A new model for assurance
'We have set ourselves two very challenging aims - to stage not only the greatest Games ever but, as importantly, those Games in 2012 must be the most sustainable in the history of the modern Olympics. This overriding principle has been built into our plans from the word go and I am confident that with Shaun McCarthy’s expert leadership and this team he has recruited we will set the sustainability standards that will become the benchmark for the hosting of all future Olympic and Paralympic Games.'

Can procurement help?
“One of the most effective ways we found to deliver a sustainable Games is to embed sustainability upfront in the procurement process. Our Sustainable Sourcing Code is inspiring change amongst our suppliers, sponsors and licensees, who see the business advantages of sourcingsustainably”
Paul Deighton – CEO London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games – April 2011

“ We want our One Planet Olympics to be the most complete and sophisticated expression of sustainable development ever delivered on a city-wide scale. We want it to benefit not just London and the UK, but to be a credit to the Olympic Movement as a whole.”
Lord Coe, Environment Forum, 7 March 2005
“We have always maintained that, taken in isolation, delivering and Olympic and
Paralympic Games is an inherently un-sustainable thing to do. We therefore
cannot call the programme truly sustainable unless the inspirational power
of the Games can be used to make a tangible, far reaching difference”
