Ingram Micro has announced that it has achieved the Environmental Sustainability Specialisation through the Cisco Partner Program.
Ingram Micro is the first Cisco Distributor in Asia Pacific, Japan and Greater China to achieve the Cisco Environmental Sustainability Specialisation-CESS certification across the region.
The distinction indicates that the company has successfully completed courses created to help partners operationalise environmental sustainability practices. Further, Ingram Micro has made several commitments as part of the Cisco Sustainability Pledge.
These include:
- Educating current and potential partners and customers about circular economy and environmental sustainability principles
- Helping partners and customers identify ways to incorporate environmental sustainability practices into their business
- Supporting employee volunteer work to non-profits striving to build a healthier ecosystem or research initiatives for furthering environmental sustainability goals and efforts
- Supporting Cisco’s environmental sustainability goals, including Cisco’s aim to reach net zero across global Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2040
“Just like Cisco, Ingram Micro believes that sustainability is crucial for enabling an inclusive future for everyone,” said Hope McGarry, Director ASG, Specialty and Commercial, Ingram Micro. “In the current business environment, it comes as no surprise that our partners and customers also recognise its significance. Greater levels of sustainability can yield concrete.”
