San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport (OAK), operated by the Port of Oakland, has achieved Level Three within Airports Council International’s Airport Carbon Accreditation programme. 

Airport Carbon Accreditation is an international programme that requires airport members to commit to activities that reduce emissions and provide evidence of effective carbon management procedures.

OAK’s certification was received at the Airports Council International North America 2024 Annual Conference and Exhibition.

“OAK is proud to announce that we have achieved Level Three carbon accreditation with the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme,” said Port of Oakland Director of Aviation Craig Simon. “We are so pleased to be a participant in this programme. OAK and its partners are committed to the continued reduction of carbon emissions at our airport.” 

OAK said it was pursuing the next stage of accreditation, with seven levels in total. The Port of Oakland plans to reach zero emissions from OAK owned sources and operations by 2040.
