Cisco Systems, Inc., a computer and related services company headquartered in the US, reported a total of approximately 20.5 billion kg CO2e in emissions for fiscal year 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. In fiscal year 2024, Cisco's total emissions were approximately 19.8 billion kg CO2e. For fiscal year 2023, the company's total emissions were approximately 25.9 billion kg CO2e. Cisco has established ambitious climate commitments. Notably, the company has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2030, using fiscal year 2019 as a baseline. Furthermore, Cisco aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by fiscal year 2040, also from a fiscal year 2019 baseline. Additional targets include a commitment to reduce 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, compared to the fiscal year 2019 baseline. Cisco has also set a target to reduce Scope 2 emissions by 30% from a 2020 baseline by 2030. For Scope 1 emissions, the company aims for a 50% reduction from a 2020 baseline by 2030. Cisco's climate targets have been assessed and are considered consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company's overall net-zero target across the value chain by FY2040 is also aligned with the 1.5°C pathway.
