ISO 20121:2012
Event sustainability management system

Consultancy 20121:2012

ISO 20121:2012 is a standard that specifies requirements for an event sustainability management system (ESMS), providing guidelines for event organizers to plan, execute, and improve the sustainability of events. Hebron Management Consultancy, as an ISO consultancy firm, would likely offer services related to ISO 20121:2012 implementation. Here’s how such consultancy services might be structured:

1 Initial Assessment and Gap Analysis

Consultants from Hebron Management Consultancy would conduct an initial assessment of the organization's current event management practices and sustainability initiatives. This assessment would involve reviewing existing event plans, procedures, and sustainability efforts. A gap analysis would then be performed to identify areas where the organization's practices diverge from the requirements outlined in ISO 20121:2012.

2 Documentation and Implementation

Consultants would assist the organization in developing or enhancing its event sustainability management system to align with ISO 20121:2012 requirements. This may involve creating documentation such as sustainability policies, objectives, action plans, and procedures for integrating sustainability principles into event planning and execution.

3 Stakeholder Engagement

Hebron Management Consultancy would help the organization identify key stakeholders, including event attendees, suppliers, local communities, and regulatory authorities. Consultants would assist in developing strategies for engaging stakeholders in the sustainability planning process and gathering input to inform sustainability initiatives.

4 Training

Training sessions would be provided for event organizers and staff on the principles and requirements of ISO 20121:2012, as well as best practices for integrating sustainability into event management processes. This would include topics such as sustainable procurement, waste management, energy efficiency, and stakeholder engagement.

5 Measurement and Evaluation

Consultants would assist the organization in defining key performance indicators (KPIs) for evaluating the sustainability performance of events. This may involve developing metrics for measuring resource consumption, waste generation, greenhouse gas emissions, and social impacts. Data would be collected and analyzed to track progress and identify areas for improvement.

6 Continuous Improvement

Hebron Management Consultancy would work with the organization to establish mechanisms for continual improvement of its event sustainability management system. This may include conducting post-event reviews, soliciting feedback from stakeholders, and implementing corrective actions to address identified gaps or opportunities.

7 Pre-Certification Support

Consultants would provide support and guidance to prepare the organization for ISO 20121:2012 certification audits. This may involve conducting pre-assessment audits, assisting with documentation preparation, and addressing any non-conformities identified during audits.

Overall, Hebron Management Consultancy would assist organizations in implementing ISO 20121:2012 to enhance the sustainability performance of their events, minimize environmental impacts, and promote social responsibility throughout the event lifecycle. This would help organizations demonstrate their commitment to sustainable development and meet the expectations of stakeholders and attendees.
