Reducing Carbon Footprint with Video Conferencing

Posted by kevin on May 16th, 2012 in News

Lets take a look at a real life example of how Video Conferencing can help to reduce carbon footprint by reducing the need for business travel.

A retail company with stores throughout the UK has 6 Regional Managers who meet at their head office in London for a meeting every quarter.

1 lives close by and walks to the office
1 takes a return flight from Glasgow to London = 0.12 tonnes
1 makes a return train journey from Exeter to London = 0.03 tonnes
1 drives from Southampton to London in a medium sized petrol car = 0.05 tonnes
1 travels by train from Birmingham to London = 0.02 tonnes
1 flies from Manchester to London = 0.05 tonnes

One meeting = 0.27 tonnes of carbon emissions

Repeated 4 times a year, these quarterly meetings alone equate to 1.08 tonnes of carbon emissions

With a simple desktop Video Conferencing solution in each of the Regional Manager’s offices and a meeting room Video Conferencing solution in the London head office, these meetings could all be done by Video Conference, eliminating 2.77 tonnes of carbon emissions.

Take a look at Polycom’s carbon emissions and ROI calculator to see how you can reduce your impact on the environment.

There is no substitute for a personal meeting!

Of course! – Video Conference facilities only add an alternative way of getting in front of your colleagues and associates – we use the telephone, and video increases the richness massively. Maybe we can get by on video for 3 meetings out of 4 – the face-to-face then becomes more meaningful – it can become a treat instead of a bind!

Some facts:
People learn twice as much in face-to-face meetings as in voice only conversations.
More than half (about 55%) of the impact of visual communications comes from facial expressions and body language (with only 38% coming from vocal inflection).

So, replace telephone conferences with video meetings to improve the quality of your communications, reduce the quantity of those all important face-to-face meetings, increase your productivity and save on travel costs.
