Grooveyard is proud to announce that we have maintained our ISO 20121 certification for sustainable event management, a globally recognised benchmark for embedding sustainability across the events we create and deliver. First achieved in 2024, this certification reflects a year of continued innovation, independent audits, and measurable action. It demonstrates that sustainability is not a buzzword for us but a practical framework shaping everything we do, from planning and logistics to power, staging, and reporting.

What sustainable event management means for our clients

• Impact without compromise: Creativity and sustainability go hand in hand.
• Clear, credible reporting: Shareable pre- and post-event metrics for your stakeholders.
• Stronger supply chains: Vendors who meet rigorous environmental and ethical standards.
• Reduced risk: Compliance, safety, and due diligence are built into our process.
• Practical innovation: Smarter logistics, circular builds, modular staging, and right-sized power.

How We Make It Real

• Design first: Considering carbon, accessibility, and community benefits at concept stage.
• Materials and build: More reuse and rentals, certified timber, and fewer single-use items.
• Travel and logistics: Consolidated loads, optimised routes, and lower-emission choices.
• Energy: Cleaner power options with smarter load management.
• Waste: Prevention first, with maximum recovery through proper segregation.
• People and place: Inclusive experiences and fair work practices that leave a lasting positive impact

Part of a longer, sustainable journey

Our ISO 20121 certification builds on existing commitments such as EcoVadis recognition, but it is not a finish line. It is an ongoing promise to push for better, smarter, and more sustainable event management. By maintaining this standard, Grooveyard continues to set the pace for sustainable practices in the events industry, ensuring our clients benefit from innovative solutions and measurable outcomes.

Retaining this certification reaffirms our belief that exceptional events and sustainability can go hand in hand. It challenges us to innovate further, collaborate closely with our partners, and remain transparent in how we measure and report our impact. For our clients, it means bold, creative delivered with care for the planet and communities we touch, and for our team, it reinforces our shared mission to leave a positive legacy through every event we deliver.
