Cisco plans to reduce its environmental footprint by implementing a strategy focused on 100%
product return, repair, remanufacture, refurbish, and recycle. This approach aligns with the principles
of the circular economy, which aims to keep products and materials in use for as long as possible,
thereby minimizing waste and resource consumption. By ensuring that products are returned for
repair or remanufacturing instead of being discarded, Cisco reduces the need for new raw materials
and cuts down on electronic waste, contributing to a more sustainable supply chain.
This commitment also reflects Cisco’s broader goals of reducing carbon emissions, promoting
resource efficiency, and fostering sustainability across its product lifecycle.
