Sustainable Event Solutions specialises in helping event organisers, venues and event suppliers in designing, developing and implementing sustainability management systems to meet the requirements of BS 8901. By working closely together we can help you to improve your business and embed the practices that will enable you to comply with the standard and differentiate yourself in the marketplace.
So why has BS 8901 come about? Environmental and social issues are becoming a major concern of governments, industry and the public alike. From climate change to social justice, industry is increasingly being challenged to carry out its business in a more sustainable manner.
British Standard BS 8901 is the world’s first certifiable management system standard on sustainability. The standard has been specifically developed for the events industry. By adopting this standard, the events industry has the opportunity to lead the world in addressing the sustainability issues facing us all today.
The standard will enable you to identify opportunities to improve efficiency, cut costs and improve reputation and brand image.
Pressure to adopt the standard is likely to arise from event clients such as corporations, local authorities and regulators that have implemented sustainable policies themselves. In addition, event attendees and delegates are becoming increasingly aware of the need to address sustainability. Most noticeably, the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (LOCOG) in its London 2012 Sustainable Event Guidelines expects companies and organisations to be working towards implementation of BS 8901.
Adopting BS 8901 will therefore provide competitive advantage as event clients, regulators, delegates and other key stakeholders choose to work with organisations that have adopted the standard.
