No.5 Beijing 2022 Winter Games Olympics gets praises for event sustainability management
   
Taking sustainability as core concept and conducting event sustainability management, Beijing Organising Committee for Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games gets many praises. Thomas Bach, President of IOC, gave a highly praise of the efforts that Beijing Organising Committee for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games made on practicing sustainability concept, while visiting Beijing Wukesong Culture & Sports Center on August 26.
 
Reason for listing:
 
The pilot action and its achievement of Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games in the stadium construction, supplier management, resource management and other aspects of sustainability management not only demonstrate China’s determination and strength to hold a great Olympic Games, but also will bring rich experiences and assets to the Olympics. This is another manifestation of our country’s move from a gold medal power to an Olympic power.
 
It is worth mentioning that, with the huge influence and driving force of the Olympics, the event sustainability management system is bound to be more widely used in many other industries in China, such as conventions, hotels, and entertainment, to build a greener, more culturally advanced and low-carbon lifestyle, modes of travel and social atmosphere.
