Documentation of above items is needed to ensure future streamlined implementation. Besides, the event organiser shall also monitor the implementation plan during the event and review regularly and when the event is done. These processes can be illustrated by the cycle of “PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT” in ISO standard, which offers a strategic way to manage sustainability and embed continual improvement.
