702,000 tonnes of CO2
mitigated through project activities
The ClickShare Video Bar range sets a new industry standard as the first carbon-neutral video bar solution in the wireless conferencing market by proudly earning the carbon-neutral label from climate advisory organization, CO2logic—a South Pole company. This milestone comes one year after receiving the same label for the ClickShare Conference CX-50 2nd gen.
These achievements reinforce our efforts and spur us forward as we work tirelessly to reduce the carbon emissions of our products. By making the right choices, from design to disposal, we have slashed the carbon emissions across the lifecycle of the ClickShare Video Bars to a minimum.
How did the ClickShare Bars achieve carbon neutrality?
After reducing the carbon emissions of the ClickShare Bars to the minimum, the remaining 239.21 kg of CO2 emitted during their 5-year lifecycle are offset through the Huadu Afforestation Project.
This project preserves the biodiversity of the Guinzhou province in South China by protecting the area´s thriving forests and, at the same time, creates educational and economic opportunities for the community.
