Sustainability and Zero Waste at SFO
The SFO Airport has huge climate and sustainability goals, including their goal to attain zero: zero carbon, zero waste and zero net energy (unless it is from renewables). SFO's objective, as outlined in its 5-Year Strategic Plan, is to be the first Airport in the world to achieve triple zero. SFO has visionary leadership and a deep culture of engagement from its more than 43,000 employees. This includes the SFO Airport Commission, airline, concession, vendors and contractors. In Fiscal Year 2018, SFO served a record 57.8 million passengers. Despite being one of the fastest-growing airports in the United States, SFO successfully curtailed its emissions by 39% from a 1990 baseline, in addition to reducing per-passenger water use by 22.5% below 2013 levels and campuswide natural gas use by 10%. Continued reductions like these has led SFO to save $1.9 million annually in utility expenditures. This session will review some of these great things he airport is doing to become the most sustainable airport in the country.
