2020 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $19.2 million
Consolidated U.S. TMC: BCD
Healthcare and insurance giant UnitedHealth Group in 2020 cut its U.S.-booked air travel expense by about 75 percent, according to a BTN estimate.
UHG in 2020 generated nearly 21,700 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions via its global business travel. That compares with 63,000 in 2019, but that figure is a U.S.-only metric and excludes rail.
UHG at the end of 2020 had about 330,000 employees, up from about 325,000 one year earlier. Total revenue in 2020 increased about 6 percent year over year to about $251.7 billion. The company in 2019 acquired DaVita Medical Group and healthcare payments firm Equian.
