Cisco,
formerly Scientific Atlanta,
strives to be a good corporate citizen and
takes seriously its responsibility of being
a contributing member of
the community. With corporate citizenship as
a core value, we are committed to taking an
active role in social, environmental and
community concerns. Through our Community
Relations efforts, we work towards solutions
to difficult social problems and strive to
improve conditions in the community.
The company has
a rich history of community service through
its
CareCorps volunteer program.
Senior Managers take leadership roles by
coordinating service projects, participating
in walk-a-thons and building projects as
well as serving on non-profit boards.
Employees at every level of the company
offer their support for company-sponsored
programs benefiting organizations such as
Habitat for Humanity, United Way, Junior
Achievement and FIRST Robotics. Not only do Cisco
employees generously give of their time and
talents, in 2007
they collectively contributed over $470,000.00
to the American Cancer Society, Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation and United Way
annual campaigns as well as American
Red Cross disaster relief efforts.
For decades, the
company made charitable contributions
to non-profit organizations enabling them to
manage volunteers’ time, talents and energy
more effectively. With the establishment of
the
Scientific Atlanta Foundation
in 1999, the company ensured its ability to
invest business dollars in a planned,
consistent manner in communities where
employees work and live. Each year, grants
are made to 501(c)(3) tax exempt public
charities whose efforts are focused in the
following areas: education, health & human
services
and civic infrastructure.
Support for communities is a key element of
business, and at Cisco,
corporate citizenship is a business
essential. Through CareCorps volunteer
efforts and Scientific Atlanta Foundation
grants, we strive to improve the vitality,
safety and well-being of our community.
