Outcomes of Green Initiatives: Large Airport Experience

Airports are embracing green initiatives to address compliance issues, reduce their environmental footprint, and increasingly, as strategic components of the airports’ long-term prosperity and success. This report presents information from literature and a survey that explores the drivers and outcomes of green initiatives, as well as identifies data used to evaluate their effectiveness. Case studies from interviews of 15 airport managers describe specific green initiatives, including drivers, outcomes, and lessons learned. The report will be of special interest to airport managers, staff, and researchers involved in developing, implementing, and tracking green initiatives at airports.
