I am totally impressed with all of the initiatives and accomplishments Cisco has made in 2016 and really looks like you are off to a very solid start to 2017. As a student at Colorado Christian University, one of the key topics I thoroughly enjoy studying is Corporate Social Responsibility and I had no idea just how deeply involved is entrenched in this highly acclaimed area.

Perhaps the most impressive accomplishment that I read from 2016 was being honored by the Ethisphere® Institute as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies. It is difficult to find corporations that walk the walk and the Ethisphere® Instiitute obviously made a fantastic choice for this prestigious recognition.

To those who are unaware of how important this recognition is, let me share this with you. "The Ethisphere® Institute is the global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices that fuel corporate character, marketplace trust, and business success. We have a deep expertise in measuring and defining core ethics standards using data-driven insights that help companies enhance corporate character and believe integrity and transparency impact the public trust and the bottom line of any organization."

I am really looking forward to learning more about Corporate Social Responsibility and what accomplishments Cisco will make this year. I am not sure what you can or will do for an encore but I am confident you will make another lasting impression as an ethical and integrity based giant. Congratulations and keep up the great, important work!
