GE's U.S.-booked air travel declined about 3 percent in 2018,
according to a BTN estimate. In recent years, GE has introduced an internal
travel app that alerts managers when employees book travel, among other
functions. GE’s 2018 revenue increased about 3 percent to more than $121.6
billion. The company’s net loss was $22.8 billion. GE last year finalized the
sale of its Industrial Solutions business to ABB for about $2.6 billion. The
company at year-end 2018 had about 283,000 employees, down about 30,000 from 12
months prior. For the first time, GE last year released greenhouse gas
emissions related to its business travel. Emissions totaled more than 556,000
metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
