Version two of the Sustainability Plan was published in June 2018 under the guiding principle of “Be better, together – For the planet and the people.” The Progress Report details achievements to date in the areas of climate change, resource management, the natural environment and biodiversity, human rights, labour and fair business practices, as well as involvement, cooperation and communications. It was published in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards Core Option – a set of international standards governing sustainability reporting.
Tokyo 2020 CEO Toshiro Muto commented, “With about one year and four months left until the Games, the year 2019 will see Tokyo 2020 undergo a sea change as we transition from the planning phase to the operations phase, which will entail a shift in focus to the respective Games competition venues. This year will be extremely important in our efforts to ensure that sustainability is given adequate consideration. All members of Tokyo 2020 will work as one to cultivate a deeper awareness of their respective roles and ensure that sustainability is incorporated into all of our activities as we look toward 2020 and beyond.”
