In 2024, Cisco Systems, Inc. reported total greenhouse gas emissions of approximately 17,092,306,000 kg CO2e across all scopes. This includes 32,562,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 28,418,000 kg CO2e from market-based Scope 2 emissions, and a significant 17,092,306,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions, which encompasses various categories such as purchased goods and services, use of sold products, and employee commuting. Cisco has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by fiscal year 2040, using fiscal year 2019 as a baseline. The company has established near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2030, and to cut Scope 3 emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and use of sold products by 30% by the same year. In previous years, Cisco has made notable progress in its emissions reduction efforts. For instance, in 2023, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 39,514,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of about 81,806,000 kg CO2e. The company has also committed to reducing its Scope 1 emissions by 50% from a 2020 baseline by 2030, and Scope 2 emissions by 30% from the same baseline. Cisco's climate strategy is aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), ensuring that its targets are consistent with the reductions required to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The company continues to monitor its progress and adapt its strategies to meet these critical environmental goals.
