Sustainable Venues
We began operations at our sport venues in 2007-08, allowing us to implement and refine our operational Environmental Management Plans and test our planning for Games time around areas such as the use of volunteers and environmental monitoring. Going forward, we will continue to embed environmental management practices and protocols into our venue operations and Games services, work with our partners to develop our wildlife legacy program and introduce sustainable sport event guidelines.
We also continue developing our venues in accordance with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building ratings system and began working towards certification for relevant buildings.
