Honestly you wouldn't believe how little environmental awareness there is in most businesses. I've seen people do return transatlantic flights for a single half day meeting...

Why should they care, when individual action has no measurable effect in the face of 7 billion other people and the tragedy of the commons problem?
What is needed is collective action, i.e. policy/regulation/laws/taxes, not individuals making sacrifices.
Try east coast US to APAC just to make a personnel change and fly back (24-48hr turnaround).
It's an American thing mostly. It's absurd. I think a lot of people at those levels just want to avoid their families. And the businesses are reckless on spending and allocation of time resources.
