Visit Connecting Cities: Achieving Innovation through Sustainability

Use of Cisco TelePresence for teleconferencing can lower your company's carbon emissions by decreasing the need for business travel. You can meaningfully reduce the environmental impact of your business, from operations to product development, without sacrificing productivity and profitability. Cisco TelePresence helps you:

  • Boost your company's green initiatives
  • Reduce air travel and its impact on the environment
  • Hold more long-distance meetings with only a small carbon footprint

When Being There Is Being Here, Employees Take Fewer Flights

When a teleconferencing solution is as good as an in-person experience, more people want to use it. Because Cisco TelePresence makes face-to-face interactions over the network immersive and authentic, you can fulfill teleconferencing's promise of reduced business travel. Less air travel leads to a decrease in carbon emissions:

  • A year of two cross-country meetings per week using Cisco TelePresence would emit less carbon than a single in-person visit.
  • Cisco is encouraging development of third-party tools for calculating the net carbon impact of including Cisco TelePresence in your environmental sustainability goals.
