Pharmaceutical giant Roche in 2021 modified a corporate sustainability goal that calls for an 18 percent reduction by 2025 in the amount of greenhouse gases generated by the company’s business flights as compared with 2019. The company in 2019 generated 201,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent through such travel. It generated 57,000 metric tons in 2020.
Roche in 2019 rolled out Concur for online travel booking and expense reporting, and slashed travel spending, according to a BTN estimate.
The company had about 101,500 employees worldwide at the end of 2020, up nearly 4 percent from 12 months prior. Annual 2020 revenue of 58.2 billion Swiss francs (US$63.3 billion) was down about 5 percent year over year.
