Engagement on supply chain emissions Businesses are increasingly expected to align their operations with climate science that requires limiting warming to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels. Cisco requires manufacturing and component suppliers to disclose corporatewide GHG emissions annually through the CDP supply chain program, and encourages them to set absolute GHG reduction targets, which we believe establish the clearest accountability toward long-term GHG emissions reductions. Over the years, we’ve continued to improve our visibility into supplier performance by laying out clear and consistent expectations . These key performance indicators are embedded into the standard supplier management process and build on our own experience setting and achieving absolute reduction targets for our internal operations. In fiscal 2021, Cisco contributed to several industry efforts to educate and align expectations for IT suppliers. For the second year, we participated in a joint supplier communications letter sponsored by CDP to align around a standard set of environmental reporting priorities. We also co-hosted a training seminar with CDP to help our China-based suppliers better understand climate priorities and science-based reduction targets. In addition, Cisco worked directly with the Responsible Business Alliance to draft and approve new guidance into their Code of Conduct accountability mechanisms to evaluate suppliers against requirements for corporate GHG reduction targets. We continue to partner with leading peers to engage our suppliers on GHG emissions reductions and contribute to the development of a supplier management platform that allows us to track our suppliers’ emissions performance against science-based reduction pathways. This platform combines corporate Scope 3 targets with meaningful supplier engagement, giving suppliers and brands the ability to visualize and achieve common goals. We plan to use this platform to build long-term engagements with our highest carbon-impact suppliers. FUTURE INTRO POWER INCLUSIVE 2021 Cisco Purpose Report | csr.cisco.com | ESG Reporting Hub 82
