International Standard ISO 20121 specifies requirements for an event sustainability management system for any type of event or event-related activity and provides guidance on compliance with these requirements.
This International Standard has been designed to help organizations and individuals improve, enhance and standardize the sustainability conditions of the services they offer to customers or subscribers, sometimes with positive and negative social, economic and environmental impacts.
ISO 20121 covers all types and sizes of organizations involved in the design, implementation of events and adapts to different geographical, cultural and social conditions, and addresses event sectors in all three dimensions of sustainability and at all stages of the supply chain, which are as follows:
For organizations with current management systems, it is appropriate to integrate the requirements of this International Standard into their existing systems.
ISO 20121 integration will help every organization:
Business advantage
Organizing events through a process-driven approach to economic, environmental and social impacts while monitoring, measuring and analysing provides opportunities for resource efficiency in supply chain management and reducing event costs.
Reputation advantage
The use of a recognized international sustainability framework for event management will enable organizations
demonstrate their events in a credible and transparent manner.
The implementation of ISO 20121 is facilitated because it is based on the well-known and recognized standards ISO 9001 (quality management system) and ISO 14001 (environmental management system), including the PDCA cycle approach.
Organizations that successfully implement the requirements of the standard will be able to apply for independent recognition of their results through a process called “Certification”.
