Anyone who doubts that sustainability is back on the corporate todo list need look no further than GM’s commitment to all-electric vehicles. More than ever, customers are demanding it from the companies they do business with. That comes as no surprise to Katie Schindall, the director of Cisco’s circular economy initiatives.
