10.00 - 11.45     The greenest games and the greatest learning         Platinum suite 1

The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and all of those involved in the design and construction of the Olympic Park have been central to achieving the clear objective of making The Olympics, London 2012,  'the greenest games ever'. Sustainability has been embedded into the planning from the outset, and integrated into the project, from the design philosophy of the main stadium through to the minimisation of waste.  The UK construction sector has learned a great deal from years of ambitious low carbon targets and supporting Government policies, as well as through the experience of large scale projects and the London Olympics 2012.  The opportunity is there to apply that experience and learning to other projects and to be world-leading in sustainable design and construction.
