2017 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $49 million
Barclays' U.S.-booked air volume fell $3 million in 2017,
according to a BTN estimate. The British investment bank spent 150 million
pounds on travel and accommodation in 2017, down 14 million from 2016. The
financial services firm closed its noncore business units and sold its stake in
its African subsidiary, Barclays Africa. The firm's total income was 14.3
billion pounds, down 4 percent from 2016. Barclays reduced its carbon
emissions, including those from business travel, by 26.1 percent in 2017, a
significant step toward the company's target of 30 percent reduction by 2018.
