Opus Agency just achieved the gold standard for sustainable event management. 

This globally recognized framework helps us manage the social, economic, and environmental impacts of every event we touch. From the first brainstorm to the final teardown, it ensures we embed sustainability into our planning and operations, not just individual events. It’s our commitment to continuously improving our approach by tracking and reporting our progress over time. 

“We’ve been championing sustainability for years, from developing our O+ climate-positive event framework to creating comprehensive sustainability playbooks that guide every project,” shares President Dena Lowery. “This work has always been core to who we are. Getting our ISO 20121 certification validates our commitment to sustainability. This certification shows that we’re on the right track and gives us an internationally recognized framework to keep pushing forward. It’s incredibly rewarding to see our years of dedication to sustainable event practices now backed by this global standard.”

Why does it matter?

Let’s be real, events have impact. They use resources, create waste, and affect communities. But they also have the power to drive positive change. When you partner with an ISO 20121–certified agency, you know your events are managed with a globally recognized standard for sustainability. That means:

• Smarter use of resources: We design events that minimize waste, save energy, and use materials responsibly—helping protect your budget and the planet.
  
• Lower risk: With robust systems in place, we anticipate and manage potential issues before they impact your event.
  
• Stronger brand reputation: Your audiences, stakeholders, and employees care about sustainability. Working with an ISO 20121–certified partner supports your own ESG goals and shows you walk the talk.
  
• Consistent excellence: This certification isn’t a one-time badge—it requires continual improvement, so your events benefit from the highest standards year after year.

What changes now?

Everything and nothing. We’re still the same creative, results-driven team you know. We now have an internationally recognized framework backing up our commitment to responsible event management on a global scale. Every event gets our sustainability lens from day one.
