The updated edition of the international standard ISO 20121 Event Sustainability Management Systems standard has been released.

This Short Guide steps you through the standard

The standard isn’t a checklist or a how-to-guide on operational impacts management. Rather, it offers a strategic and operational framework, so environmental and socio-economic issues and impacts are considered and embedded across all functional areas and at all times in the event life cycle. 

The standard is suitable for all sizes and types of events, and the system established only needs to be as complex and extensive as the event itself.

First established alongside the London 2012 Olympics and now updated in time for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

It means sustainable event management isn’t reliant on one inspired individual within the event team, who constantly battles to engage the rest of the team who are not considering sustainability issues in their day to day work.
