Apple Inc. scaled back travel spending in 2021 to $35
million in U.S.-booked flights, down from $95 million in 2020, and a far cry
from its 2019 spend, which came in at just under $300 million, according to BTN
estimates.
Since 2020, Apple’s global operations, including business
travel and employee commute, have been carbon-neutral. Corporate travel
activity during the 2021 fiscal year, which ended in September 2021, generated
22,850 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, down from 153,000 the year prior.
The company has also pledged to move to sustainable aviation fuel equal to 5
percent of its passenger air travel footprint by 2030.
The company had 154,000 employees at the end of September
2021, up from 147,000 a year earlier.
The computing and software giant posted $365.8 billion in
global revenue in fiscal year 2021, up from $274.5 billion the previous year.
