There are 3 Phases:
1. Planning
2. Implementation
3. Monitoring and Control
Phase 1: Planning involves developing a policy for sustainability, identifying and engaging with your stakeholders and identifying the key sustainability issues. From this, sustainability performance objectives, preferred solutions, key performance indicators and targets need to be defined.
Phase 2: Implementation involves the development and adoption of the key elements of the sustainable event management system including:
Phase 3: Monitoring and Control involves the implementation of procedures to measure your performance against your targets and to correct any non-conformities. Sustainable event management system audits and management reviews will need to be carried out periodically and lessons learned will need to be implemented to demonstrate continual improvement.
Note: The standard requires organisations to develop their own maturity matrix to demonstrate progression in terms of the application of sustainable development principles and to track progress through successive event cycles.
The overall approach is illustrated in the diagram below:
