What is Green Venue Certification?
Certifications that recognise venues meeting environmental standards, such as ISO 20121 for sustainable events. Green certifications help organisers choose lower-impact venues for meetings and events.
Why it matters
Choosing a certified green venue simplifies carbon reporting for event organisers and demonstrates commitment to sustainability. ISO 20121 certified venues have verified environmental management systems, which helps organisers meet their own sustainability objectives.
Example
A pharmaceutical company's events team adopts a policy of only booking ISO 20121 certified venues for its UK conferences. The certified venues provide energy and waste data as standard, making carbon reporting straightforward.
