not sitting in traffic.=0D=0A=0D=0AIn his proclamation of Statewide Telework=

=0D=0A=0D=0Aand teleworking.=0D=0A=0D=0A”TANDBERG has long encouraged its=
1,500 global employees to telework. As the leading global video conferencing=
and telepresence provider, we know first-hand how a telework program enhanced=
by visual communications can help agencies and enterprises realize positive=
environmental benefits while maintaining the in-person experience typical=
of an office environment,” said Rick Snyder, TANDBERG President of Americas=
and Virginia resident. “We are very proud to support Statewide Telework=
Day and applaud Governor Kaine for his foresight in encouraging the use=
of green IT such as video conferencing as an important tool to support=
corporate sustainability efforts like travel reduction and telework.”=0D=0A=

with video conferencing systems in the office, their homes and on their=
laptops. That way, no matter whether they need to work from the road or=
home, they can always meet face-to-face with colleagues, customers, and=
partners.=0D=0A=0D=0A”Research shows that more than half of communication=
is visual, so by using video conferencing to communicate much of the confusion=
that occurs from audio calls or over email is eliminated because you can=
see people’s faces and what they are thinking,” said Snyder.=0D=0A=0D=0AVisual=
communications is paying off for TANDBERG, where in the last year its global=
employees have on average made 75,000 video calls each month. Replacing=
unnecessary business travel with “in-person” video calls has effectively=
saved the company over 21,000 metric tons of carbon emissions, over $45=
million, and about 38,250 productivity hours in the last year. Additionally,=
TANDBERG employees telework one day a week on average, effectively reducing=
the company’s overall environmental impact from commuting by 20%. The company=
also has conducted an=0D=0A=0D=0Ainternal audit=0D=0A[http://www.tandberg.com/environmental-responsibility.jsp?cid=3D04US060027001&elq=3D2837408546cb47e1a9b771252b2b7024]=
=0D=0A=0D=0Aof its carbon footprint to identify and address additional operational=
areas for improvement.=0D=0A=0D=0AAccording to Governor Kaine, “Every day=
we each make choices that result in impacts to the environment; opportunities=
to lessen these impacts abound. For instance, we can reduce automobile=
emissions by holding video conferences or conference calls rather than=
face-to-face meetings and by walking, bicycling, carpooling, or taking=
transit to work.”=0D=0A=0D=0AFor more information about how video conferencing=
