Criteria such as ‘buildings’ and ‘sponsorship’ are given a gold, silver or bronze rating – or in the case of ‘renewable energy’, are disqualified. However 'legacy' gets awarded a gold medal. Gray writes: "If they keep to their word then the Games will just be a small part of a massive green regeneration project in East London. A derelict area around Stratford has been converted into a world-class sporting venue surrounded by parkland and with good transport links. It is expected new businesses will spring up. There is also support for young people in the area and the local community." | | | | | | | | | Does your organisation want to market to our newsletter audience of over six thousand social entrepreneurs?
