Corporate Responsibility

In all aspects of our business we maintain awareness of the social and environmental implications of our actions and inactions. We do all we can to promote fairness and wellbeing. We apply no discrimination towards staff or those with whom we do business on grounds of race, sex, beliefs, or indeed any traits which the person holds.

In every step of our processes we seek to minimise or negate any deleterious effect on the environment. We vet our suppliers to ensure that our entire chain is doing its best to adhere to best practice for environmental concerns. We also actively take part in the replanting of trees worldwide.

We have a zero-tolerance approach to modern slavery and are fully committed to preventing slavery and human trafficking in our operation and supply chain. We have taken concrete steps to tackle modern slavery. We have actively taken steps to identify potential modern slavery risks related to our business, and to implement action to prevent slavery and human trafficking.

Cisco's technology can also be used to help the world prepare for the consequences of a changing world and a changing climate—such as to monitor grid reliability, enable grid decarbonization, monitor transportation and water systems, and support the workplace of the future. For example, through WebEx by Cisco, AnyConnect VPN, and TelePresence, Cisco is providing the tools that make it possible for millions of employees to work from home daily. These technologies can also help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with commuting and other business travel. For nearly 40 years, Cisco has been helping businesses, communities, and countries transition to a digital economy. Now, Cisco is helping them adapt to a low-carbon circular economy as well.
