Two meetings have been held each year with about 50 representatives from 20 to 25 sponsor companies and Olympics organizers. Sponsors discussed environment and the Olympic Games, the role of environmental groups, risk management, media, packaging, waste management, life cycle analysis, and environmental communications and marketing. Some of the sponsors have made contributions to the greener nature of these Olympic Games. Fuji Xerox has offered remanufactured machines for Olympics offices. EnergyAustralia is offering renewable energy, energy efficiency services and solar energy projects.
Recycling is popular for the Sydney Olympics.
Visy is using recycled paper packaging, recycled plastic products and cardboard for furniture. Olex is using PVC-free cables. Lindemans Wines has developed recyclable plastic wine glasses. The Royal Australian Mint and the Perth Mint are offering PVC-free coin packaging. Bovis Lend Lease, part of the consortium that constructed the Olympic Athletes' Village, has been given Prime Minister John Howard's Living Cities Award for Urban Environmental Leadership, in part for its work on building projects within Homebush Bay.
