The plan is structured around four key sustainability categories: Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Water Conservation, Energy (Buildings & Fleet), and Waste Management. It defines processes to integrate sustainability into airport management, sets a foundation for measuring success, and outlines implementation and maintenance, embracing ENVISION principles.

The plan also focuses on ensuring equitable access to gates, implementing fair and reasonable charges, and exploring longer-range business arrangements to maintain flexibility and accommodate new entrants, with the overarching goal of making the airport the preferred choice for the Sacramento region.
