By which year has Cisco committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions?

Cisco has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2040 across its entire

value chain. This ambitious target includes not only reducing direct emissions from its operations

(Scope 1) and purchased energy (Scope 2) but also addressing indirect emissions from its products,

services, and supply chain (Scope 3). Cisco’s approach includes adopting renewable energy,

improving energy efficiency in its products and operations, and working with suppliers to minimize

their carbon footprint.

The company’s sustainability strategy is aligned with global efforts to combat climate change,

including the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming.
