The Certification as a Tool for Environmental Management of Social Events

摘要

Application of environmental management principles can be ensured with the help of many tools. This paper deals with the certification process, which can be considered as a mean for sustainable development of social mass events such as concerts, sport events, festivals, business exhibitions, or religious meetings. Although valuable considering the achieved results, the certification process is still under-emphasized. Therefore, this paper introduces general indicators that can be monitored and analyses and compare particular international certification programs. The described case study proves that international standards can be successfully modified and applied to social events with a local status.
