By its very nature, videoconferencing is a “green” technology with a wide range of benefits for corporations, individual employees, and the community at large. Video can be an essential tool for developing an integrated environmental program that raises employee satisfaction, reduces costs, and increases productivity and shareholder value. One innovative way for environmentally conscious companies to realize measurable return on their video investment is to develop an effective “telework,’’ or “telecommuting’’ program.

Travel comes at a human and environmental cost; constant flying around the world isn't sustainable for people or the planet. Jets, trains and automobiles convert fossil fuel into carbon dioxide at an alarming rate. For many companies, business travel is the single largest source of CO2 emissions – and we are now fully aware of the environmental consequences of our actions.

As awareness has grown, companies face increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint from all sides: governments, consumers, competitors, activists, customers and their own employees – yet still deliver successful business results. What if you could connect more with partners around the world, avoid the time and expense of travel, and greatly reduce your carbon footprint at the same time? Request a FREE demo today!
