This document is a technical report that outlines the BS ISO 20121:2024 standard, which provides a framework for integrating sustainability into the planning and delivery of events. It is designed for organizations of all sizes within the global event sector supply chain. The standard was initially launched in 2012 and has undergone revisions to remain relevant, with the latest updates inspired by the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The report details the benefits of using the standard, including cost reduction, increased productivity, and enhanced stakeholder engagement. It also discusses the importance of considering sustainability at every decision point and provides guidance on how to implement the standard effectively. Key changes in the revised version include a greater focus on climate change, human rights, and the supply chain's role in sustainability. The report emphasizes that successful implementation involves establishing a culture of sustainability rather than merely achieving certification.
