The team at Crowberry Consulting are delighted to have achieved our 20 years in business and sustainability milestone in 2026. The company was established in 2006 by Becky Toal CEnv Fellow ISEP MBA MSc to support customers with environmental and sustainability management. Since 2006 the sustainability sector has professionalised and there are more laws and regulations then ever before to comply with for environmental and sustainability matters. International Standards and ESG frameworks have also evolved during the last 20 years. Becky Toal MD said “We would like to thank our staff, clients and strategic partners for their support over the last 20 years, its been wonderful to be part of the environmental and sustainability profession and encourage many young graduates to enter the sector too. We have won many awards over the last 20 years and we have had many stand out moments for our clients, helping them to comply, achieve certification and protect their brands from reputational risks through positive environmental, event, energy and ethics management. As I set this company up with the vision to provide intelligence, integrity and inspiration to our customers these values still hold true today as they did in 2006. Throughout the year we will be celebrating this milestone, so please follow us on social media channels including You Tube and Instagram! Thank you again to our staff and clients for an amazing 20 years, and here’s to the next 20!”

World Of Opportunity Winners!

We are delighted to be the North West Regional Winner for the World Of Opportunity Awards 2024. We met with the Heathrow Airport team in May 2025 who presented us with this amazing award. It recognises our International Trade efforts and our expansion into Europe with our office in Dublin, Ireland and beyond. We are delighted to have been acknowledged by both the FSB and Heathrow with this International Trade Award.

Crowberry Consulting has recently received an award from Chorley Council in recognition of the efforts it makes to reduce the carbon footprint from its business operations. The first ever round of businesses in Chorley to receive the Net Carbon Zero Business Accreditation. In collecting this award, Becky Toal CEO said “We calculate our green house gas emissions annually and signed up to the SME Climate Hub to report on our emission scopes.

Crowberry Consulting have won the BSI Standards User Award: Category Environmental for delivering over a decade of ISO 20121 Event Sustainability Systems. At the BSI AGM held in London in May the team were presented with their award. The Awards recognise both makers and users of standards that can demonstrate a real impact over time. As our consultancy has provided over a decade of implementation to ISO 20121: Event Sustainability we are delighted to receive this prestigious award.

We are delighted to announce that our client the International Monetary Fund has received their certificate for ISO 20121 Sustainable Events in Washington D.C. USA with support from Crowberry Consulting Ltd.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is proud to announce that it has achieved the international standard for event sustainability – ISO 20121 – for the Spring Meetings and Annual Meetings held at its headquarters in Washington, DC. This certification by the British Standards Institution (BSI) recognizes the IMF’s commitment to managing the environmental, social, and economic impact of its operations during the Meetings.

As climate change remains a major threat to long-term growth and prosperity, the IMF has a role to play in helping its members by providing policy advice related to mitigation, adaptation, and transition to a low carbon economy. The IMF also has a role to play in taking steps to advance its own operational sustainability efforts.

“Sustainability is a priority for the Fund, and I am immensely proud that we have achieved the ISO 20121 standard for our Spring and Annual Meetings, an important step in the right direction. The standard recognizes our many efforts; from offsetting the carbon emissions associated with participants’ travel to Washington, to eliminating single-use plastics from our cafeterias and catering, to establishing an Environmental Sustainability Council—each action highlights that the Fund is making strides to be more sustainable in our own operations.” said IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva upon receiving the certificate from BSI.

To achieve this certification, the IMF has been working with the team from Crowberry Consulting® since 2023 to conduct gap analysis, internal auditor training, and sustainable event system implementation. The collaboration ensures that all functional areas are in scope and meaningful sustainable event objectives and targets are embedded. These include the continuous offsetting of carbon generated by participants’ travels for the Spring and Annal Meetings, as well as considerations for materials, food waste, accessibility, and recycling.

“It has been a pleasure to support the IMF to work towards and achieve the ISO 20121. We have supported the internal departments to implement a full internal audit program, trained up the sustainability champions and guided them through the required documentation of the standard to ensure successful certification in 2024. We are delighted that the team has achieved the prestigious ISO 20121 standard, and this will inspire other large bi-lateral & political events to do the same.” said Becky Toal, CEO of Crowberry Consulting – Enabling Sustainable Futures.

“As a globally important organization, the IMF has a powerful opportunity to set an example for how events can be planned and delivered sustainably, benefiting people and planet. It’s fantastic to see them using their Spring and Annual Meetings to create a lasting legacy,” said Tim Wren, BSI’s Chief Commercial Officer. “BSI’s rigorous audit demonstrated that the IMF has taken vital action to meet the requirements of the Sustainable Events Management System Standard and consider key environmental, social, and economic impacts. The IMF deserves credit for taking an important step forward that can ultimately help society accelerate progress towards a fair society and a sustainable world.”

The ISO 20121 provided the Fund with a framework and guidance that was flexible and rigorous in measurement and monitoring, enabling the institution to track positive and negative impacts over time and take necessary steps to address them.

We are delighted to announce that Becky Toal CEO of Crowberry Consulting has been accepted as a Fellow to the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment. This is the highest status for the Institute and follows a rigorous process of interview, application and references. Fellows to the IEMA are transforming the world to sustainability  and Becky now joins a prestigious networking group for the Institute. Becky said “I am delighted to become a Fellow of the IEMA after working my way up from Student member to Full Member and now reaching the Institutes pinnacle and aim to inspire the next generation on sustainability and environmental management issues.”
