! Regarding contracts including clauses on forced labour: Cisco states that contracts have to be in language the workers understand; Cisco makes a link between contracts being understandable to workers and avoiding forced labour, but there is no explicit statement on having a contract that includes clauses on forced labour.

The company has a policy against forced and child labour beyond tier 1, as their Supplier Ethics Policy extends to suppliers' suppliers, and is based on their Supplier Code of Conduct (see p.2).
