Accreditation for ISO/IEC 20121:2012 Event Sustainability Management System – ESMS
ISO 20121:2012 delineates the prerequisites for an event sustainability management system for any category of event or event-related activity, and offers guidance on adhering to those requirements.
ISO 20121:2012 is pertinent to any entity that desires to:
- establish, execute, uphold, and enhance an event sustainability management system;
- ensure that it is in accordance with its stated sustainable development policy;
- demonstrate voluntary conformity with ISO 20121:2012 through
- first party (self-determination and self-declaration),
- second party (confirmation of conformance by parties having an interest in the organization, such as clients, or by other persons on their behalf), or
- an independent third party (e.g. a certification body).
- ISO 20121:2012 has been formulated to tackle the management of improved sustainability throughout the entire event management cycle.
