Event sustainability management – Standard in development

Work on 'Event sustainability management system' ISO 20121 has reached the next stage in its development to become an international Standard in sustainability for the event industry. International Organization for Standardization's (ISO) project committee ISO/PC 250 'Sustainability in event management' will produce the Standard.

The decision to advance to the third of five steps of the ISO Standard development process was made during the project committee's second meeting in April 2010. The meeting included experts from Austria, Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, China, France, Japan, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, and the United States of America in attendance, with representatives from Canada and Germany joining via weblink. Experts were also present from Meeting Professionals International, the Green Meetings Industry Council, and the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry.

Risk management Standard – new guidance document proposed

A new work item is being proposed for the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to provide implementation guidance to the risk management framework and process defined in ISO 31000:2009 Risk management – Principles and guidance.

The purpose of this work item would be to develop a guidance document that provides greater detail and information on how to establish risk management in any organisation. The work would build on core elements of ISO 31000:2009.
