Cisco Systems, Inc. reported a total of approximately 20.5 billion kg CO2e in emissions for the fiscal year 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2 (market-based), and Scope 3 emissions. The largest contributor was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for approximately 20.3 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services and the use of sold products being significant categories. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 24.4 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were about 131,000 kg CO2e. For fiscal year 2024, total emissions were approximately 19.8 billion kg CO2e.

Cisco has established several ambitious climate commitments. Notably, the company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by fiscal year 2030, with a base year of fiscal year 2019. Furthermore, Cisco is committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 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 baseline.

The company has a long-term goal to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by fiscal year 2040, building upon its 2019 baseline. Cisco's commitment to science-based targets is evidenced by its validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for both near-term and long-term emissions reductions aligned with a 1.5°C warming scenario.

For fiscal year 2025, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 24.4 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were approximately 131,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for the same period totalled approximately 20.3 billion kg CO2e. The company's reporting for fiscal year 2025 includes Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
