Where possible, timber is reused on the Olympic Park. If not, it will be supplied from sustainable sources

The group of companies that will supply all the timber for the construction of the venues and infrastructure for the London 2012 Games has been announced by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA).

The Timber Supply Panel will ensure that only sustainable timber is used during the project and that it is from wholly legal sources, helping to make London 2012 a truly ‘green’ Games.

The Panel announcement came as the ODA published a new progress report on its sustainability targets and achievements to date.

Dan Epstein, ODA Head of Sustainability, said: ‘Sustainability underpinned London’s bid for the 2012 Games, and is now at the heart of the ODA’s work to design and build the London 2012 venues and infrastructure.’
