisco, our purpose is to Power an Inclusive Future for All. We defined this purpose in early fiscal 2020 and here are a few examples of how Cisco’s investments and technologies are making a difference in people’s lives. For future generations The Cisco Foundation has committed to invest US$100 million over 10 years to help reverse the impacts of climate change—so that our children can inherit a livable planet. For Jax Hahn People with autism spectrum disorder often face barriers to career paths. Exceptional Academy, which delivers Cisco Networking Academy courses to students like Jax Hahn, is preparing people with disabilities for careers in IT. For the Black community As part of our Social Justice Beliefs and Actions , Cisco has made a US$150 million commitment to support students and modernize the technology capabilities at historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
