Cisco has adopted a holistic approach to managing our environmental impacts and helping our customers manage theirs. We are pursuing greater sustainability in all that we do with a global executive commitment to a "green" vision and strategy, an ISO 14001-certified environmental management system (EMS), and active engagement of our employees throughout our business. Our StrategyNetwork technologies are central to our strategy for addressing the environmental impacts of our operations and our customers' operations. Over the coming years the network will be the key technology enabler to monitor, manage, and reduce environmental impacts. We aim to use networks, and our increasing ability to extend the reach and impact of these networks, to deliver solutions for energy and resource management on a global basis, and apply these solutions to our own operations. KPIs and GoalsWe have adopted a set of environmental key performance indicators (KPIs)
Environmental Management SystemCisco's ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) provides a set of processes and practices that guide environmental activities at Cisco sites, as well as at the corporate level. As stated in Cisco's Corporate Environmental Policy, GovernanceCisco's environmental vision and strategy is managed by the Cisco EcoBoard, which is composed of 14 senior executives who represent key global business functions. The EcoBoard is supported by over a dozen workgroups that plan and implement targeted initiatives. The leaders of each workgroup make up the Green Task Force (GTF), which provides critical cross-functional planning, management, monitoring, and coordination of Cisco's environmental programs. Employee EngagementThrough our Quarterly Environmental Newsletter, Environmental Aspect Team Dashboard, Eco-Dashboard, and Cisco Green website, employees can educate themselves on Cisco's environmental strategy, activities, and performance. Launched on Earth Day 2009, our Think Green, Act Green campaign has collected over 1200 employee pledges to implement environmentally sustainable behaviors in the workplace. In FY09, we also held our first online Earth Day Fair, where employees could engage in virtual trainings and events related to environmental sustainability. AdvocacyCisco actively engages with governments and standard-setting bodies around the world to monitor and influence the development of emerging regulations, particularly around climate change. In FY09, Cisco participated in many environmental policy committees and councils of trade associations in the United States, Europe, and Japan, and in external collaborations such as the Global e-Sustainability Initiative, Learn More
