Free ISO 20121 Sustainable Event Management Systems templates and checklists, ready to download and adapt.
ISO 20121 is the international standard for sustainable event management systems. It helps organisations plan and deliver events that reduce their environmental, social and economic impact, and it suits event organisers, venues, suppliers and any business involved in bringing events to life.
Building a sustainable event management system means setting objectives, engaging stakeholders and showing continual improvement across the event life cycle. Proven documents help your team put these principles into practice.
These free ISO 20121 templates and checklists give you a practical starting point. Run the gap analysis to see where you stand, use the internal audit checklist to test your system, and adapt the sustainability policy templates and registers to your events. Together they help you implement and audit an event management system that supports genuine sustainability.
Run your ISO 20121:2024 internal audit without missing a clause. Every requirement from Clause 4 to Clause 10 is laid out with space for evidence, conformity and follow up actions.
Stop starting from scratch on your sustainable development policy. This ready to customise template is structured to ISO 20121:2024 and covers the statement, commitments, communication, approval and version control.
