2021 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $6.3 million

BTN estimated U.S.-booked air volume for the global food giant fell to $6.3 million from $10 million in 2020, and $50 million the year before that, in spite of worldwide sales climbing by 3 billion Swiss francs to reach 87 billion Swiss francs. Employee numbers also rose from 273,000 to 276,000.

Although travel and employee commuting combined only accounted for 0.8 percent of the company’s carbon emissions in 2018, Nestlé announced a Science Based Targets emissions reduction initiative in December 2020 that included a commitment to offset all business travel by 2022.

Nestlé has said it is operating "disciplined cost control and operational efficiencies" in response to rapidly rising input costs.
