Process
moving towards a sustainable future
The following ten steps document the process of originating and completing a sustainable initiative.
CLT Sustainable Initiative Creation, Tracking, and Processing
1. One or more practical
applicators begin work on
a Sustainable Initiative
Template (SIT) that conforms
to the guidelines established
by the Evaluator for that
particular focus area.
2.The Initiative Administrator
completes the form and uploads
it to the Sustainability Database
for tracking purposes.
3.The Evaluator reviews the
SIT and performs one of the
following actions:
a.Approval
b.Temporarily closed
c.Permanently closed
4.If option (a) is chosen, proceed
to step 5a. If option (b) is
chosen proceed to, and end
with step 5b. If option (c) is
chosen, proceed to, and end
with step 5c.
5.Evaluator’s action:
a.The sustainable initiative
undergoes implementation
and is highlighted in blue
in the database.
b.The Evaluator states a
reason for closure and sets
a re-open date.
c.The Evaluator states a
reason for permanent
closure.
6.For initiatives that have a capital
cost of $0-49K, follow the
process outlined in “Contract
Execution, Processing, and
Uploading to the Digital
Contract Archive” form.
7.The sustainable initiative
enters a Progress Tracking
Sheet (PTS) with an assigned
project/initiative manager
who tracks its progress from
start to project completion.
8.Once the project is completed,
a profile sheet will be prepared
using the information obtained
from the SIT and PTS.
9.The profile sheet is uploaded
to the database and added to
the CLT Sustainability Catalog.
10. If the initiative proves worthy
for all future projects, it is
incorporated into the following
policy by the appropriate
Evaluator:
1. Facilities Maintenance
& Operations –
Energy & Sustainable
Management Plan
2.Development –
Sustainable Design &
Contracting Requirements
Policy
3.Concessions & Tenants –
Sustainable Tenant
Modification Standards
4.Environmental –

5.Transportation –

Practical
Applicators
The practical applicators are
spread throughout the five
focus areas and represent
most of CLT’s hands-on staff
who are responsible for the
activities involved in operating
the Airport on a daily basis.
Once these practical applicators identify an initiative,
they chose an initiative
administrator to complete a
Sustainable Initiative Template
(SIT). Once completed, the
initiative administrator submits
the SIT to the evaluator of
that focus area.
Initiative
Administrator
The Initiative Administrator
is a member of staff who
is knowledgeable about
sustainability or the project.
He/she serves as key point
of contact for the specific
initiative.
Evaluators
The evaluators represent
management from key
departments within CLT.
Each evaluator is assigned to
one or more focus areas and
is responsible for providing
guidance to practical applicators to assist them when
developing and introducing
a new sustainable initiative.
The evaluators will review
initiatives brought forth and
decide whether the initiatives
will be recommended for
implementation and/or be
included in the policy of
their focus area.
