15. OPPORTUNITIES FOR SUPPLIERS
London 2012 was successful in sending signals
about sustainability requirements to the
marketplace, enabling companies to
respond when procurement started.
One supplier said: ‘The Olympics [..]
provided us with the perfect opportunity to
commercially justify some step changing
process innovations.’
Another said: ‘we already had very
stretching targets with regards to
sustainability… the Olympics allowed us to
reap the benefits of this approach as we
were able to work with a like-minded
organisation with the same goals.’

20. FOOD VISION
SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL RESOURCES LTD 20
Five main themes:
Food safety and hygiene
Choice and balance – including a diverse, high quality,
value for money and accessible range of food and
beverage catering for all dietary and cultural
requirements.
Food sourcing and supply chain
Environmental management
Skills and education - not simply short-term initiatives but
rather kick-start the legacy of London 2012 by seeking to
develop the catering and hospitality industry as a whole.
Benchmark standard
All food must achieve this standard or a demonstrable
equivalent and comply with the LOCOG Sustainable Sourcing
Code
Aspirational standards
As many of these standards should be achieved, or a
demonstrable equivalent where food is available and
affordable
E.g. Plant-based produce (fruit, vegetables, salads, cereals)
• Red Tractor Assured, UK Grade 1 or 2 (where Grade 2
relates only to appearance). Where available, British,
seasonal and of high quality, fit for purpose and free from
damage or spoilage.
• Where products are not available from the UK, and not
available under the Red Tractor Assurance Scheme, they
will need to be fully traceable.
• Bananas, tea, coffee and sugar to be Fairtrade.
• LEAF Marque certified
• Organic
• Products that are ethically traded/sourced (including
Fairtrade certified and/or Rainforest Alliance certified)
• GLOBALGAP certified or comparable standard
