Back in 2013 in a tech company with >100k employess worldwide, there was change in travel policy. With the new policy flying in Business was reserved only for Board members or if you already have flown two round trip flights in Economy where one segment in must be 14h or more.
Fast forward 10 years and I see that or similar rules everywhere in the US based large tech companies. In my current company (25K people worldwide) flying in Business must be authorized on board level regardless the length of the flight.
My wife's company (they have more headcount) has similar rule - flying in Business is exception and must be explicitly authorized.CEO flies PE. There is an option to use your own money/miles to upgrade to Business, but don't try to weasel out and use company's money for it. At the same time, everywone is entitled to arrive day early after the flight, as well as skip one working day after returning home. Because $400 for two days for a hotel is way cheaper that PE-J difference.

Expression quoted above in good number of companies is CLM - Career Limiting Move.
In my company sustainabily is one of core company values, with mandatory triaings several times per year and if one declares that they 'don't give flying f', well, you have to find another job, that in line with your value set.
