Human rights in the supply chain Our external manufacturing partners and suppliers are an important extension of our operations. How our products are made matters. Powering a more just and inclusive future begins with protecting the human rights and wellbeing of the workers in our supply chain—and respecting the communities and ecosystems in which our suppliers are located. The role of Cisco’s Supply Chain Organization to support our human rights commitments is to: ● Set standards and evaluate risk. ● Assess supplier conformance to those standards and help them improve. ● Implement targeted initiatives for specific risks. ● Establish governance and accountability. ● Engage externally to drive progress. The organization works across three program areas: ● Supplier Code of Conduct and Human Rights ● Responsible Mineral Sourcing ● Environmental Stewardship Our Cisco Supplier Code of Conduct sets standards for labor, health and safety, environment, ethics, and management systems in our supply chain. As a founding member of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), Cisco contributed to the development of the RBA Code of Conduct (RBA Code) and adopted the RBA Code as our own Supplier Code of Conduct . We hold our suppliers—and their suppliers—accountable to the Supplier Code of Conduct and other responsible sourcing policies consistent with Cisco’s Global Human Rights Policy and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) .
