The Opus Group network is now fully ISO 20121 certified across all three agencies.

With Opus Agency and MAS joining Verve (accredited in 2014) in earning this internationally recognised standard for sustainable event management, Opus Group’s clients now have access to certified sustainable event expertise across all of its agencies. With brands increasingly relying on international agency networks to deliver complex global programs, this shared certification provides its partners with peace of mind and a competitive edge.

“As event professionals, every decision we make, from creative concepting to post-event waste management, has ripple effects that determine how we show up for our future planet,” says Robert Bartolucci, Opus Group’s ESG director. “Verve has led this space for over a decade, and now having all three agencies ISO 20121 certified means we can deliver on this responsibility consistently across our entire network.”

ISO 20121 is the international standard for sustainable event management, designed to help organisations manage the social, economic, and environmental impacts of events. It provides a comprehensive framework for integrating sustainability into all aspects of event planning and execution, from initial concept through post-event activities.

This achievement represents a significant milestone for The Opus Group. All three agencies are now certified to deliver sustainable event management that meets international standards. This unified commitment provides consistent, high-quality, sustainable practices across our entire network.
