VANOC is the Vancouver 2010 Olymic Organizing Committee... they have a sustainablility commitment across the games, and have done a major amount of environmental consideration in all aspects of the games... however the social aspects have not had the same commitment or investment... however some of the policies that they developed around social aspects have been models for future games, such as adding social components to bids for certain services and goods, and attempting to include social enterprises in the delivery of services.... so several social enterprises will have olympic presence, flowers for all medal winners, the lost and found services, and the buidling of the podiums for the events.... the development of the policies that include social enteprirse criteria within their rfp's has set a precedent.... and is being used in future games, like the Glaskow 2014 Commonwealth Games...
