About half of over 200 global business firms reduced their business-related travel emissions by over 50% from 2019 to 2022, says Travel Smart, a campaign of the European Federation for Transport and Environment. Of 217 global firms analyzed, 104 reduced travel emissions by at least 50%, in part thanks to virtual meetings. “Overall it’s a positive picture to see so many companies not returning to pre-2019 levels of flying,” said Denise Auclair, Travel Smart campaign manager. “Lessons from the pandemic have been learned: the way forward is collaboration with more online meetings, more travel by train and less by plane."
