2020 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $21.2 million
Consolidated U.S. TMC: BCD
Enterprise software firm SAP in 2020 spent on its U.S.-booked air travel about 20 percent of its 2019 volume, according to a BTN estimate.
SAP for the past several years has levied a uniform internal carbon price on business flights in most countries in which it operates, the proceeds of which are dedicated to sustainability-related projects. The internal fee has helped to dissuade travelers from choosing air travel in favor of more sustainable options, including virtual collaboration, even before the pandemic.
SAP’s total 2020 revenue of €27.2 billion was down about 1 percent year over year. The company had more than 102,000 employees worldwide at the end of 2020, up about 2 percent from the year prior. SAP owns travel booking and expense management system Concur.
