We calculated the environmental impact of the new Starbucks CEO’s supercommute
Flying on a business jet can be 10 times as carbon-intensive as flying on a commercial plane.
Incoming Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol won’t be required to relocate to Seattle, where the coffee chain is headquartered. Instead, he’ll commute more than 1,000 miles from his home in Newport Beach, California—and he’ll do so with the use of the company’s corporate jet. It’s a big work perk that could also come with big carbon emissions.
