The Owner of the Year Award honors a public or private owner who exemplifies an outstanding commitment to fostering a strong, cooperative relationship between Owners and Contractors.

San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has been honored with the Owner of the Year Award, a testament to its commitment to fostering strong partnerships, sustainability, and community engagement. At the core of SFO’s success is its belief in the power of collaboration, viewing contractors as essential partners in achieving its strategic vision focused on resilience and forward-thinking development. This approach is reflected in its mission to prioritize people and the planet, guided by core values of collaboration, integrity, and shared responsibility.

SFO’s dedication to diversity and inclusion is evident in its strategic plan to enhance the participation of historically underrepresented businesses in airport projects. Recognizing the vital role of small, local, and diverse businesses, SFO has launched initiatives like the inaugural Resource Fair, which serves as a model for community empowerment.

Moreover, SFO’s partnership-driven model goes beyond mere business transactions; it embodies a co-creation process with contractors to ensure excellence and innovation in every project. The airport’s leadership in sustainable development and environmental stewardship sets it apart, as it incorporates cutting-edge technologies and sustainable practices that push the industry forward. SFO’s emphasis on fairness, transparency, and continuous improvement strengthens trust and long-term partnerships, making it a beacon of excellence in the construction and aviation sectors.
