How Video Meetings Are Reducing Carbon Footprints For Businesses

    Need another reason to make video meetings integral to your daily business communications? As Earth Day approaches, simply changing how you communicate at work can have lasting effects on our climate as well as your company’s bottom line. By adopting eco-friendly business solutions, like video meetings, you can contribute toward a greener planet. 

    By replacing traditional business meetings with video conferencing, you can dramatically reduce your carbon footprint. Traveling to meet a client or taking a flight to attend a conference inevitably results in a significant increase in carbon emissions, which has been proven to contribute to ozone layer depletion. According to one New York Times article, one round-trip flight from New York to Europe or to San Francisco creates a warming effect equivalent to 2 or 3 tons of carbon dioxide per person.

    The clear-cut environmental impact that live video is having on reducing carbon emissions must not be overlooked. Video meeting platforms, like Tenveo, connect individuals and teams worldwide simply and effectively over laptops, room systems, and mobile devices. Just this year, Tenveo has reduced travel by over 8.6 billion miles and lowered carbon emissions by a whopping 55 million metric tons.

    Video conferencing continues to gain traction for businesses because it allows an increasingly mobile workforce to instantly and more efficiently connect and collaborate with clients, teams, and partners from anywhere in the world. It’s as close to being in the same room as you can get. And, more importantly, by helping to reduce the need to travel, video meetings are saving time, money, and our environment.
