Do you want to demonstrate that your event is implementing ISO 20121:2024 and advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals?
In Autumn 2023 we launched our first MVP (minimum viable product) and in Summer 2024 our second MVP. The full platform is still in development but we want to gather feedback and help people to start taking action now.
Are you ready to identify credible and creative actions to take so your event can demonstrate implementation of ISO 20121:2024 and action on climate change, gender equality and meeting Race to Zero requirements?
Use the early version of Event Sustainability
If you are an event organiser ready to take action and deliver your event in a way that advances the UN sustainable development goals Eventsustainablity is for YOU
The global event sector marketplace is predicted to be worth between $2.5 trillion and $3.3 trillion by 2035. Every event, concert, meeting or community gathering will have someone who is the organiser and Eventsustainability is a time saving, credibility enhancing tool that all organisers can use.
Eventsustainability solves the following problems:
1- Event organisers do not have the time to learn the actions to take so their event is more sustainable
2- Event organisers are not sustainability experts and need support to translate concepts like ‘materiality’ into credible event actions
3- Event organisers are increasingly under pressure to report on their sustainability impacts
What is EventSustainability?
Constantly evolves in collaboration with its user community
Gives a % of income to support not-for-profit Positive Impact to continue their advocacy work, including awareness-raising on ISO 20121 and the Race to Zero
Is suitable for event-owners and the event supply chain in all sizes of company in any geographic location
What can you expect from Eventsustainability:
As of December 2025 Eventsustainability is at MVP stage and being piloted with a number of event professional communities including SMEs and Sports
Users will have a dashhboard and complete a template with the details of their event
Users will take a 10 minute materiality assessment which will identify the 3 most relevant sustainable development goals for their event
Users will create a checklist of practical event actions based on their materiality, using AI and proprietary information from non profit Positive Impact
In the near future users will be able to forecast their impact and report according to global best practice requirements (including ISO 20121:2024)
