Our impact Embracing virtual volunteering While our total volunteer hours declined in fiscal 2021 due to the pandemic, many employees embraced virtual volunteering, as well as other remote and digital options to make a difference. During a year in which most employees worked remotely and faced significant challenges, we are proud of the many ways—both big and small—our people continued to step up and take action. For example, Cisco employees: ● Provided personalized career advice to students through Career Village ● Volunteered for crisis help lines ● Held virtual trivia night fundraisers in support of Rise Against Hunger ● Wrote thank you notes to Mercy Corps first responders As we look to the future, we are exploring ways to ensure that giving remains impactful in a hybrid working environment. While many teams are interested in getting back to in-person events, virtual volunteerism is here to stay. We are in the process of developing team give-back projects that incorporate a combination of in-person and remote contributions over time. Supporting colleagues in India During the COVID-19 surge in India in spring 2021, Cisco opened a disaster relief campaign to benefit nonprofits serving in this region. Employees quickly responded by donating funds to this important cause. Over 10,000 employees made gifts that were matched by the Cisco Foundation, for a total impact of nearly US$1.6 million. An inclusive approach to community impact Cisco's new approach to community impact celebrates the many ways that employees take positive action in their communities, including both in-person and virtual actions.
