Chemical conglomerate DowDuPont's travel department
synergized the policies and operations of two Fortune 500 companies—as well as
their air, hotel and car rental program footprints—after Dow and Dupont merged
in 2017. Notably, the single global travel policy now limits business class to
flights of eight hours or more, up from six hours. Then, this year, DowDuPont split
into three companies. The materials science division, which handles chemical
commodities, became Dow; the agricultural chemicals division became Corteva and
the specialty chemicals will remain as DuPont. The company's U.S.-booked air
volume increased 13 percent in 2018. Of that volume, 55 percent is for travel
outside the U.S. Of the U.S.-booked air tickets, two-thirds went through
approved online tools, but 45 percent required agent assistance. The company's
U.S.-booked air spend is expected to fall back to the 2017 level of $75 million
in 2019.
