Corporate Partner

Alaska Airlines and the Surfrider Foundation are excited to enter a national partnership focused on protecting coastal habitats through efforts such as reducing plastic waste and engaging employees and communities in beach cleanups across the West Coast and throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Alaska and Surfrider, both West Coast-based organizations with broad national reach, will collaborate to help protect our coastlines, expand education and awareness of the challenges that threaten our ocean, beaches and marine environments, and grow participation in beach cleanup and habitat restoration activities along the coasts. 

Alaska is the first airline to eliminate plastic water bottles, cups, straws, stir sticks and citrus picks from inflight service, annually reducing more than 2.2 million pounds of plastic waste. Alaska has set voluntary sustainability goals for reducing its environmental impact in carbon, waste, and water – including replacing the top five waste-producing items in onboard service by 2025 – and balancing its water footprint through habitat restoration projects. While Alaska takes steps to eliminate plastics, it also encourages guests to join in reducing waste by bringing their own water bottles to #FillBeforeYouFly.
