Any type of event, from the sporting event to the musical concert, from the scientific congress to the film festival, including commercial events and those of a political nature directly affect the environment and economy at different levels, just think of the use and expenditure of resources that these entail: water consumption, electricity, waste production, effects on biodiversity, organization and logistics management, impact on the territory, but also careful selection and use of workers and suppliers.
First applied at the London 2012 Olympics, the ISO 20121 standard sets out the requirements for organising sustainable events that have minimal impact on the environment and community, and help strengthen relationships with stakeholders, from local authorities to suppliers and customers, from workers to participants and spectators.
