Economic Benefits


Our Sustainability Performance Objective for Economic Benefits: 
  • To demonstrate that sustainable innovation and practices makes good business sense.
Managed well, events such as the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games can generate sustainable economic benefits for host communities and regions in British Columbia and across Canada, including jobs, business development opportunities, trade and infrastructure improvements. Economic benefits can be created by VANOC, government partners, corporate sponsors, the tourism sector and the broad base of organizations and businesses involved in the Games. These economic benefits can be enhanced by sustainable business practices and innovation.

VANOC is committed to openness and transparency on all issues related to economic performance and responsibility. While applying prudent fiscal management practices, we also want to leverage our spending activities to further the sustainability goals of our host communities and the Olympic Movement.

We address this in the following areas:

Financial Performance
Sustainable Purchasing, Licensing and Business Development
Sustainable Innovation and Practice
