As of the latest available data, AppDynamics does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of detailed emissions data. However, the company is a current subsidiary of Cisco Systems, Inc., which has established significant climate commitments and reduction initiatives that may influence AppDynamics' environmental strategies. AppDynamics inherits its climate commitments from Cisco Systems, which has set ambitious targets through various initiatives, including the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). These initiatives aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across all scopes, particularly focusing on Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, while also addressing Scope 3 emissions through supply chain engagement. While specific reduction targets for AppDynamics are not available, Cisco's overarching goals include achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 and transitioning to 100% renewable energy in its global operations. These commitments reflect a strong corporate responsibility towards climate action, which AppDynamics is likely to align with as part of its parent company's sustainability framework. In summary, while AppDynamics does not currently report its own emissions data, it is positioned within a corporate family that prioritises significant climate commitments and reduction initiatives, primarily driven by Cisco Systems, Inc.
