GOPPINGEN, GERMANY, 29 February 2024 - TeamViewer's remote connectivity solutions have a substantial positive environmental impact, according to a recently finalized study conducted by Five Glaciers Consulting and critically reviewed by TÜV SÜD. The CO₂-Avoidance-Study revealed that TeamViewer users and customers avoided between 15.6 and 44.8 million tons of CO₂ emissions in 2022 alone, mainly by reducing the need for travel through remote connections. To narrow down the savings of between 15.6 and 44.8 million tons of CO₂, a scenario was calculated in consultation with internal and external experts based on realistic travel assumptions regarding, for example, the number of travelers or the chosen mode of transport. This results in an avoidance of around 41 million tons of CO₂ in 2022. The total amount of avoided emissions corresponds to, for example:
The study was based on TeamViewer’s connection data of 2022, a customer and user survey with around 850 qualified participants as well as internal and external interviews with selected TeamViewer experts and customers to validate the data from the survey.
“TeamViewer solutions have become instrumental in facilitating remote access, support, and control across various industries,” said Alexander Gührer, Director Sustainability and Procurement at TeamViewer. “By enabling users to troubleshoot IT equipment, steer machinery, and provide remote assistance, TeamViewer helps to significantly avoid carbon emissions associated with travel. At the same time, we ensure that these remote connections are secure, and that critical data is protected.”
In addition, TeamViewer is continuously working on reducing its own emissions to reach the net-zero target by 2040 and to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030, based on a 2021 baseline.
“In addition to empowering users and customers to avoid carbon emissions, we are constantly working on minimizing our own environmental impact,” added Alexander Gührer. “We are committed to driving sustainable practices across our operations every day.”
