New Category: Legacy• The legacy dimension of sustainability concerns the

organization’s impacts on the legacy the event leaves to its stakeholders and on systems at local, national, and global levels. The Legacy Indicators illustrate:• Main legacy impacts of the organization throughout

society.• Events of all sizes can leave legacies
