2023 U.S.-Booked Air Volume: $96.4 million
Consolidated U.S. TMC: Amex GBT
U.S.-booked air volume for the U.S. operations of professional services and Big Four accounting firm KPMG grew 26 percent year over year to $96.4 million.
The company in 2023 continued its focus on greener travel choices and reducing carbon emissions. It aims to become a net-zero organization, with a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50 percent by 2030 compared with its 2019 base year.
The company monitors the purpose of travel and duration for alignment with firmwide emissions reduction strategy. A key tool to control emissions from business travel is its internal carbon price, which acts as a way to hold leadership accountable for business travel emissions. The company’s emissions calculator helps KPMG’s sustainability engagement teams calculate the carbon footprint from travel and informs how they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
No major changes have been implemented in the company’s travel policy outside of a continued emphasis on cost and demand management. The company in 2022 implemented a policy change by requiring a pre-trip approval process for trips that meet pre-determined criteria.
KPMG's global revenue for its 2023 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, 2023, increased about 3 percent year over year to $36.1 billion.
Total headcount increased more than 3 percent year over year to 273,000. The company has about 40,000 employees in the United States.
