BTN estimates that pharmaceutical giant GSK spent just under $10 million in U.S.-booked air in 2020, compared with $78 million in 2019.
In 2020, GSK announced a new set of goals to reach net zero impact on climate by 2030. Among them include having its sales representatives worldwide move to 100 percent use of electric vehicles. The company has noted that it plans to make some of the
changes related to business travel under Covid-19 permanent as part of its carbon goals as well, though it will continue to allow international business travel as necessary in the future.
GSK’s group sales in 2020 were up 1 percent year over year to £34 billion. It reported more than 94,000 employees in 2020, down from nearly 100,000 the prior year.
GSK currently is in the process of splitting its consumer healthcare business into its own company, which it expects to complete sometime in the middle of 2022. That will leave GSK focusing largely on vaccines and specialty medicines.
