How high on the priority list of cutting greenhouse gases is corporate travel to see the asset managers that own the stocks of these public Fortune 500 companies? Using very rough figures, the avg. large company ($10B in mkt. cap) spends 45 days flying their management team around the country to see the institutions who own their stock.

FD and should be used more effectively by mgmt. teams Betsy, great article.
