Despite lofty climate goals, Alphabet and Apple employees fly back and forth

Business trips were practically brought to a standstill by the coronavirus epidemic, after which companies in most sectors drastically reduced their use of air transport. But there are a couple of worse examples.

Last year, the emission of harmful substances related to business trips using air transport by technology companies fell to half of the 2019 level, but one or two companies are on the right track to return this indicator to the pre-pandemic level, despite lofty climate goals, according to Travel Smart from his research.

According to the results of the study based on voluntary responses covering 26 companies, only seven have agreed to gradually reduce the amount of business flights, and Alphabet and Apple are especially among the worst performing companies in this field with a decrease of 23% and 31% respectively. .

Meanwhile, the two companies – at least in their communication – are both determined to directly and indirectly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make their operations carbon neutral (Apple has undertaken this goal by 2030).

On the other side of the list are PayPal, Intel and Dell, which last year reduced the number of business trips and the associated emissions by 82% and 82%, respectively, compared to 2019.
