Sustainability
Our mission
Our mission
Sustainability and the environment were at the heart of London’s successful bid for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The Park will respect these promises, creating a sustainable development in tune with the world’s changing climate and resource needs.
Using the best of the Games' infrastructure, innovation and inspiration, the Park is designed with sustainability at its heart. This means both that it is being built in a sustainable way, and that it is being built to help its future visitors and residents to live sustainably.
Existing venues, new schools and developing communities are embedding sustainability into their design and day to day operations. Ensuring the sustainability of the infrastructure on the Park means residents, visitors and workers in the local community can live environmentally friendly lifestyles.

These reports reflect our continued commitment to environmental sustainability at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and presents the progress made under our seven key environmental themes during each annual reporting period. The most recent reports can be found below:
