Google’s U.S.-booked air volume soared in 2022 to $151 million from $10 million in 2021. This occurred while the company took steps to be more intentional with its T&E spending by providing clarity on critical travel versus non-critical travel and by asking employees to reduce non-critical trips.

In 2022, the company introduced its “Ally” service desk for travelers requiring special assistance. In 2023, Google is strongly supporting the use of its preferred booking channels and trying to shift away from “open booking.” In 2022, only about 55 percent of globally booked air volumes went through the company’s travel management company American Express Global Business Travel, with the balance booked outside of that channel.

The company’s 2022 greenhouse gas emissions were approximately 10.2 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, which includes Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions. The latter includes business travel, which Google reported was 211,000 metric tons of CO2e, representing about 2 percent of the company’s total.

Google reported 2022 revenue of $182.5 billion, down from the $257.6 billion reported in 2021. The company also grew to more than 190,000 employees as of Dec. 31, 2022, from the 174,000 reported the prior year. In January 2023, however, it announced a reduction in its workforce of approximately 12,000 roles.
