VANOC Sustainability Report

For VANOC, Sustainability means managing the social, economic and environmental impacts and opportunities of our Games to produce lasting benefits, locally and globally.

VANOC’s Sustainability Report 2009-10 is the fifth of five public Sustainability Reports prepared between 2005 and 2010. The final report covers the period from August 1, 2009 to April 30, 2010 and documents VANOC’s sustainability performance leading up to and through Games time as well as the majority of the decommissioning phase post-Games.

As part of its bid, Vancouver committed sustainability would be part of every aspect of the Games. The five annual sustainability reports tell VANOC’s sustainability story – what was promised, what VANOC had control over, and ultimately how VANOC performed against its goals.

For the VANOC team, the report provided a benchmark to measure progress and make adjustments as necessary on the road to 2010. For the public, it offers a window on our activities and sustainability performance.

Aside from VANOC’s own reporting, two independent studies examining the impact of the Games are in progress. They are the Olympic Games Impact (OGI) study (www.ogi-ubc.ca) and the Joint Canada-British Columbia Socio-Economic Impact Study of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (www.2010wintergamessecretariat.com).
