TOROC, Italy
Activity: Organising Committee of the XX Olympic Winter Games in 2006
TOROC, the organizing committee of the Olympic Winter Games in Turin 2006 has recently started to register the Winter Games 2006 for EMAS.
TOROC was established to organise, among others, the sports events as well as the opening and closing ceremonies and to manage the Olympic villages, which will host the athletes and the technical staff. The Committee will co-ordinate, for example, the transport and medical services, set up the temporary structures needed for athletes and visitors, plan and promote the cultural program, organise accommodation and transportation for athletes, sports staff, the media and all other personnel involved in the event.
EMAS was chosen as the most suitable tool to manage and interrelate all environmental activities and to communicate to stakeholders all achievements and performances. The project will be carried out in two phases: First, registration will be sought for the planning and arranging of the event. This phase includes the activities preceding the management of the competition venues and focuses especially on the event's planning and the venue's arrangement, including their design and building. TOROC aims at developing an EMS by September 2003 and at publishing the Environmental Statement by spring 2004.
In a second step this registration will be expanded to the management and running of the event. The existing EMS from the first phase will be expanded accordingly. A renewal of the registration covering the additional aspects of the event management is targeted for March 2005.
