What is ISO 20121?

ISO 20121 is an international standard that outlines the methods that organisations in the events sector must implement in order to increase the long-term viability of their services, products, and/or general operations. The guideline directs the management of social, economic, and environmental implications by organisations of all sizes. The standard not only tackles these issues, but it also covers every level of the event's supply chain. Because the standard is adaptable, it adapts to the diverse cultures and natures of the various organisations hosting the event.

Why is Event Sustainability Management important for you?

Events, no matter how big or small, can make a lasting impression on society and the environment by generating hazardous waste. You will be able to host the same event with fewer risks and consequences if you become ISO 20121 certified. Furthermore, rather than relying on ad hoc responses when accidents arise, you will be able to continuously improve the procedures and take preventative actions early. ISO 20121 benefits not just the event organisers, but also the owners, employees, supply chain, attendees, and surrounding communities.

You will demonstrate to the audience that you care about the social, environmental, and economic implications of your events by becoming ISO 20121 certified. Similarly, you will receive international recognition for your environmentally friendly services and goods. This means that having an ISO 20121 certification will not only safeguard your environment, but also save your costs and enhance your revenues.
