Technical support and equipment rental company, Present, has achieved sustainable event management certification ISO 20121:2012. 

Present offers a comprehensive range of video, streaming, filming, and connectivity services to the events, experiential and broadcast industries. 

ISO20121:2012 provides a recognised framework for sustainable event management. Present has prioritised sustainability since its inception almost 20 years ago as an early adopter and supplier of (what is now called) virtual and hybrid event technology. 

Present MD, Kieron Garlic said: “Achieving this certification is a testament to the hard work of the team and our continuing focus on sustainability. It also underscores the direction we are taking the business. Remote production and broader connectivity services facilitate the wider reach and impact of the events we work on and the content we produce. I am immensely proud of the team’s efforts. What they’ve accomplished will ensure we are not only delivering impactful and valuable services but also delivering them in the most sustainable way.” 

Managing director UK & Ireland at BSI, Matt Page commented: “This certification demonstrates Present’s dedication to both sustainability and purpose from the supplier side of sustainable event delivery.” 

Page added: “Following a rigorous audit, Present proved vital action had been taken to meet the requirements of the Sustainable Events Management System Standard and consider key environmental, social, and economic impacts. BSI is proud to provide support in this area and will continue to work alongside industry and society to accelerate the adoption of sustainable measures.”
