sustainable SFO
SFO’s mission is to be the airport of choice for passengers, the airlines, and for the industry. We recognize the importance that environmental sustainability plays in helping achieve this goal today—as well as ensuring that we remain the airport of choice for future generations.
The airport is committed to drastically reducing its environmental impact over the next decade. We’re working to reduce our contributions to global warming, improve air and water quality, reduce noise impacts, and preserve natural resources.
During the past several years SFO has met many milestones in environmental achievements and resource conservation including the implementation of a green rental car program, the renovation of Terminal 2 to achieve LEED Silver certification, and the conversion of all Airport operated shuttle buses to biodiesel use, among many others.
