2024 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $76 million
Consolidated U.S. TMC: BCD
The year 2024 was one of strategic review for Roche’s travel program, with priorities including assessing options for accessing New Distribution Capability content and evaluating opportunities to enhance the employee experience while reducing costs. Among priorities for 2025 are migrating to a companywide global enterprise resource planning system, enabling NDC content and potentially piloting other new technology options. A review is also under way of solutions to improve the experience for non-profiled travelers.
The year 2024 was the third consecutive year that Roche’s U.S.-booked air volume was $76 million. In April 2025, the company received validation of its greenhouse gas reduction targets by the Science Based Targets initiative. Roche has committed to a 22.5 percent reduction of emissions from fuel, energy and waste from company operations and business travel by 2029 against a 2022 baseline, when emissions from business travel were 72,000 metric tons.
The company’s emissions from business travel in 2024 increased by 11.8 percent to 144,000 metric tons, owing to demand for travel increasing across the business. Business travel accounted for 2.6 percent of Roche’s Scope 3 emissions, which in turn accounted for 94.6 percent of total emissions.
“Mindful business travel” is included on Roche’s roadmap to reaching Net Zero by 2045.
