Accelerating fairness and equity everywhere is one of the most powerful ways that Cisco can power an inclusive future. By creating innovative models of engaging across our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and communities and making tangible commitments to drive transformational change, we’re signaling that Cisco is part of the collective. We're ready to take bold, brave, and deliberate action in service of our beliefs and purpose. Cisco’s Social Justice Beliefs Our purpose is fueled by what we believe. These Beliefs inform how we act as a business, including our commitment to social justice. Our Beliefs are constant. They don’t go away or end. They serve as an ever-present inspiration. ● Technology for Good —We believe that technology makes the world better. We’re committed to building technology that empowers people and communities to create new possibilities. In doing so, we will not customize our technology to facilitate censorship, injustice, or oppression. ● Commitment to Justice —We believe that social justice is apolitical. It’s our calling to ensure that communities on the margins experience a world that is just, where they are valued, validated, and empowered. ● Addressing Insecurity of Being —Cisco has long believed in addressing insecurity across fundamental human needs, rights, and access. We are expanding our commitment and addressing a new area: an insecurity of being. Insecurity of being happens when one is a target of hate and violence, solely due to their existence within a marginalized group, be it in the physical or virtual world. ● Culture of Coalescence —We believe in fostering a culture that is beneficial to all. In moments when we see an opportunity to unite the whole, we will coalesce our people and our resources to take action to drive meaningful change. And we will encourage our employees, suppliers, communities, and partners to join us in working alongside diverse communities. ● Curiosity, Proximity and Empathy —We believe in modeling curiosity by continually educating ourselves about all forms of inequality and injustice. Our understanding grows when we get proximate to the most vulnerable and insecure in our communities. By engaging in curiosity, proximity, and empathy, action can ultimately be realized .
