Superstruct Entertainment said it has become the first global live entertainment group to simultaneously hold all three major ISO certifications.

The festival giant has achieved the UKAS accredited certification of its quality management (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001) and occupational health and safety management (ISO 45001).

Superstruct said the certifications cover the company at a group level and recognise the management systems behind its diverse portfolio of more than 80 international live events that includes the UK’s Mighty Hoopla, Boardmasters and Lost Village, Germany’s Wacken Open Air, Øya in Norway (pictured) and Spain’s Arenal Sound and Sónar.

The world’s second largest festival promoter, headquartered in London, Superstruct said it had successfully gained all three certifications by bringing together existing practices from across different teams and markets, while developing new group-level standards, processes and assurance mechanisms within one shared management framework.

“Running live events at this scale means taking our responsibility to audiences, artists, teams, communities and the environments in which we operate seriously,” said Superstruct Entertainment CEO Rebecca Kane Burton. “Having a common benchmark across quality, environmental management and health and safety gives us a strong foundation for doing that consistently across the Group.

“What I’m particularly proud of is how quickly teams across Superstruct have embraced the process. Achieving all three certifications has required real engagement across the business, and reflects our culture of shared responsibility, learning from each other and continually improving how we operate.

“As we continue to grow, we want to keep raising the bar for ourselves, from safety and quality through to how we reduce our environmental impact, and use our collective experience to make live events better for everyone.”

Rebecca will be among the speakers at the Access All Areas Leaders’ Summit at Whittlebury Park Hotel Spa & Golf Resort in Northamptonshire from 8-9 October. You can register your interest in attending here.
