2015 was another tremendous year for Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) as we experienced a record-breaking number of guests passing through our doors on a daily basis. Throughout this unprecedented growth, LAWA maintained its focus on modernizing its airports, improving the performance of existing facilities and operations, and transforming the guest experience to lay the foundation for a sustainable, value driven, world class airport. In 2015, LAWA continued to work on the revolutionary transformation of the ground transportation system at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX); LAWA and the City of Los Angeles reached an historic agreement to transfer ownership of Ontario International Airport to local officials; and Van Nuys Airport opened a new U.S. Customs and Border Protection international arrivals facility – bringing a customs house back to the airport for the first time since 2006.

This report demonstrates LAWA’s commitment to all elements of sustainability and Mayor Garcetti’s Sustainable City pLAn, and highlights LAWA’s impressive results over the past year. LAWA is ambitious in its commitment to corporate social responsibility. Its airports not only serve as major economic engines in the Southern California region, but serve as an example of value creation for employees, airport guests, and local communities. As LAWA’s sustainability story continues, we are working to engage all of our stakeholders, including local communities, partner governmental agencies, elected officials, airlines, and tenants, so that together we continue to collaborate, deliver results, and drive innovation. This report provides a blueprint for maintaining and monitoring our collective success to make our airports and the City of Los Angeles a leader in sustainability.
