Sustainable Events with ISO 20121

As our world becomes smaller we need to constantly rethink the social and environmental impact of our actions on personal, community and business levels.

Modern technology wired us together – but nothing will replace the face to face meetings. It can be a social gathering or a team building event, Olympics or a scouts outing.

In June 2012 ISO published a new standard that provides practical tools for sustainable managing of events of all types and sizes.

The first international event that proudly followed the ISO 20121 guidelines was London 2012 Olympics.  

The standard is beneficial to a variety of actors and parties involved in event organization, planning and execution. It provides guidelines on how to cut costs and use resources efficiently via monitoring and measuring.  

However, ISO 20121 is NOT a checklist and is difficult to understand. If you’re interested in learning more about sustainability please contact us at http://c-bg.com/company/contactus.aspx.
