Event Sustainability Management System

What is this standard?

Specifies sustainability management system requirements for event activities.

Who is it for?

Event organisers, venue operators, festival and conference organisers, and the event supply chain.

What triggers an assessment?

• A festival, conference, trade fair or similar event is organised.
• A sponsor or public body wants sustainability assurance.
• A role is held within the event supply chain.

What does it not replace?

• It does not apply automatically to hotels or accommodation businesses; the event role is questioned.
• It does not substitute for event permits.
