About this course
- Overview
Sustainable Event Management Online provides an overview of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) and how they can be implemented in your organisation. The course content is based on the requirements of ISO 20121, the International Standard for Sustainable Event Management.
“ISO 20121 offers guidance and best practice to help you manage your event and control its social, economic and environmental impact. Every action counts, from relying on tap water instead of plastic bottles to encouraging use of public transport. You might find that it also helps you cut unnecessary costs.
ISO 20121’s flexible approach means that it can be used for all types of events, from music festivals to school outings. The standard has been developed with input from many different stakeholders, including representatives from the event industry, to make it practical and useful. It addresses all stages of an events’ supply chain and includes monitoring and measuring guidelines. (https://www.iso.org/iso-20121-sustainable-events.html)
