sustainability management systems
ISO 20121 certification offers your organization numerous advantages, underscoring a commitment to sustainable event management aligned with recognized international standards. Here are some key benefits of obtaining ISO 20121 certification:
Demonstration of Sustainable Practices:
ISO 20121 certification validates that your organization's event management system adheres to internationally recognized sustainable practices, showcasing your commitment to environmental, social, and economic responsibility.
Competitive Advantage: Enhance your market position by building trust with stakeholders, clients, and the community.
Demonstrating a proactive approach to sustainability can differentiate your organization from competitors and attract new business opportunities.
Stakeholder Confidence:
By adhering to the principles of ISO 20121, you reassure stakeholders of your commitment to reducing the environmental impact of events, promoting responsible resource usage, and ensuring social accountability.
Business Growth: The certification can help attract new customers and retain existing ones who value sustainability, thereby potentially increasing revenue. It also opens doors to markets where sustainability credentials are a prerequisite.
The core aim of ISO 20121 is to promote sustainability in event management across three key dimensions:
Environmental Stewardship:
Ensuring that events are planned and managed to minimize their environmental footprint through efficient resource use, waste reduction, and mitigation of environmental impacts.
Social Responsibility: Ensuring that events contribute positively to society by promoting inclusivity, ensuring safety and security, and enhancing the well-being of all participants and the local community.
Economic Viability:
Planning and conducting events in a financially responsible manner that considers long-term economic benefits for the organization, its stakeholders, and the community.
What about the cost?
We have never inflated our fees with unnecessary costs, so what you pay for in your certification audit is the number of days needed to audit your operations. It’s individual for each company, depending on your size, operational complexity, and the standards you are looking to get certified to.
