FESPA has achieved ISO 20121:2012 certification for Sustainable Event Management, with the European Sign Expo 2025 and FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 the first in the speciality print sector to run under the certification.

To achieve the ISO certification, FESPA implemented a range of policies and procedures to address key, measurable objectives, including: waste reduction, energy efficiency, carbon emissions reduction and stakeholder engagement.

Activities were independently audited and verified by the British Standards Institute (BSI) certified awarding body.

Neil Felton, CEO of FESPA, said: “We are thrilled to have achieved the ISO 20121:2012 certification, which proves our dedication to delivering environmentally responsible events and championing the need for the sectors we represent to make continued progress on sustainability.

“We look forward to delivering our 2025 events in accordance with the certified sustainable events management system, and we hope our example inspires our community to look at ways of optimising their sustainability performance.”
