Cisco

Cisco, a US-based computer and related services company, has set ambitious climate targets including achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by fiscal year 2040, using a fiscal year 2019 baseline. This long-term net-zero commitment, along with its near-term targets, has been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

For the most recent reported fiscal year, 2025, Cisco's total GHG emissions are approximately 20.37 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 24.38 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of approximately 131,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 20.29 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, in fiscal year 2024, Cisco's total GHG emissions were about 19.82 billion kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of 32.65 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based emissions of 28.42 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 19.77 billion kg CO2e. In fiscal year 2023, total GHG emissions were about 25.99 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 39.51 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 market-based at 81.81 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at roughly 25.88 billion kg CO2e.

Cisco's near-term targets, with a fiscal year 2019 baseline, include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2025. Additionally, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, upstream transportation and distribution, and use of sold products by 30% by fiscal year 2030. They also have a goal for 80% of their component, manufacturing, and logistics suppliers by spend to have a public, absolute GHG emissions reduction target by fiscal year 2025. Cisco commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2040.
