Today, approximately 9% of the world’s plastic is recycled. This low recycling rate highlights the significant challenges in managing plastic waste and emphasizes the need for better recycling infrastructure and practices globally. Cisco addresses plastic waste through its sustainability programs, aiming to reduce plastic use and promote recycling as part of its environmental initiatives (EcoWatch) (OECD) (RubyHome).
Question 2
Where did Cisco rank in the Gartner Supply Chain top 25 for 2021?
Options:
A.
Number 1
B.
Number 3
C.
Number 7
D.
Number 58
Answer:
A
Explanation:
In a uniquely challenging year, Cisco set new standards in innovation — and for its core purpose of powering an inclusive future for all.
This was especially true across the company’s vast global supply chain, where a staggering number of components, semi-finished goods, and finished products are moved and assembled with great efficiency, equity, and respect for the environment.
All of this factored in Gartner’s decision to name Cisco No. 1 in its Supply Chain Top 25 — for the second year in a row.
Question 3
Which two gases are considered greenhouse gases? (Choose two.)
Options:
A.
helium
B.
fluorinated gases
C.
poly dioxide
D.
methane
E.
carbon monoxide
Answer:
B, D
Explanation:
Fluorinated gases and methane are two significant greenhouse gases (GHGs). Methane is a potent GHG that contributes to global warming and is a focus of many environmental sustainability efforts, including Cisco’s GHG emission reduction initiatives. Fluorinated gases, although present in smaller quantities, have a high global warming potential and are also targeted in sustainability strategies. Cisco’s commitment to reducing GHG emissions is a key part of their environmental goals, as outlined in their Net Zero Emissions strategy.
