Significant Risk
We understand from LOCOG that sustainability information will be provided on bags and that staff will be trained to provide sustainability information. Throughout the programme we have encouraged LOCOG to do something distinctly different with merchandise in a similar way to the Eden Project in Cornwall. This has not happened and the merchandise on sale is a very conventional range of products offered by any event. We have challenged LOCOG frequently on this issue but to no avail. We have been advised on more than one occasion that they 'are not a National Trust gift shop'. Significant Risk
