An evaluation of how sustainability considerations are managed across defined event activities. Audits examine stakeholder engagement, significant issues and the practical controls used in event planning and delivery.
Certification provides recognition of the event sustainability management system within its stated scope. It does not declare an event impact-free, carbon neutral or sustainable in every respect, nor does it validate unrelated environmental claims.

- Application & scope. Define event-related activities, organisational responsibilities, venues and certification boundaries.
- Review & audit planning. Confirm eligibility, impartiality, competence and applicable rules; agree scope, audit time and programme.
- Stage 1 — readiness. Review significant issues, stakeholder engagement, objectives and event delivery arrangements.
- Stage 2 — implementation. Evaluate procurement, operational controls and performance evidence at appropriate event lifecycle stages.
- Nonconformity resolution. Review corrections and corrective actions; verify closure or accept action plans as the applicable rules require.
- Independent certification decision. A competent function independent of the audit evaluates the evidence; certification is issued only when requirements are met.
- Surveillance. Review subsequent activities, changed issues, supplier controls and progress against sustainability objectives.
- Recertification. Reassess the system before certificate expiry and complete the required review and decision for a new cycle.
