Sustainable Meetings at La Vie
La Vie Utrecht places sustainability at the heart of its operations. They avoid single-use plastic, offer responsible products, follow a zero-waste policy and operate completely climate-neutral. These green initiatives naturally include sustainable AV technology.
To make a responsible choice, they researched the sustainability credentials of different brands. We stood out due to the transparency provided in our Sustainability Passports, which offer detailed insights into the CO₂ footprint and origin of our products.
Keeping Up with the Times
But which of our products was the right choice for La Vie? They wanted to update their 37 meeting rooms to keep up with the times. Projectors out, touch in. Their goal was to integrate the latest technology to facilitate seamless meetings.
They were looking for an affordable, easy-to-use all-in-one solution with great sound and USB-C connectivity. With years of meeting experience and thorough research, they chose for us. Specifically, our Riva R2:
✓ Attractive price
✓ Easy-to-use interface
✓ Customisable background screens
✓ JBL speakers with 80 watts of power
✓ Two USB-C ports
The Sustainability Passport played a key role in making this decision!
For La Vie, hands-on testing is essential—if they aren’t satisfied themselves, how can their customers be? Before making their final choice, they purchased a Riva R2 for thorough evaluation. Our partner, JBS Multimedia, provided guidance where needed.
In the end, the Riva R2 met all their requirements, leading to the decision to install the displays in two phases. JBS Multimedia assisted with the installation. The Riva R2 required no extensive introduction—thanks to the testing phase and its ease of use, no training was necessary.
Most Excellent Meeting Experience
The Riva R2 has now been installed in all 37 meeting rooms at La Vie. When visitors arrive at their booked meeting space, they can get started straight away thanks to the intuitive interface and plug-and-play USB-C connection. A brief introduction of just a few minutes is enough to master the technology, even for the least tech-savvy users.
The most commonly used feature is screen sharing via a USB-C cable, allowing visitors to display their PowerPoint presentations on the large screen. The ease of plug-and-play functionality is highly appreciated.
With powerful 80-watt JBL speakers and USB-C connectivity, trainers can seamlessly integrate multimedia into their sessions, enhancing the overall learning experience.
Thanks to the Riva R2—sustainably produced and easily set to energy-saving mode—La Vie actively contributes to its sustainability goals. Visitors can enjoy an interactive, sustainable and future-proof meeting experience.
