The Environmental Division is responsible for implementing environmental policies and regulations across the City of Dallas' Department of Aviation, which comprise Dallas Love Field Airport, Dallas Executive Airport, and Dallas Vertiport. 

The department has set forth its Sustainability Master Plan, a bold and strategic framework that integrates sustainability into all airport operations and development.

The plan presents a clear vision for "a sustainable airport system that is the heart of our Dallas community," focusing on six key interrelated focus areas:

1. Air Quality and Climate
2. Materials
3. Ecosystems
4. Energy
5. Water
6. Future Development

With visionary goals, including achieving net-zero carbon emissions and zero waste by 2040 and operating on 100% renewable electricity, the plan promotes responsible development and long-term operational resilience.

“With these measures, some of which are already underway, the department is leading the way in aviation sustainability,” Department of Aviation Director Patrick Carreno said. “Sustainability is among my top priorities because with Dallas Love Field being the busiest medium-hub airport in the U.S., we must limit our carbon footprint and secure a greener future.”
