This 2021 presentation by San Francisco International Airport (SFO) outlines the airport's sustainability strategy, known as 'Journey Zero,' which targets zero net energy, zero waste, water conservation, healthy buildings, and cleaner transportation. It provides an overview of SFO's scale — including 58 million annual passengers and 470,000 aircraft operations in 2019 — and describes how the airport is addressing both the economic disruptions of COVID-19 and long-term climate challenges. The framework builds on goals established since 2014 and aligns with San Francisco's broader climate action commitments.Open full document
