The framework
What it is, and why it matters.
ISO 20121 is the international standard for a sustainability management system applied to events. It was originally developed for the London 2012 Olympic Games and is now the global reference for large corporate, sporting, cultural and government events.
Unlike a carbon certification, 20121 covers the management system: planning, sustainability policy, stakeholder identification, supplier control, event operation and post-event review. It is about the process, not just the number.
It applies to any kind of event: corporate conferences, industry trade shows, festivals, awards, conventions, sporting events. The scope covers the whole chain: organization, transport, lodging, catering, materials, waste and communication.
At scale
When the standard updates, the calculation engine is already up to date.
supported frameworks
GHG Protocol, CSRD, IFRS S2, CDP, GRI, SASB, CBAM, SBCE. One single database.
emission factors
IPCC, DEFRA, MCTI, EPA, Ecoinvent. All versioned, with source, year and gas.
