Olympic Environmental Reports

In 1994, the International Olympic Committee adopted "environment" as the third principle of Olympism, along with "sport" and "culture". By 1995, Salt Lake City was the first bid-city to have environmental considerations required as part of its overall evaluation to host any Olympic Games. After receiving the bid, the goal for the Games was clear: Leave a legacy of environmental improvement. In February 2002, Salt Lake hosted the most successful Olympic Games in history, and Utah staged the most environmentally friendly sporting event in the world.
