What other certifications are there for responsible procurement?
Are your purchases related to event planning? Consider ISO 20121 certification. ISO 20121 is a certifiable standard. Any organization that strictly adheres to it is therefore eligible for the ISO 20121 certification , thereby gaining recognition for its best practices and commitment. This tool is open to all types of events, large or small, recurring or one-time: sporting events, exhibitions, and seminars.
To learn how to implement a responsible events policy without leaving anything out, all companies can voluntarily follow the guidelines of the ISO 20121 standard, revised in 2024.
