Cisco aims to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by which year?

Question

Options

• A2025
• B2040
• C2030
• D2050

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  92% (33)
• C
  6% (2)

Explanation

Cisco has committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2040, making option B correct. Options A (2025) and C (2030) are too soon - while Cisco has shorter-term emissions reduction milestones targeting those years, the full net zero goal is set further out. Option D (2050) is the most common net zero target year for many large corporations and governments (such as the Paris Agreement baseline), but Cisco has set a more ambitious timeline a decade earlier. To remember this, note that Cisco's net zero = 2040, sitting squarely between the common interim targets (2030) and the standard long-term benchmark (2050).
