    London 2012 aims to inspire with guidelines for sustainable events

    25 Feb 2009
    London 2012 has published new guidelines to ensure its corporate and public events are organised and run in a sustainable way. It is hoped the guidelines will inspire others in the event sector to follow suit.

    London 2012 was also instrumental in developing a new British Standard for a Sustainable Event Management System.

    Between now and 2012 there will be numerous events connected to the Games - including roadshows, conferences, cultural events and promotional launches. The Games themselves will be subject to a sustainability management system being developed by the London 2012 Organising Committee.

    The guidelines will be continually reviewed and updated as necessary. London 2012 Head of Sustainability, David Stubbs, said: 'We launched our Sustainability Plans over a year ago, outlining our overall vision for the Games. Since then we have been drilling down into the detail of each different element - events are a key part of this. Our guidelines will ensure they are arranged and run in the most sustainable way possible.'
