Inclusive Act boldly and deliberately to accelerate fairness, inclusion, and equitable access to opportunity Our Progress: ● Launched the Inclusive Future Action Office to hold Cisco accountable for achieving our 12 Social Justice Actions. ● Sustained 80 percent employee community impact for the second year in a row through an inclusive approach. ● 716 million A people positively impacted through our social impact grants and signature programs as of the end of fiscal 2021. ● Held our biggest Cisco Global Problem Solver Challenge yet, giving away US$1 million in prizes to social entrepreneurs. ● Achieved the greatest participation in Cisco Networking Academy in our history, and introduced Skills for All, a free, mobile-first platform for learning technology skills. What does it mean for the future to be inclusive? We believe it’s nothing short of reimagining how we work and how we invest in solutions to global challenges. Among Cisco's people , true inclusion means many things: Achieving a deeper sense of communication and collaboration within teams. Respecting one another’s identities and the various roles we play inside and outside of work. And recognizing that when we give people the flexibility to choose how and where they are most productive, working remotely can actually bring us closer together. An inclusive future is also one in which we use our resources to help underserved and vulnerable communities thrive. Cisco partners with nonprofits and invests in early-stage technologies to address some of the world’s greatest challenges, such as responding to natural disasters, meeting critical human needs, addressing inequities in education, and giving people the skills and resources to succeed in the digital economy. As technology continues to advance, Cisco envisions a future in which no one is left behind—neither the people who design and sell our solutions nor communities around the world.
