Cisco

Cisco, a US-headquartered company in the Computer and related services industry, reported global Scope 1 emissions of 24,382,000 kg CO2e in 2025. Their Scope 2 market-based emissions for the same year were 131,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalled 20,286,916,000 kg CO2e. This includes significant contributions from the use of sold products (about 12 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 7.15 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, in 2024, Cisco's global Scope 1 emissions were 32,652,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were 28,418,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reached 19,767,693,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, the company's global Scope 1 emissions were 39,514,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions were 81,806,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions were 25,879,741,000 kg CO2e.

Cisco has set ambitious climate commitments validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). They aim to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their entire value chain by fiscal year 2040, using a fiscal year 2019 baseline. This includes near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2030 (from a fiscal year 2019 base year). They also commit to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and the use of sold products by 30% by fiscal year 2030, also against a fiscal year 2019 base year. For the long-term, Cisco is targeting a 90% absolute reduction in Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by fiscal year 2040 from the same 2019 baseline.

Earlier targets included reducing total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions worldwide by 60% absolute by fiscal year 2022, with a fiscal year 2007 baseline. More recently, Cisco committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2025 compared to fiscal year 2019, while neutralising any remaining emissions.
