Certification
WE SUPPORT YOUR PATH TO
Certification
Whether you wish to be accredited yourself, for an individual event you are running, or for your company or organisation we can support your journey!
Check out the below options of what is on offer internationally that we are trained in, and believe are the most prominent and beneficial for you.
A Little intro on
The Certifications
Our best recommendations are for each of the below – if you don’t know where to start:
The GHG Protocol is the most established and extensive framework for carbon footprinting. An international acclaimed platform and protocol. We do the reports inhouse and work out all the calculations for you based on your parameters. We can guide you on what needs to be included and not, and how to then utilise the data to actually make change that will reduce your impacts and create engagement in your organisation.
The ISO 20121 is the high end of certification. For those aiming for international acclaim across sectors. We helped put together the new reviewed ISO 20121 standards so we know them inside out.
GRI is a reporting standard that can be used if you want to start the reporting process moving towards ESRS. We are trained in the implementation of GRI, as well as have studied the ESRS system that is coming in in the coming year.
The EIC Standards, Strategy and SEPC our CEO Gayle Murphy was part of creating, so they have our sealed sign of approval and we can guide you on where to start if you want a path to growth that is recognise
Our Partners at the bottom of the page also have some more specialised certifications and commitments you can take, as well as the ‘A Greener Festival’ Award which we also recommend if you want something that reflects your niche.

greenhouse gas protocol
The GHG protocol applies to measuring greenhouse gasses in both the public and private sectors and provides standards that create a common ground for many sustainability certifications and reporting systems.
The GHG protocol applies to measuring greenhouse gasses in both the public and private sectors. It provides standards that create a common ground for many sustainability certifications and reporting systems. As a result, other standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) are built on the GHG protocol.
Because of its relevance, GHG Protocol reporting receives a lot of attention from stakeholders (customers, investors, etc.). The Protocol is now increasingly adopted worldwide as the standard framework for measuring climate risks and climate performance. If you are looking for bracelet.

Scope 1: Emissions from Scope 1 are direct emissions. This means that they directly come from your company’s owned- or controlled source, such as company vehicle fuel emissions.
Scope 2: Emissions in scope 2 cover the indirect emissions from purchased energy sources, such as your company’s consumed electricity or cooling. For example; this would entail the emissions from the burning of fossil fuels at a power station that generates your electricity.
Scope 3: Emissions from scope 3 are the trickiest. They are all the other indirect emissions within your entire value chain. Including the upstream supply chain (suppliers), as well as downstream GHG emissions (e.g. from customer usage). Think of emissions from; your business travels, waste disposal transportation, or investments. For many organizations, scope 3 emissions provide a dominant impact category.
ISO - International Organisation for standardisation
ISO 20121:2012 specifies requirements for an event
sustainability management system for any type of event or event-related
activity, and provides guidance on conforming to those requirements.
ISO 20121:2012 is applicable to any organization that wishes
to:
- establish, implement, maintain and improve an event
sustainability management system; - ensure that it is in conformity with its stated sustainable
development policy; - demonstrate voluntary conformity with ISO 20121:2012 by
- first party (self-determination and self-declaration),
- second party (confirmation of conformance by parties having
an interest in the organization, such as clients, or by other persons on their
behalf), or - an independent third party (e.g. a certification body).
ISO 20121:2012 has been designed to address the management
of improved sustainability throughout the entire event management cycle.
GLOBAL REPORTING INITIATIVE
The GRI Standards enable any organization – large or small, private or public – to understand and report on their impacts on the economy, environment and people in a comparable and credible way, thereby increasing transparency on their contribution to sustainable development. In addition to companies, the Standards are highly relevant to many stakeholders – including investors, policymakers, capital markets, and civil society.
The Standards are designed as an easy-to-use modular set, delivering an inclusive picture of an organization’s material topics, their related impacts, and how they are managed.
Universal Standards – incorporate reporting on human rights and environmental due diligence, in line with intergovernmental expectations, and apply to all organizations;
Sector Standards – enable more consistent reporting on sector-specific impacts;
Topic Standards – list disclosures relevant to a particular topic.

We are on the Sustainability and Social
Impact Committee and a proud contributor to the Sustainable Event Professional
Certificate programme.
The SEPC programme is for those events
professionals interested in accelerating sustainability and social impact in
their organisations and global business events. The programme provides guidance
that will be valuable for reaffirming our industry’s commitment to a recovery
that is resilient, sustainable and equitable.
This course has recently been expanded from
the in-person programme and provides the knowledge and tools for event
strategists to design and implement their own sustainable events. Developed by
a globally diverse group of business events industry leaders and experts in the
areas of sustainability, social impact and event management, this highly
interactive and accessible format takes users on an engaging, insightful and
easy-to-follow journey.
The Sustainable Event Professional
Certificate is comprised of 16 modules that include understanding the business
value of sustainability, improving environmental performance of meetings and
events, and effective methods for achieving social impact goals. As part of the
programme, participants will have access to a digital workbook with activities
to customise a roadmap for their own sustainable event. The course culminates
in a straightforward “Final Sustainable Capstone Project”; a certificate of
completion for 12 CEs and digital badge is awarded as a result.
