Future Ensure a sustainable and regenerative future for our planet Our Progress: ● Set a goal to achieve net zero across all scopes of emissions by 2040, which includes the use of our products, our operations, and supply chain. ● The Cisco Foundation announced a 10-year, US$100 million commitment to fund nonprofit grants and impact investing in climate solutions. ● Met our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas and renewable energy goals one year early and set new goals for fiscal 2025. ● Trained thousands of employees on Cisco’s Circular Design Principles and began evaluating the performance of new products and packaging. Sustainability means protecting the Earth’s resources and ensuring a livable planet, not just today, but for generations to come. An inclusive future that provides promise and opportunity for all must include a deep focus on sustainability and address environmental impacts. As one of the world’s largest providers of cloud, networking, hybrid work, and security technologies, we are committed to leveraging our scale and innovation to help ensure that our increasingly digital future is sustainable, fair, and resilient. Our holistic approach to sustainability extends from how we operate our business and engage with suppliers, to how we can help customers and communities reduce their impacts and adapt to the consequences of a changing world. We are continuing to address climate change by decarbonizing our operations and transitioning to renewable energy. To that end, we’ve set a net zero goal for our entire value chain. Our technologies are the foundation of countless cloud, mobile network, video call, and digital transactions. Therefore, a critical component of reaching our net zero goal will be continuing to make our products more energy efficient and accelerating the use of renewable energy for ourselves, our customers, our suppliers, and our communities. We are also continuing to embed sustainability and circular economy principles across our business to reduce the resources we consume and the waste we generate. Our Circular Economy program focuses on how we design, build, and deliver products, manage those products for multiple lifecycles, and shape and pioneer technology solutions and services to enable circular economy value creation for our customers. Technology plays a key role in solving complex sustainability challenges, and Cisco is uniquely positioned to help customers and partners decrease their environmental footprints and enable circular models through our collaboration, IoT, and AI solutions. Cisco recognizes the importance of operating responsibly everywhere we and our suppliers are located. We take a local approach to addressing our impacts, acting as environmental stewards to address issues such as water scarcity, waste, and pollution. We are also helping others respond to the effects of climate change and jumpstarting sustainable innovation. The Cisco Foundation has made a US$100 million commitment to invest in climate solutions. Through Cisco Crisis Response , we are helping the world respond to climate-fueled natural disasters and displacements. Our annual Cisco Global Problem Solver Challenge awards US$1 million in cash prizes for new business ideas that leverage technology for social impact, including offering a US$50,000 Greenhouse Gas Solutions Prize in 2021. This moment represents an opportunity for every organization and every nation to reinvent themselves with a sustainable future in mind. With our technology, our people, and our global scale, Cisco can drive change and help deliver on the promise of a future that is both sustainable and inclusive.
