The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority (Airport Authority) is pleased to release its 2023 Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) Report, which can be viewed and downloaded at san.org/ESG. The report serves as a barometer for San Diego International Airport’s (SAN) relationship with the greater San Diego community through our environmental stewardship, social responsibility and responsible governance.
Since 2011, the Airport Authority has published an annual sustainability report, and for the 2022 report, began incorporating Diversity, Equity and Inclusion goals. With this 2023 ESG Report, the Airport Authority is embracing efforts by the airport industry to coalesce around a common reporting framework.
“As we transition to ESG reporting, we are excited to shine a light on the exciting projects and initiatives that drive San Diego International Airport forward,” said Kimberly J. Becker, President & CEO, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority. “We’re focused on creating a sustainable future by reducing our carbon footprint and being a responsive community partner, while continuing work on the New Terminal 1, which is scheduled to open next fall.”
The Airport Authority will provide bi-annual ESG reports moving forward, while continuing to report on ESG data and trends annually.
The report is organized into three sections:
The Environmental section focuses on ways in which the Airport Authority builds towards a resilient future through seven programmatic areas including water stewardship, carbon neutrality, clean transportation, climate resilience, zero waste, biodiversity, and sustainable energy.
The Social section reviews ways in which the Airport Authority demonstrates industry and regional leadership across all our operations; fosters a sense of belonging for everyone; exceeds our customers’ expectations; and attracts, retains, and develops our employees.
The Governance section focuses on the practices and structures that the Airport Authority has in place. This section provides insights to investors, stakeholders, and analysts into how the Airport Authority is managed, the policies and procedures it follows, and how it ensures accountability, transparency, and ethical conduct while driving long-term value.
