“With this partnership, Cisco France leverages the unifying power of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to answer the call of Pride House and to live our corporate mission: to foster an inclusive future for all”

Craig Buckland and Tobi Metz, co-leads of the Pride & Allies program at Cisco in EMEA.

Our commitment to Fier-Play and Pride House represents the capstone of an edifice built by the local internal LGBTQ+ network, which this year has dedicated sports as a vector for inclusion, prevention, and well-being.

A twelve-month effort where the Pride & Allies community of Cisco France also supported the Paris Tournament and the Sports Forum, hosted the LGBT+ Sports Federation on the stage of a “Giving Back March Forum”, and participated in the Front Runners’ Valentine’s Day Race.

At Cisco, we carry a universal vision of technology at the service of progress in all aspects of life and business: a vision where innovation is not reserved for the few but benefits all, without exclusion, reflecting French universalist ideals where people are born and remain equal in rights, our mission is to ensure that people are born and remain equal in digital rights. What better time than the Paris 2024 Games and the promise to “Create a new Games model to inspire today, build tomorrow and deliver Games that are unifying, inclusive and universal.”

At the Olympic and Paralympic Games, just as in life, what really counts is being able to participate. As an Official Partner of the Paris 2024 Games, we’re providing secure and reliable digital infrastructure for everyone, so we can all take part.
