2020 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $31 million
U.S. Consolidated TMC: BCD
Comcast suspended international travel on February 28, 2020
in response to the growing threat of Covid-19. Domestic travel suspension would
wait until March. BTN estimates the result of the company’s travel bans dropped
the Philadelphia-based telecommunication company’s U.S.-based air volume to $31
million in 2020, down from an estimated $134 million in 2019.
Comcast in 2021 has committed to reducing its carbon
footprint and becoming carbon neutral by 2035 in its Scope 1 and Scope 2
emissions. That commitment would not include emissions from business travel,
which are classified as Scope 3. The company’s U.K.-based subsidiary Sky has
made a deeper commitment. In 2020 it pledged to make its business net zero by
2030 and include Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in this pledge. It seems to target
reduction as well as offsetting strategies to address Scope 3.
Comcast in 2020 reported $103.6 billion in total revenue,
compared to $108.9 billion in 2019. It employed 168,000 people that year,
compared to 190,000 in 2019.
