Tech firms halve business travel in 2023
Business travel approached pre-pandemic levels last year, but lagged behind leisure travel due to geopolitical tensions and a slower market recovery
Global tech giants cut business flight emissions by half in 2023 compared to 2019, but companies like Apple and Alphabet are lagging and risk returning to pre-pandemic levels.
Key takeaways
- Corporate flight emissions from 26 major tech companies analyzed by Travel Smart, a campaign of Transport & Environment (T&E), will fall by an average of 49 percent by 2023;
- While many tech companies are making progress, only seven have set clear reduction targets, which T&E says are critical to controlling the number of business flights.
- T&E emphasized that tech companies claiming climate leadership must set reduction targets to maintain credibility in reducing travel emissions.
