Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at CIENA CORPORATION

Our deep humanity propels us to not only innovate differently, but also to do good in the world—driving meaningful social impact in our communities, fostering environmental stewardship, and nurturing an inclusive culture where everyone belongs.

Environmental Sustainability

We feel an innate responsibility to pursue technological innovation that can positively impact our environment for future generations and ensure responsible business practices.

We use 100% renewable energy in our offices. Our offices in the US, UK, and Australia are all powered directly by renewable energy, while our other offices benefit from Renewable Energy Credits to help get us toward our goal. We’re also reducing our overall energy use through facility upgrades like LED lighting and HVAC modernization.

We work with our suppliers to identify opportunities to reduce emissions throughout our value chain, including those from shipping and energy used in manufacturing our products. We also work closely with our suppliers to ensure that our product packaging uses at least 70% recycled content by weight.

We design our products to serve networks for the long term, prioritizing modularity and reducing power per bit while offering services to extend product life and increase recyclability. We do this by enhancing our products’ energy efficiency, minimizing material use and physical footprint, and reducing waste.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

We recognize and amplify each person's passion for giving back and making a meaningful difference in the communities where we live and work. Our Ciena Cares program was born from the grassroots efforts of our people who wanted to do good in the world. Today, it's ingrained in our culture through volunteering time off, cash rewards for volunteering, and matched giving. Through our Digital Inclusion program, we unlock opportunities for more than 100,000 students worldwide with digital access, tools, and learning.
