What is ISO 20121?
First developed in 2012, with cross-nation input from the event industry, ISO 20121 has been designed to address the need for improved sustainability throughout the entire event management cycle. It offers practical and useful guidance to help you manage any event and control its social, economic and environmental impacts, whether the event is a simple school outing, a wedding, a large business conference or even on a scale such as Glastonbury or The Eurovision Song Contest.
It addresses all stages of an event’s supply chain – every action counts, from relying on tap water instead of plastic bottles to encouraging the use of public transport. It also includes monitoring and measuring guidelines. If you are involved in events management in any way, this standard is for you.
