ISO 20121

Sustainable Events Management System

The standard ISO 20121 – Management system for the sustainability of events was developed to support events’ organizers of all kinds – sports, business, cultural, political – in integrating sustainability into their activities so as to guarantee a positive legacy following their realization.

ISO 20121 provides a framework for identifying, reducing and eliminating the potentially negative impacts of events in the environmental, social and economic spheres, such as the generation of large volumes of waste, material waste, excessive consumption of resources (water and energy) and problems for the surrounding communities, as well as for maximizing their positive impacts, such as the creation of a wide range of public, community and economic benefits, through better planning and improved processes.

It is applied to all members of the events’ industry supply chain, including organizers, event managers, stand constructors and logistics operators. The standard has a management system approach which will be fairly familiar for thousands of organizations around the world that adopt other certifiable standards such as ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management).

The main benefits of the implementation and subsequent certification in accordance with this benchmark include:

Systematic approach by the organization to the principles of sustainability;

Consistent monitoring of the organization’s performance in the field of sustainability;

Reduction of operational costs, waste management and carbon emissions;

Increased efficiency in the use of resources throughout the entire supply chain;

Increased ability to identify, correct and prevent potentially risky situations;

Reduced risk of damage to the organization’s reputation through a better management of the supply chain.
