Environmental Benefits
Environmental stewardship is one of our major responsibilities as the trustee of Port of Oakland lands. We are going to zero-emissions at our seaport and airport. As a result, we have implemented dozens of innovative programs thanks to an array of partnerships and collaborations that work to identify, quantify, and meet environmental challenges. The environmental solutions that we use can be applied worldwide to help save energy, conserve natural resources and reduce our carbon footprint for future generations.
