人类面临的最严重和最复杂的挑战之一是扭转气候变化的发展。它已经影响了全球的人和生态系统，并对穷人和脆弱的影响不成比例。因此，我们为保护地球所做的工作直接与我们保护人权，健康和福祉（包括我们供应链中的工人在内的人权，健康和福祉）的努力有关。

思科正在采取行动，为我们的价值链中的工人和社区以及我们所有人在这个星球上集体地推动更公正和可持续的未来。这项工作包括设计我们的产品和包装以消除浪费，并管理这些产品的生命周期以减少资源消耗并使我们的产品使用更长的时间。我们还与供应商合作，以改善环境管理，并降低与污染和化学使用相关的风险。从矿产提取到组件制造和最终组装，我们正在促进保护人权和工人福祉的保护。

Combating climate change

如今，可持续性金博宝怎么注册是业务的必要性。许多欧洲政府以及欧盟都将抵抗气候变化的斗争置于重中之重，雄心勃勃的目标是到2050年成为第一个气候中立大陆。在美国，拜登总统在他的第一天重新加入了《巴黎协定在办公室里，他设定了到2050年将美国碳中和的目标。我相信我们会看到更多国家采用这些类型的目标和优先事项。

In terms of Cisco’s operations and global supply chain, we want to be bold and drive positive change in our industry and beyond. We have set ambitious goals and committed the necessary resources to make meaningful progress in reducing our environmental impact and accelerating our contributions to a circular economy. For example, by 2025, we have committed that 100 percent of new Cisco products and packaging will incorporate circular design principles. Cisco has also pledged 100 percent product return as part of our commitment to thePACE Capital Equipment Coalition.

减少使用原始塑料的使用也是我们的优先事项，作为我们在产品中使用的材料，包装以及全球对塑料废物的关注。世界各地公司使用的塑料量对环境造成了极大的破坏。如果我们可以使用更多可再生材料，我们可以在减少影响力方面做出重大凹痕。这就是为什么我们致力于decrease our use of virgin plastic by 20 percentcompared to 2018.

我们还与物流和制造合作伙伴合作，以减少其环境影响。我们设定了目标将我们与供应链相关的范围3温室气体（GHG）排放量减少30％绝对到2030年。更广泛地说，思科致力于通过减少产品使用过程中的能源消耗的努力以及我们的能源效率提高和可再生能源采购来解决气候变化的影响。与2007年相比，我们已经将范围1和2温室气体的排放量减少了55％。我们从风，太阳能和水力发电来源中获得了思科全球总电量的83％。

Additionally, we are seeing an increase in opportunities to leverage our technology to support transitions to more sustainable and circular business models, whether with our partners or customers or in broader collaborative initiatives. From agriculture to fashion, smart cities and the transition to digital technologies such as IoT, there is significant potential to enable every private and public sector vertical to reduce their emissions, improve their resource efficiency and switch to more circular business models.

保护工人的权利和福祉

We are committed to addressing social injustice because we believe it is the right thing to do. There are more than 75,000 employees at Cisco and an additional 25,000 people that work in our extended supply chain making our products. Given the global presence of our operation, we think about social justice issues from many dimensions, including how we address potential impacts on our workforce. We work to support our people with a culture that is beneficial to all. We are focused on utilizing resources to take action and drive meaningful change, and we encourage our employees, suppliers, communities and partners to join us in addressing inequities in our communities.

Covid-19在全球范围内对我们如何重建一个更公正和可持续的社会引起了人们的兴趣。例如，在大流行之前，移民工人已经成为世界上最脆弱的各种形式剥削的人之一。健康危机严重升级了这种情况。我们致力于确保供应链中的工人维持人权。

In ourCOVID-19指南to suppliers, we reiterated that it’s unethical and never acceptable to exploit desperate or vulnerable job seekers. We are continuing our work to stop forced labor risks, through remote assessments and investigations where onsite audits are difficult due to the pandemic. We also strictly enforce our no recruitment fees policy and continue to push remediation, understanding that vulnerable workers need relief. And we followed up with key suppliers to ensure they had COVID-19 practices in place to support foreign migrant workers, and to provide medical treatment and isolate COVID-19 cases in dormitories.

How it’s made matters

We are focused on climate change and human rights issues because they matter. Not only now, but in terms of what the world will look like in 50 or 100 years. Having a social and environmentally responsible supply chain is not just about setting a baseline and working with suppliers to meet that expectation. It’s about identifying best practices and propagating them throughout our value chain. We do this through collaboration with stakeholders, and work to raise the bar for our industry. We engage our suppliers to broaden their perspectives, influence them to care about the same issues we do, and drive them towards sustainable practices.

I believe everyone can make an impact and participate in our mission. I encourage you to read our2020 Corporate Social Responsibility Impact Report了解更多。
