Worldwide TOP Partner Dow Helping to Deliver a Sustainable Nanjing 2014
They may not always be obvious, or even visible, to participants and spectators at the Youth Olympic Games, but the materials and solutions used in some of the Nanjing 2014 venues are at the cutting-edge of sustainable solutions.
Hosting the 2014 Youth Olympic Games has presented Nanjing with an opportunity to set a new benchmark in infrastructure construction, in order to provide great venues during the Games and leave a long-lasting legacy after the Games.
Behind the scenes, Worldwide TOP Partner Dow, one of the world’s leading chemistry companies, has been working with the Organisers of the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games and the local government to help them achieve their sustainability goals.
Both the Nanjing Youth Olympic Centre and the Nanjing Youth Olympic Village are using Dow’s environmentally-friendly materials – (for more details: http://building.dow.com/ap/en/news/20120912.htm)
