But at some point challenges can outweigh the benefits and progress stalls but does it have to? Portland International Airport has developed an innovative partnership with a local university and airport tenants to encourage composting of organic waste and to donate left over food from their tenants. As a result PDX has achieved a composting rate of tons per month and donated thousands of fresh, healthy meals to a local charity, and they continue to improve upon their performance! Come learn about this exciting program and take some of PDX s lessons learned back to your airport!

The ISO 14001:2015 standard improves upon the previous edition by requiring organizations to determine external and internal issues that are relevant to its purpose, understanding the needs and expectations of interested parties, and more directly linking the environmental management system to the environmental performance of the organization. The revised standard also explicitly references risks associated with threats and opportunities that organizations need to address.
