1 Reduce your CO2 emissions and save money. Let s calculate. Methodological note «SFR Business Conferencing» module cobysfr is a simulating tool helps evaluating environmental and financial savings thanks to the use of SFR Business Team solutions. Protecting the environment is becoming a key issue for the digital business. SFR has a double challenge. On one hand, to stabilize energy consumption in a booming market. On the other, to help reducing French greenhouse gas emissions by massively spreading information and communication technologies. Hence SFR rolls out tangible solutions for companies and local authorities (remote reading, tele-interventions, cloud, computing, visio/telepresence ). SFR Business Team is willing to reinforce this commitment by proposing a tool that enables its clients to simulate CO2 and financial savings made by using SFR Business Conferencing solution. This tool is based on a reliable methodology created in collaboration with Ernst & Young. This methodology specifies the calculation hypotheses. Your result is thus fully transparent! A simple example is presented at the end of this document. SFR Business Team version 1 October / 12

3 1. Presentation of the «SFR Business Conferencing» module «SFR Business Conferencing» module will provide you with an estimate of the savings realized by your company in terms of time, money and CO2, using SFR Business Team virtual conference solutions instead of organizing a physical meeting with several employees. Some parameters must be entered in order to specify the characteristics of such meetings and obtain a realistic simulation for both virtual and physical meetings. «SFR Business Conferencing» parameters are the followings: Type of meeting Average duration of the meeting For physical meetings scenario: Location of the meeting Number of attendees Geographic distribution of the attendees Characterization of the average transportation mode Number of nights in each hotel category For virtual meeting scenario: Number of places equipped with video conference or telepresence rooms Number of attendees per solution o Audio/Web conference o Video conference o Telepresence Number of such meetings realized per year Based on these parameters, «SFR Business Conferencing» module simulates both scenarios and thus evaluates, for these meetings: Avoided wasted time of travelling Avoided costs due to transport and hotels CO2 savings SFR Business Team version 1 October / 12
