Corporate social responsibility at Cisco From our earliest days, Cisco’s founders understood the power of our technology to create positive outcomes on a global scale. Through the years, however, we’ve learned that even the most transformative technology is of little value if people don’t have the tools or the skills to use it. This understanding of what our products make possible—especially when combined with education and skills building—formed the foundation for meaningful corporate social responsibility (CSR) at Cisco. Today, our commitment to CSR starts at the top with our Board and senior leadership and is embedded throughout the organization. Because Cisco’s purpose to Power an Inclusive Future for All is deeply tied to all aspects of CSR, our CSR Report is now the Cisco Purpose Report. Cisco’s actions are grounded in our Conscious Culture, where trustworthiness and ethical conduct are expected and supported among our employees, suppliers, and business partners. Corporate Affairs, as part of Cisco’s People, Policy, and Purpose organization, stewards Cisco’s strategic approach to CSR, including social investment programs and environmental sustainability. The organization also oversees our commitments to CSR performance and transparency.
