Sustainable Solutions‘ Meet the Buyers’
on Thursday 15th March 2007 at the Emirates Stadium, London
Shaun commented:“ As an independent assurance body, reporting directly to the Olympic Board, the commission will focus on assuring sustainability targets which will deliver immediate and long lasting benefits. From decisions on how suppliers and sponsorship partners are chosen, to promoting fair training and long term employment opportunities and tackling global issues such as climate change, sustainability and the London Games can set an example for the rest of the world to follow.”
The commission is currently seeking experts from social, economic and environmental fields in London and the UK to apply for membership.
Shaun said getting the right mix of experts from London and the UK would be critical to the commission’ s success.
He said:“ This type of assurance body has never existed before. In recent times Games organisers have focused on the environment- the Sydney Games was promoted heavily as being the green games and recently Turino was commended for the sustainable management system which was in place. However, the 2012 programme for London is going a step further.”
