Denise leads the development of sustainability dashboards merging SDF data with real-time product telemetry, providing customers with immediate insights to optimise operations sustainably.
Cisco showcasing the power of data in climate action“ We’ re facing a tonne of really critical questions on not only what we say but on how we communicate our ESG strategy – our initiatives, our progress – as well as the challenges that come from this,” Mary begins.“ You really see this showing up in annual sustainability reports, something that has become the norm across the industry.
“ At Cisco, we’ ve been reporting out on our corporate social responsibility and our progress since 2005. We’ ve listened to feedback from our customers, analysts, shareholders, advocacy groups, and we really are aligning our reporting against a number of ESG reporting frameworks as well as disclosure standards.”
This lays the groundwork of how Cisco has incorporated data metrics in a landscape that is shaped by growing regulatory pressures and increasing demand for greater transparency.
Mary adds that as companies are increasingly recognising the critical role of data in driving sustainability efforts, numbers have to turn into meaningful action.
