In order to assist Concessions at O’Hare and Midway Airports in their efforts to minimize waste, enhance recycling, generate demand for eco-friendly products, and provide healthier foods for passengers and employees, the CDA has developed a set of guidance and standards. These exist within the Sustainable Airport Manual™ (SAM®) Terminal Occupants – Operations & Maintenance chapter; and these Prerequisites form the Green Concessions Policy. All concessionaires must adhere to the Policy shown below. Compliance with the policy is reviewed with concessionaires on a routine basis. Should a concessionaire not comply with the Policy, they are required to submit a response to CDA indicating why they are not in compliance and what efforts are being undertaken to achieve compliance, including target dates for completion. All existing and new concessionaires are required to adopt and have fully implemented this Policy.
