ISO 20121

Applicable to events of any type and size, ISO 20121 provides a framework for integrating sustainable practices in all stages of planning and execution. Its goal is to help organizations manage the impacts associated with event celebrations responsibly, promoting continuous improvement and regulatory compliance.
