2017 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $100 million
Consolidated U.S. TMC: BCD
According to a BTN estimate, SAP's U.S.-booked air volume
declined in 2017. The enterprise software giant owns online booking and expense
reporting technology provider Concur and in 2018 acquired enterprise software
firm CallidusCloud and software development firm Coresystems. In 2017, SAP
continued a program launched in 2015 in which an internal fee is charged on
business air travel in certain countries and the proceeds offset carbon
emissions. In 2017, that compensated for about 135,000 metric tons of carbon
dioxide equivalent, compared with 90,000 metric tons in 2016. The company
continues to invest in remote conferencing tools as a method of avoiding
business air travel. SAP revenue increased about 6 percent in 2017 to nearly
23.5 billion euros. The company had about 88,400 full-time equivalent employees
at the end of 2017, up from about 84,200 one year earlier.
