2016 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $150 million
Consolidated U.S. TMC: Carlson Wagonlit Travel
Citi's 2016 U.S.-booked air volume fell about 5 percent,
according to BTN's estimate. Meanwhile, revenue declined 2 percent from 2015,
and employees at the end of 2016 declined 11,000 to 220,000. In 2016, Citi
avoided 6,791 metric tons of carbon dioxide and reduced its greenhouse gas
emissions by 28 percent toward the company's 2020 goal. Citi recorded 135,735
metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from air travel last year, up 23
percent from 2015. The company also reported that rail travel generated 2,125
metric tons, an increase of more than 33 percent. The company encourages
employees to use video- and webconferencing whenever possible rather than
traveling. When travel is unavoidable, the company asks employees to group
trips to manage costs, and it offers employees the option of train travel
whenever feasible. In 2015, Citi began to measure its travel suppliers and
those in other categories by sustainability and social performance goals. The
company plans to put in place related policies and training by 2018.
