Cisco’s Green Vision

How a Small Part of the Problem
Can Be a Big Part of the Solution
 According to the SMART 2020
Report, ICT could reduce
global emissions up to 15%
by 2020; five times its own
footprint in 2020.
 Key requirements to capture
opportunity:
New Business Models
Energy Efficiency
R&D Investments
New Ecosystems
New Regulatory Models
Active Carbon Markets

Commitment to Standards
By actively participating in these
organizations, groups, and others.
Cisco is playing a
leadership role in
the development
and consistent
application of
environmental
standards.

Sustainable Company Operations
 Energy efficiency and responsible use of
scarce resources in our labs, data centers
and office buildings.
 Strategic procurement of renewable energy
in our operations.
 Lowering energy consumption, reducing
business air travel, and using technology
to reduce our overall GHG emissions.
 Understanding and reducing our
environmental impacts and helping others
do the same.
 Involving employees in all aspects of the
company’s environmental efforts.

Understanding Our Impact
Cisco’s Environmental Data Tool (EDT)
is a Cisco developed energy and GHG
management tool
 EDT enables a corporate-wide facility
inventory of GHG emissions and creates a
framework for gathering and reporting
corporate environmental metrics
 EDT can be used to track GHG emissions
associated with electricity, natural gas, diesel
fuel, propane, and refrigerants used or
consumed by facilities.

From Carbon to Collaboration
Cisco’s 2006 Clinton Global Initiative Carbon-
to-Collaboration commitment is to reduce
emissions from business air travel by 10
percent, using FY06 as a baseline.

Greener Events
 Event Marketer magazine recognized
Cisco’s 2008 CIO Summit with a silver
award in the Best Green Event/Tradeshow
category of its annual Ex Awards.
 In May 2009, Cisco held its inaugural Virtual
Strategic Leadership Offsite. More than
3,000 participants rated the event a 4.3 on a
scale from 1-5 (5 being the highest rating).
 In September 2009, 19,000 sales
employees gathered for GSX — the first
ever program of it’s size. The event saved
150,000 hours in air travel and reduced
Cisco’s carbon emissions by 37,500 tons

Green Value Chain Management
 Cisco Consumer Products Group is now shipping 92
products in consumer packaging that uses an average of
38% less paper, or in blister packaging that use 50% less
plastic, than before.
Ensuring that all Cisco products can be
sourced, manufactured, and sold
anywhere, any time, in a socially
responsible manner.
 In January 2008 Aberdeen’s “Supply Chain Executives
Strategic Report” highlighted Cisco as a case study on how
to drive end-to-end sustainability throughout the supply
chain.
 In FY09, more than 40 areas of environmental packaging
innovation were implemented, reducing annualized
packaging volume by 4 million pounds and removing
petroleum based foam with 100% recyclable
plastics.
 Eliminating printed circuit board “burn in” is being deployed
across Cisco platforms, allowing for 5000MWh of energy
savings per year and reducing associated carbon
emissions of 3000 metric tonnes.

Efficient Use of Power in Our
Buildings, Labs and Data Centers
Both emissions and costs can be reduced through improved
management facilitated by networking. Cisco has developed and
is piloting two software programs designed to achieve greater
energy efficiency in our company’s operations.
 Cisco’s Automated Management Power
System (AMPS) powers down equipment
when it is not in use.
 Cisco’s EMAN is a web-based system that
monitors and reports on equipment power
status, sending prompts when equipment
has been left on.
 The use of these programs is projected
to result in an annual energy savings of
5.8 million kilowatt hours representing
more than $800,000 in cost savings and
rebates.

Reducing Water Use
Conserving water ensures availability
and allows Cisco to save and reinvest
these utility costs.
 Low-flow auto-shutoff faucets in our Boxborough facility
and waterless urinals in our San Jose headquarters are
reducing water consumption by more than 11.8 million
gallons per year.
 We use web-based technology to automate and optimize
water schedules.
 At product fabrication sites, recycled water is being
used for the cooling of PCB ovens, driving our water
conservation efforts through to our supply chain.
 Cisco uses reclaimed water for landscaping and similar
applications. In California alone, we are saving more
than 81 million gallons of water each year.
 Washing of PCBs with water during the manufacturing
process is being eliminated. In FY09, 86% of Cisco PCBs
were produced without such washing.

Managing Operational Waste
Cisco strives to manage, reduce, or
eliminate operational waste — which
includes office, landscaping, and
cafeteria wastes.
 In San Jose, more than 75% of the total waste
stream is now diverted from the landfill.
 In our Brussels office, an employee education
program and installation of new recycling
bins boosted the recycling rate from 40 to 80
percent in 2007.
 We estimate that the amount of energy saved
through Cisco’s recycling efforts amounts to
35 million kilowatt hours annually.

Green Power Purchasing
In September 2009, Cisco was named an industry leader in
environmental sustainability by the Carbon Disclosure Project
(CDP) and Newsweek’s 2009 Corporate Green Rankings list.
In October 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
ranked Cisco the seventh largest Fortune 500 purchaser of
renewable energy in the United States.

in their daily workplace lives by making a pledge to
the Think Green, Act Green pledge page, actively
contributing toward achieving Cisco’s green goals.
 Cisco employees participate in global events such as
beach and park cleanups, tree planting, eScrap
collection, Earth Day, and Bike to Work Day.
Cisco seeks to inspire employees to help
make the workplace more energy- and
resource-efficient, as well as to engender
pride in Cisco’s environmental actions.
