ISO 20121 :2012

Event sustainability management systems – Requirements with guidance for use

ISO 20121:2012 specifies requirements for an event sustainability management system for any type of event or event-related activity, and provides guidance on conforming to those requirements.
ISO 20121:2012 is applicable to any organization that wishes to:
? establish, implement, maintain and improve an event sustainability management system;
? ensure that it is in conformity with its stated sustainable development policy;
? demonstrate voluntary conformity with ISO 20121:2012 by
1. first party (self-determination and self-declaration),
2. second party (confirmation of conformance by parties having an interest in the organization, such as clients, or by other persons on their behalf), or
3. an independent third party (e.g. a certification body).
ISO 20121:2012 has been designed to address the management of improved sustainability throughout the entire event management cycle.
