ISO 20121 certification
2 years ago, the Hopscotch Congrès teams committed to implementing the ISO 20121 standard, with certification by Bureau Veritas in June 2024
ISO 20121:2012 applies to Responsible Event Management Systems. It provides requirements and implementation guidance for the planning and implementation of responsible events. It provides requirements and implementation recommendations for the planning and implementation of responsible events. It concerns an organisation's operations and aims to assess the extent to which the three pillars of sustainable development - environmental, societal and economic - are taken into account in a project.
It guarantees that our customers' events are more sustainable and responsible, in line with their own CSR commitments, and thus contribute to the success and added value of their projects.
The strengths of the agencies highlighted by Bureau Veritas are the SMR (responsible management system) steering tool, the network of ISO referents, the é(CO)2 carbon tool, the motivation of the teams and the commitment of the management to these issues.
This certification has been awarded to the agency for the next three years, with annual control audits. Hopscotch Congrès is therefore committed to a process of continuous improvement in its social and environmental challenges.
Constructive dialogue with all our stakeholders has enabled us to strengthen our knowledge and develop new strategies for responsible performance. The result is the identification of 12 major challenges in the performance of our business activities, which are translated into tailor-made action plans for each event organised by HOPSCOTCH CONGRES.
