What did the study in Sweden show could happen just by transitioning from 15% to...

A study in Sweden demonstrated that by transitioning from15% to 30% virtual meetings, the country could reduce itsCO2 emissions by 550,000 tons (T). This significant reduction is primarily attributed to decreased travel for in-person meetings, which cuts down on transportation-related emissions. Virtual meetings, facilitated by digital collaboration tools, allow companies and employees to reduce commuting, business travel, and the associated carbon footprint.

This transition is not only environmentally beneficial but also aligns with global sustainability goals to lower greenhouse gas emissions and support a more sustainable work culture.
