Topic: reCycling: Leadership and Management by Mr George-Emmanuel Denjean, Cycling for All and International Cycling Union (UCI) Golden Bike Coordinator 8th World Conference on Sport and the Environment International Cooperation and Development Department Report Mr Denjean advised that the UCI has an Environmental Policy and a key component is its green strategy called “reCycling”. He described how cycling is very close to the environment, meaning that there must be a strong commitment to protect the environment. The aim of the UCI is to go beyond good intentions. It concentrates on areas where environmental actions can have a direct and signifi cant impact, with a focus on results, and an emphasis on networking with international experts, and informing stakeholders why it is important to have them involved in projects. UCI has produced a Guide which has eight major objectives and other objectives under each of them. Many different organisations use that Guide, all of which have different focuses. Site Selection and Construction A video is showed about Whistler Olympic Park, which includes three venues (cross-country skiing, biathlon, and ski jumping). The key lessons from this project are: A site with existing commercial and industrial uses was selected and every effort was made to shrink the size of the venue and apply innovative environmental solutions to reduce impact, including composting and reuse of site-clearing materials; an Aboriginal-owned company called Resource Business Ventures which was a key contractor in site construction; and the venue’s post-Olympic use was always a key consideration in its design and construction. Key message: 1. Design for Less 2. Leverage green building guidelines 3. Integrate sustainability in values and plans. Key lesson: At the beginning, the environmental monitor and the contractor had a contentious relationship. But with time, the relationship became more collaborative and ultimately it was a team effort among all construction contractors and with stakeholders. Topic: Site, Venue and Offi ce Management by Mr David Stubbs, London 2012 Olympic Games Organising Committee, London 2012 Sustainable Event Guidelines Mr Stubbs began by stating that the life of an organising committee involves many events, not just the Olympic Games. Thus, the Olympic Organising Committee is really an event organising company. Mr Stubbs advised that during the 2012 bid, he was concerned that normal requirements for international management requirements do not apply easily because an event is a one-off thing. As a result, London 2012 spoke with the British Standards Offi ce to create a standard for event management. British Standard 8,901 is specifi c to events for: a) Planning b) Implementation c) Evaluation. Mr Stubbs stated that simple guidelines are needed when an event is being organised (“Like a 1 pager”) so that they can be given to the marketing team and sponsors. London 2012 recently published guidelines for one-off events. Page 19 / 80
Sustainable Event Management includes: 1. Planning: determine what impacts and issues you are dealing with 2. Implementation: deliver actions and record progress, and communicate achievements 3. Measuring Success: document outcomes and analyse feedback. Mr Stubbs stated that a sustainable event has the following characteristics: 1. Accessible and inclusive setting for all 2. Safe and secure atmosphere 3. Minimal negative impacts on the environment 4. Responsible sourcing 5. Excellent customer experience 6. Encourages more sustainable behaviour and healthy living 7. Positive legacy. Key message 1. Operating effi ciently involves working with staff, volunteers, and supply chain 2. Providing guidelines, training and check-ups. Topic: Waste Management by Ms Natalie Seaba, VANOC, Integrated Waste Management 8th World Conference on Sport and the Environment International Cooperation and Development Department Report Ms Seaba described VANOC’s Integrated Waste Management Strategy, which includes a target of diverting 85% of waste from landfi ll. Challenge: Ms Seaba stated that the high presence of security during the Games will have an impact, particularly in the movement of waste trucks. Key elements of the strategy are: 1. Source reduction: limit packaging of products 2. Reuse: Such as renting or post-Games use of products 3. Recycle/Compost 4. Residual waste disposal 5. Communications plan: includes training, dispersal of information. Topic: Community and Supply Chain by Ms Jill Porter, Manager of Social Inclusivity, VANOC Ms Porter presented three examples of how VANOC has engaged with stakeholders to nurture sustainable sourcing practices: 1. Victory Bouquets: 1,500 bouquets will be delivered through collaboration between a North Shore fl ower supplier with an organisation that helps at-risk women and members of the First Nations. Key Lesson: It shines a light on awarding contracts to a social enterprise. 2. Rona Fabrication Shop: This is a partnership between VANOC with RONA where four different Page 20 / 80
