Stakeholder(s):

  • SAS Executive Sustainability CouncilThe SAS Executive Sustainability Council, formed in 2008, continues to review metrics of SAS' sustainability performance and provides guidance on ways to conduct global operations in an environmentally sustainable manner. The Executive Sustainability Council and the steering committee are chartered to act on environmental policy statements and mandates. In 2012, many initiatives were made possible by direct sponsorship and hands-on participation from Executive Sustainability Council members, including the employee Junk Swap, waste stream audit, and the expansion of our electric vehicle charging station infrastructure. This past year, meetings were conducted with council subgroups in order to provide detailed guidance by executives and support staff on issues and opportunities specific to their areas of operational control.
