As one of the largest Circular Economy Partners to Cisco in Europe, we’re delighted to achieve the recently launched Cisco Environmental Sustainability Specialisation.

Our team members completed Cisco’s specialist training and passed an exam designed to strengthen our role in supporting Cisco’s sustainability pledge for product returns.

What This Certification Confirms

  • We help customers meet their sustainability goals by supplying authorised remanufactured IT through Cisco’s takeback and reuse programme.
  • We partner with Cisco Sustainability and our customers to keep technology in use for longer. This includes returning, reusing, and redeploying equipment in line with circular economy principles.
  • We actively contribute to Cisco’s sustainability pledge.
  • The Take Back Initiative ensures technology is used for its full life cycle.

This achievement also recognises our significant role in Cisco’s global initiative to responsibly repurpose or recycle end-of-use equipment. This ensures that existing technology stays in use for as long as possible.


Fourteen Years of Partnership

Over the last fourteen years, Cistor has partnered with Cisco to extend the life of technology. As a key strategic circular economy partner in Cisco’s Refresh programme, we have used Cisco Refresh technology in contracts worldwide. This includes work with banks, the London Stock Exchange, international service providers, government departments, universities, businesses, and mobile technology companies.

Changing Conversations Around IT and Sustainability

More organisations are now examining their environmental and social impact. The conversations we have with clients are changing. Of course, technology must deliver continuity, security, cost efficiency, and resilience to supply chain challenges. However, the biggest shift we see is that organisations now ask how IT can align with wider business sustainability goals such as reducing eWaste, supporting the circular economy, and protecting finite resources.

Our Sustainability IT Consultancy helps organisations create this alignment.

The Benefits of Cisco Refresh

Cisco Refresh gives customers confidence that their technology comes with the same warranties, licences, and SmartNet support as new equipment. In addition, by using technology that already exists, our clients reduce eWaste and cut climate impact. They avoid the need to purchase brand-new equipment, which helps both their budget and the planet
