1. SFO ORGANIZATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY 1 By Saidah Leatutufu

2. SFO’S MISSION STATEMENT San Francisco International Airport (SFO), a department of the City and County of San Francisco, is a transparent organization dedicated to serving our local community as well as the millions of travelers who pass through our doors each year. We welcome public interest in the way we do business. 2

3. Sustainable Action Defined Reduces environmental impacts Helps maintain high, stable levels of economic growth Helps achieve “social progress”, a broad set of actions that ensures organizational goals achieved in a way that is consistent with the needs and values of local communities Source: http://www.faa.gov/airports/environmental/sustainability/ SFO 3

4. SFO’s Innovative Sustainability Efforts Energy & Atmosphere Equity & Aesthetics Site & Habitat Water & Wastewater Materials & Resources Health (San Francisco International Airport Sustainable Planning, Design, and Construction Guidelines) 14% reduction in potable water consumption since 2004, despite increases in passenger activity 640,000 square feet of green buildings and facilities (LEED Gold certification) Reduced GHG emissions by 19% compared to 1990 levels 1.3 million gallons of gasoline saved per year by using alternative fuels and vehicles 4

6. WHICH GHG EMISSIONS ARE SFO-CONTROLLED? 6

7. BARRIERS TO SUSTAINABILITY Passengers increased by 3M between FY2011-2012 (implies increase in flights hence GHG emissions from planes) Voluntary emissions increased by over 1.25 million tons between 1990 and 2011 Largest Department is Maintenance & Facilities (947employees)..and expanding? 7

8. WHICH ACTIVITIES NEED MORE SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS? 1- SFO Operations2- Partners and Contractors 3- The Public and Clients (voluntary) - Employee commutes - SFO-owned vehicle traffic within boundaries of Airport - Concessions, Airport Tenants - Planes during takeoff and landing - Planes after takeoff -Passenger commutes to SFO -Pick-up & drop-off 8

9. DO GHG EMISSIONS BUILD REVENUE? 9 SFO earns most of its revenue from the areas that emit the most GHG’s (i.e. landing fees, terminal rentals for planes, concessions and parking and ground transportation). Source: http://www.flysfo.com/about-sfo/the-organization/financial-information

10. SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE EMISSIONS Incentivize passengers entering and exiting the airport by public transportation (frequent traveler card). Provide green vehicles at a fraction of the cost of renting them Incentivize taxi companies  “green” taxis Charge airlines a percentage for GHG emissions (i.e. tax, fee based on annual emissions produce) 10

11. SUGGESTED: SFO FUTURE SUSTAINABILITY PLAN QUALITATIVE GOALS Get SFO contributing to San Francisco’s grid with sustainable energy by 2025 Improve of user/passenger traffic circulation within airport Improve transit options by connecting existing lines QUANTITAIVE GOALS Reduce operations emissions by 10% per year, while growing business (Reduce CO2 emissions by 80% in 20 years instead of 50) Reduce partner and client emissions (cat. 2/3) by 50% by 2025 11

12. WHERE IS SFO’S NEXT DESTINATION? SFO will still be the poster child of innovating sustainability  San Francisco will experience moderate population growth in next decade and SFO’s market share of regional air traffic, at 71%, will likely not decline But will air travel still be viable in 2050?  How can airlines, passengers, and the government work together on alternative airplane fuel and emissions reductions? 12 Current Transportation-based GHG Emissions Future Transportation-based GHG Emissions? Will the pie shrink enough?
