Sustainability at Cisco Live

An inclusive future is one that considers everyone, including future generations. Learn more about Cisco's sustainability efforts in Keynotes and sessions, as well as meaningful activations in the Sustainability Zone and Purpose Pavilion.

Cisco Live EMEA is driving change in the industry with your help. We strive to create a more environmentally conscious event through replicable processes that we can improve year after year. Following our sustainability efforts in 2024, we will continue to work with our suppliers, partners and stakeholders to reduce our environmental impact by tracking our carbon emissions using an independent tracking portal. Cisco Live is designed with sustainability in mind so that all our event elements can be re-used, re-purposed or recycled. This is supported by a robust Waste Management program that helps us identify items that can be donated to charity, re-used at future events or recycled by a recognized recycling program.

Social impact activities in the Social Hub

Join our partner, Give To Get, in the Social Hub to give back to the community at large. Take part in hands-on activities that demonstrate our sustainability efforts and help create farmers market stands, honeybee houses, water filters, and herb garden kits.

At Cisco, we are striving to move away from a linear economy, where products are used and then thrown away, to a circular one where products can be repaired, remanufactured, and responsibly recycled.
