About
The Sustainable Sport and Event Toolkit (SSET) aims to give sport organisations the knowledge and tools to incorporate sustainability into their business practices and to execute sustainable sport events.
SSET is an initiative developed by the International Academy of Sports Science and Technology (AISTS) and the Vancouver Organising Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC).
SSET integrates the management & sustainability practices recommended by the following organisations into a realistic application for sport events:

- IOC Guide on Sport, Environment, and Sustainable Development
- ISO 14001-14006 on Environmental Management Systems (ISO-Organisation for Standardisation)
- ISO 26000 on Social Responsibilty

- CSA Z2010 Requirements and Guidance for Organizers of Sustainable Events (Canadian Standards Association)
- GRI G3 Sustainable Reporting Guidelines (GRI-Global Reporting Initiative)
- SMRS (Vancouver 2010 Sustainability Management and Reporting System)
