Reporting ethics concerns

Cisco counts on stakeholders to promptly speak up about violations of Cisco's Code of Business Conduct or any company policy.

There are multiple ways to contact the Ethics Office:

  • You can report by using the Cisco EthicsLine, a confidential reporting tool that enables you to file a report online or by telephone. You can report at any time—24 hours a day, seven days a week, and in 27 languages. Individuals have the option to remain anonymous when reporting concerns.
  • Sending an email directly to ethics@cisco.com.

Cisco’s EthicsLine is available to Cisco employees, customers, partners, vendors, and others involved with Cisco’s business. We encourage anyone to raise concerns if they become aware of possibly unlawful or unethical conduct or suspect there has been a violation of Cisco’s Code of Business Conduct or company policies.

Our policy of no retaliation

Cisco supports those who raise genuine concerns, even if they turn out to be mistaken. Cisco strictly prohibits any retaliation or threats of retaliation. If you believe that you or anyone else has been retaliated against or treated differently for submitting a complaint or report or for assisting in an investigation, please inform the Cisco Ethics Office by submitting your concern through the Cisco EthicsLine.

Review Cisco's Code of Business Conduct.
