Consolidated U.S. TMC: BCD

Pfizer has reduced from a U.S.-booked air volume of $99 million in 2019 to a BTN-estimated $10 million in 2020 and even further to $2.9 million in 2021. Revenue for the co-producer with BioNTech of the Covid-19 vaccine Comirnaty moved firmly in the other direction, up from $42 billion in 2020 to $81 billion in 2021. According to the company’s 2021 sustainability report, carbon emissions plummeted from a 2019 baseline of 351,500 metric tons in 2019 to 96,300 in 2020 and then 29,000 in 2021. The company’s goal is to limit annual business travel emissions to 263,600 metric tons, 25 percent lower than the 2019 baseline, by 2025. Pfizer’s Science Based Targets strategy was approved in February 2021. “Business travel continued to be impacted by pandemic-related travel restrictions through 2021,” the report said. “Travel-related [greenhouse gas] emissions were 92 percent lower than the 2019 baseline. Going forward we will continue to utilize digital tools to reduce travel.”
