2009 CSR Report – User Experience Survey

Cisco network solutions are actively displacing emissions-intensive activities. As shown in the innermost ring of the figure, GHG emissions from energy use are separated into transportation, buildings, and manufacturing emissions, which are all affected by an underlying power and energy distribution infrastructure. Energy use shown is from IEA 14 data. U.S. EIA data shows essentially the same division among buildings, transportation, and manufacturing. The middle ring illustrates the abatement potential for the ICT sector, as described in The Climate Group and GeSI Smart 2020 New window report, which identified opportunities in the energy- and GHG-intensive areas of logistics, buildings, power, and industry. Cisco's network solutions and research initiatives, shown in the outermost rings, are directly capitalizing on these abatement opportunities by reducing emissions in one or more of the key sources of GHG emissions: transportation, buildings, and manufacturing.
