Acacia Communications, Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Cisco Systems, Inc.

Acacia Communications, Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of Cisco Systems, Inc., which influences its climate commitments and reporting practices. Acacia's climate initiatives and reduction targets are cascaded from Cisco Systems, Inc. This includes adherence to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), both of which are integral to their sustainability strategy. However, specific reduction targets or achievements for Acacia are not detailed in the available data. As part of its corporate family relationship with Cisco, Acacia aligns with industry-standard climate commitments, although no explicit climate pledges or reduction targets have been documented for the company itself. The lack of specific emissions data suggests that Acacia is still in the process of establishing its own comprehensive climate strategy, potentially leveraging the frameworks and targets set by its parent company.
