You may have read reports recently about the development of a new international standard to mirror BS8901 - to be called ISO20121. This is a fantastic opportunity to get a global benchmark for sustainability in the events industry, and we’re right behind it. It will take some time for the standard to be developed, and it’s likely to launch in 2012 to tie in with the London Olympics.
So - does this mean you should sit back until then? We don’t think so. The new standard is going to be closely modelled on BS8901, and an understanding of the existing standard will be a valuable first step towards compliance with the new ISO.
In a nutshell - if you currently comply with BS8901, it’s 90% likely that you’ll also comply with the new international standard. So now is the time to get started on the systems you need to claim compliance. We’re here to help - let us know if you have questions. As ISO20121 is launched the eventberry site will be adapted to allow you to claim compliance internationally.

You may have read recently that a revised version of BS8901, the British Standard for sustainable events, has been published. At Seventeen we have been strong advocates of the standard and we welcome the new, clearer format for BS8901. Naturally some of the changes may seem complicated at first so we have compiled a short fact sheet explaining our take on the new standard.
Download the factsheet here.
We hope this is helpful - but if you have any other questions please get in touch, we are here to help! We’re also planning another Sustainable Event Summit for 2010 - are you interested in taking part or know someone who would make a good contribution? Drop us a line or call Andrew on 020 7515 5775
