Frequently Asked Questions

in2steps is a digital platform designed to support sustainable and inclusive sports events. It integrates ISO 20121 (sustainability) and ISO 21902 (accessibility) into operational workflows, enabling organisers to plan, execute, monitor and report events in a structured and auditable way.

Unlike fragmented Excel-based tools, in2steps provides an integrated workflow where sustainability, accessibility, governance and operations are connected. The platform embeds ISO logic directly into tasks, KPIs, documentation and reporting.

Yes. The system includes an internal ISO requirements library that maps actions, tasks and evidence to ISO 20121 and ISO 21902 clauses. This enables checklist activation, traceability and generation of ISO-aligned reports.

The platform supports structured data collection for carbon footprint calculations, mobility analysis, supplier performance and KPI tracking. Data can be exported for further analysis and benchmarking across event editions.

Accessibility is embedded as a structural component, not an add-on. The platform activates accessibility-related tasks, incident reporting and communication tools aligned with ISO 21902, supporting inclusive design across the full event lifecycle.

The platform supports event organisers, sustainability managers, accessibility managers, suppliers, volunteers, participants and certification bodies — with role-based access and tailored workflows.

Yes. Depending on the selected package, users can manage one or multiple events within the same account. Each event operates as an independent workspace.

Yes. in2steps follows a full lifecycle loop: event → execution → monitoring → reporting → improvement. Lessons learned and KPIs can be preserved to benchmark future editions.

Yes. The platform can provide participant-facing access to accessibility information and sustainability commitments, and supports feedback and mobility data collection through surveys.

in2steps builds on the NeoBook© modular framework and is being extended with sustainability and accessibility-specific modules within the I3-INSHAPE programme. Pilot validation includes real-world events such as WODCELONA 2025.
