ISO 20121: The Gold Standard for Sustainable Events
ISO 20121 is the international standard for sustainable event management, providing a framework that helps organisations reduce the environmental and social impact of their events. Developed ahead of the London 2012 Olympics, it has since become the global benchmark for sustainability in the events industry. More than just a certification, it ensures that every aspect of event planning, from logistics to suppliers, aligns with long-term environmental, social, and economic goals.
At Chab Events, sustainability is a core value. We are actively committed to aligning our operations with ISO 20121 standards, ensuring that every event we produce is as impactful for our clients as it is responsible for the planet.
From choosing local suppliers to reducing single-use materials and tracking carbon footprints, we integrate sustainable practices into every step of event execution. Our internal teams are trained on ISO 20121 principles, and we work with partners who share the same commitment to sustainability.
For Chab Events and our clients, ISO 20121 compliance brings a range of tangible benefits:
These advantages contribute to both more effective events and a positive long-term impact on communities and ecosystems.
Sustainability is no longer optional—it’s the future of the event industry. ISO 20121 provides a scalable, practical roadmap for event professionals looking to lead with purpose. At Chab Events, this standard not only guides our current practices but also shapes our vision for the future: creating immersive, meaningful events that leave a lasting impression.
