Who is it for?

Event Owner/Sponsor

Those organisations that own events, but contract external organizations to manage and deliver their events can implement an event sustainability management system for all their organisation’s event-related activities. A good example is a corporation requiring business events to be produced throughout the year but contracts various companies to do the event production. Another example is a company that sponsors events and who has brand activation at events, or who may in fact create events around their own product/company or brands.
In these cases the organisation would have an event sustainability management system in place to cover all of their event-related activities for their company.
These organisations may additionally require that the event organiser they contract, events they agree to fund through sponsorship, venues they choose to host their events, or other areas of the supply chain are all also compliant with ISO 20121.

Event Owner/Organiser

In this situation an event or series of events would be owned by the same organisation producing them, with production being managed 'in house' rather than outsourced to a professional organising company.

Event Organiser

Companies that are contracted to produce events on behalf of clients can become compliant with the standard. The event organising company will have a management system in place that guides the production of events they manage. It is expected this group will make up the bulk of the entities implementing the standard. For example PCO's or special event production companies

Events

One off or recurring events, whether owned and self-managed, or managed by an external organisation, can have an event sustainability management system in place and become compliant with the requirements of the standard. The scope or boundary would be the event’s activities, rather than other year-round event activities by the organising company or event owner.
In some circumstances an organisation is created just for the production and delivery of a single event, and in this case the management system would apply to both the event and the organising entity who are in reality one and the same as the organizing body has no other activities apart from the event in question.

Venues

Venues that host client’s events, or that run venue-owned events can implement an event sustainability management system and conform to the requirements of the standard. Examples of venues can be hotels with conferencing and gala ballroom facilities, parks and gardens, purpose-built conference centres, stadia and arenas, leisure complexes, sports grounds, exhibition centres, and the huge variety of boutique, unique, small to medium venues.

Suppliers

Those that supply products and services to the event industry can also achieve compliance to the standard for their event-related activities.
This can include labour supply companies such as waste and security staffing, waste companies, power companies, staging and infrastructure, amenities providers, décor and dressing, and of course likely candidates – caterers, food and beverage stallholders and bar operators.
