(Pg. 76) "In September 2021, Cisco committed to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, 10 years ahead of the time by which climate scientists say the planet must reach net zero to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Our net zero goal covers Cisco’s full carbon footprint, including the use of our products, our operations, and our supply chain. We plan to pursue approval for this goal from the Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and will provide updates on our progress in future Purpose Reports."
"Our current goal to reduce supply chain-related Scope 3 emissions by 30 percent absolute by fiscal 2030 (compared to fiscal 2019) also builds upon a previous goal. In 2019, we met our goal to avoid 1 million metric tonnes of CO2e in our supply chain one year early. Other near-term targets will cover the company’s most relevant Scope 3 categories, such as the use of our products, and will be made public as they are finalized in fiscal 2022."
