JFK New Terminal One Releases ESG Report Highlighting Innovation, Energy Resilience and Sustainability Progress

Published

on

Schneider Electric partnership supports one of the most innovative and energy-efficient airport terminal developments in the U.S.

NEW YORK, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The New Terminal One at JFK, the company delivering the new, world-class international terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport, recently announced the release of its inaugural Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, From the Ground Up, with support from SE Advisory Services, Schneider Electric’s global consulting practice. The report underscores the New Terminal One’s continued progress in building climate-resilient infrastructure, expanding energy efficiency initiatives, and investing in innovative technologies to support long-term sustainable airport operations.

The ESG report highlights key milestones across environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and governance as the New Terminal One advances construction toward its first phase opening in 2026. Central to these efforts is an innovative microgrid energy system – among the largest in the New York City area – and one of the largest solar arrays installed on any U.S. airport terminal. The energy infrastructure, designed and being delivered by AlphaStruxure and featuring Schneider Electric equipment, will enhance resiliency, reduce environmental impact, and support reliable operations amid regional grid disruptions and extreme weather events.

“As we build a transformational international travel experience in the United States, sustainability and resilience are not add-ons; they are foundational,” said Uzoamaka N. Okoye, Chief of Staff, The New Terminal One at JFK. “This ESG report also showcases our commitment to integrating innovation, energy efficiency and responsible development into every phase of the project, from construction through future operations.”

Designed to serve up to 23 million passengers annually upon full completion, the new terminal will span 2.6 million square feet across a 134-acre footprint at completion and represents a $9.5 billion investment. The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, with two new terminals, two expanded and modernized terminals, a new ground transportation center and an entirely new, simplified roadway network. Once complete, the New Terminal One will feature 23 gates and support more than 10,000 jobs, including over 6,000 union construction positions throughout the life of the project.

Environmental progress detailed in the report includes:

Development of a resilient, on-site microgrid energy systemDeployment of all-electric ground support equipment as part of terminal operationsWaste and water management strategies to reduce environmental footprintProgress toward LEED Gold certification for building design and construction

The New Terminal One has partnered with TCR, a global leader in ground support equipment (GSE) solutions, to provide an all-electric GSE fleet at the new world-class international gateway. The New Terminal One is the first airport terminal in the world to commit to a centralized fleet of all-electric ground support equipment. Operating a fully electric GSE fleet through an innovative pooling model is a key part of the New Terminal One’s sustainability strategy, which supports the Port Authority’s goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the agency’s airports and facilities by 2050.

The ESG report also outlines the New Terminal One’s role in supporting the local economy and community, including a $1.72 million investment in outreach programs focused on business development, education, workforce development, and environmental stewardship. Additionally, the organization has issued more than $3.9 billion in green bonds across 2024 and 2025 to finance sustainable infrastructure, supported by third-party verification to ensure transparency and accountability.

Schneider Electric has played a key role in enabling the New Terminal One’s energy and digital infrastructure strategy, helping embed digitalization across critical terminal systems – from passenger-facing technologies to operational and energy management platforms.

“JFK New Terminal One is setting a new benchmark for sustainable, future-ready airport infrastructure,” said Chris Collins, Senior Vice President, Digital Buildings, Schneider Electric. “Through innovation, electrification and resilient energy systems, New Terminal One shows how advancing energy technologies can help large-scale infrastructure reduce environmental impact and enhance operational reliability.”

With construction advancing and major systems coming online, the ESG report marks an important milestone on the New Terminal One’s roadmap to opening and ongoing operations. The full report offers a comprehensive snapshot of progress to date and outlines how each initiative supports the terminal’s broader climate and resilience goals.

Pioneering Higher Education Technology Firm Stellic Named 2026 Student Success Platform of the Year

Published

By

Award-winning platform is now helping more than 1 million students navigate complex academic journeys, make informed decisions, and chart clearer pathways to graduation and career success

SAN MATEO, Calif., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stellic—the developer of the popular academic planning and degree management platform that now serves more than 1 million students across more than 100 colleges and universities—today announced that it has been selected as winner of the “Student Success Platform of the Year” award by EdTech Breakthrough. The award program, now in its eighth year, recognizes breakthrough educational technology products and companies reshaping how the world learns from K-12 and higher education to corporate L&D and lifelong learning.

“Every student makes hundreds of decisions on the way to a degree, and most of them are harder than they should be,” said Sabih Bin Wasi, co-founder and CEO of Stellic. “The information exists, it’s just not connected in a way students, or staff, can actually use. That’s the problem our team and our partners show up to work on every day. This recognition reflects the real demand for that kind of clarity in higher education, and our dedication to delivering it.”

At a time when more than 40 million Americans have some college but no credential, and student pathways increasingly span multiple institutions, transfer credits, and learning experiences, navigating higher education has become more complex than ever. Students are often asked to make high-stakes academic decisions with information scattered across disconnected systems, creating barriers that can delay progress and derail completion.

Stellic brings critical information together in a student-facing platform that helps learners understand degree requirements, track progress, evaluate transfer credits, identify the right courses and connect with support before small obstacles become significant barriers to completion. The platform helps students make the hundreds of decisions that shape their college experience with greater confidence by providing a clear view of their progress, options, and opportunities, while giving institutions the insights needed to remove barriers and improve outcomes. Stellic’s suite of tools includes Progress for degree management, Care for proactive advising, and Explore for transfer credit evaluation.

Stellic is redefining academic planning and degree management by helping institutions connect the data, decisions, and support systems that shape a student’s path from enrollment through graduation. Colleges and universities are seeing measurable results using the platform.

At Santa Monica College, the platform helped identify more than 5,400 previously unrecognized degrees and certificates, expanding recognition of student achievement. At Carnegie Mellon University, approximately 80% of students use Stellic to navigate degree requirements and academic planning. At Texas Christian University, 90% student adoption has supported more than 40,000 academic planning actions and 23,000 advising appointments, helping create a more connected and proactive advising experience.

Over the past year, more than 14 million interactions moved through the Stellic platform, including 11.5 million student sessions and 2.5 million faculty and staff sessions. Those interactions represent students mapping degree pathways, evaluating transfer credits, selecting courses, tracking progress toward graduation, and making the everyday decisions that determine whether they stay on track.

The recognition caps a year of continued growth and momentum for Stellic. Today, more than 100 colleges and universities—including community colleges, public and private institutions, and leading research universities—rely on Stellic’s platform to help students make informed decisions, navigate degree requirements, and stay on track to completion.

EdTech Breakthrough’s competitive selection process, evaluated by a panel of industry experts, assesses entries across six core criteria—innovation, performance, ease of use, functionality, value, and impact. This year’s award program drew a record number of nominations from innovators across more than 20 countries, with thousands of entries evaluated across categories spanning the full learner lifecycle—from student engagement and classroom management to workforce development, corporate learning, and postsecondary student success.
