BTN estimates ITW spent $5 million in U.S. point-of-sale air
volume in 2021, down from $6 million in 2020. The company recommitted to carbon
emissions reduction in 2021, citing the progress it had made on its original
targets announced in 2019. The company is now working to reduce Scope 1 and
Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions per U.S. dollar of operating revenue by 40
percent compared to 2017 levels. Business travel, however, lies outside of that
commitment in Scope 3. Regarding that category, the company took steps in 2021
to “better understand our value chain and Scope 3 emissions,” according to
ITW’s annual sustainability report. Through that study, the company identified
its top categories for Scope 3 emissions, which include the use of its sold
products and the goods and services the company purchases from other suppliers.
The latter traditionally would include business travel, though the company has
not made any public reduction commitments there. ITW’s reported total revenue
of $14.5 billion in 2021, a 15 percent increase over 2020. It employed 45,000
worldwide, representing 2,000 more than in 2020.
