Environmental, social and governance (ESG)
Although the Authority’s commitment to each of the ESG factors (environmental, social, and governance) was solidified many years ago, the holistic approach to recognizing ‘ESG’ as a concept started in 2022.
With the guidance of the Board, an ESG steering group comprised of members of the Authority’s leadership, was established to oversee and shape our efforts. Building upon the insights gained from our double materiality assessment, considering both internal and external impacts, we have refined our sustainability plan to align with best practices and reporting standards.
Our ESG reporting framework is broken down into these five key material topics:
Climate change and energy management
Employee and passenger health, safety, and well-being
Accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADE&I)
Employee engagement and development
Economic impact
Building on teamwork and sustainability, YOW safely connects people, moves goods, and creates economic prosperity for our community.
