Cisco. We're the Internet's optimists. Our technology makes sure
the data travelling at light speed across connections does so
securely, yet it's not what we make but what we make happen which
marks us out. We're helping those who work in the health service to
connect with patients and each other; schools, colleges and
universities to teach in even the most challenging of times. We're
helping businesses of all shapes and size to connect with their
employees and customers in new ways, providing people with access
to the digital skills they need and connecting the most remote
parts of the world - whether through 5G, or otherwise. We tackle
whatever challenges come our way. We have each other's backs, we
recognise our accomplishments, and we grow together. We celebrate
and support one another - from big and small things in life to big
career moments. And giving back is in our DNA (we get 10 days off
each year to do just that). We know that powering an inclusive
future starts with us. Because without diversity and a dedication
to equality, there is no moving forward. Our 30 Inclusive
Communities, that bring people together around commonalities or
passions, are leading the way. Together we're committed to
learning, listening, caring for our communities, whilst supporting
the most vulnerable with a collective effort to make this world a
better place either with technology, or through our actions. So,
