Celebrating Sustainability Accreditation

Levy Ireland, the leading sports and entertainment catering provider, is proud to announce that it has achieved the ISO 20121 accreditation for sustainable event management. Achieving this prestigious certification marks a first for Levy Ireland within Compass Group UK & Ireland.

The ISO 20121 standard provides a framework for venues and event organisers to manage their events in a more sustainable manner, considering environmental, social, and economic impacts. Levy Ireland was thoroughly assessed across a number of its partner venues and more than met the requirements of the standard through its consistent delivery of sustainable food, beverage, and event solutions.
