| Partner Profile Cisco is a worldwide leader in networking technology that transforms how people connect, communicate and collaborate. Cisco believes that technology has the power to help the world manage its environmental challenges and is using networking technology to reduce its own environmental footprint. In June 2008, the organization announced a corporate global greenhouse gas reduction goal of 25 percent in absolute terms by 2012, sending a strong message that corporate growth and environmental protection can go hand in hand. Cisco used green power both in the United States and internationally as part of its strategy to meet its greenhouse gas reduction goal, which was achieved in 2012. A 2008 EPA Green Power Partner of the Year, Cisco's annual purchase of approximately 460 million kilowatt-hours of green power is supplied from wind sources. | |
