Cisco France has always had a special interest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). We want to contribute to our country’s main economical and societal challenges. And we want to do it by using our expertise in network technology and our energy.
As everywhere, France faces many social, economic, and environmental issues. Let’s state a few:
A 22% youth unemployment rate, near to the highest in French history
A shortage of IT professionals, by 2020 there should be 87 000 potential vacancies for ICT practitioners
Too few women employed in the IT sector – only 20% of IT engineers are women
A troubling decrease in biodiversity
Under the impulse of several Cisco employees, a team of volunteers came together to lead local projects. Five years later, the team is structured with a strategy, leaders, a coordinator, and an executive sponsor. We also aim to give our colleagues an additional reason to come and work every day: to contribute to a better world.
