INTRO TEXT: Be it a music festival or sporting event for thousands, a school nativity play or local fun run, Britain loves having fun. But more and more, we are demanding events that are environmentally friendly, ethically sound and of benefit to the economy.
Now BSI British Standards provides a system for managing the overall environmental, economic and social impact of an event. BS 8901 is a new standard which sets out the requirements for planning and managing a sustainable event. Climate change, the protection of historic sites, equal opportunities and investment in local skills are just a few of the wide-ranging considerations to be made when planning an event.
To claim compliance with the standard an organisation must define and implement its sustainability policy, monitor and evaluate the event against key performance indicators and eventually review the event, feeding conclusions back into the policy to positively affect future events.
