    The key takeaways are that standards help define best practices for sustainability in the events sector in a consistent way globally. BS 8901 and ISO 20121 were created to provide guidance to help events consider their environmental and social impacts.

    The 2012 London Olympics inspired the creation of the first sustainable events standard, BS 8901, in the UK. The success of implementing sustainability measures for that event showed the value of having agreed guidelines.

    The development of ISO 20121 involved multiple international meetings over several years for stakeholders to provide input and feedback. It progressed from the initial standard draft through voting and revisions to be published as a formal International Standard in 2012.

    What are standards?

    Standards are a voluntary agreed way of doing
    things
    Standards are written in a specific way so their
    requirements can be understood by standard
    bodies around the world
    ISO Standards have special attributes, as certain
    rules to ensure transparency, integrity and fairness
    must be followed


    Why create a standard for the event sector?

    London 2012 inspired the creation of BS8901
    BS 8901 started work in early 2006 :
    Wide stakeholder engagement via workshops
    Review of existing international event sustainability
    guidelines
    Trials of the standard
    The creation of a second draft to deal with gaps
    identified launched in 2009

    The journey of BS 8901

    The journey of ISO 20121
    In January 2010 the first of five international meetings took
    place for the working group for ISO 20121
    3 representatives from each countrys mirror committee
    were able to attend and represent national comments
    Significant time was spent working on the guidance
    section as the working group were keen to provide support
    for the industry
    The working group began to implement the standard and
    provide feedback based on their own experience

    ISO 20121 will provide
    opportunities:
    To consider
    sustainability at every
