Certification to the ISO 50001 standard ensures that your organization has a healthy energy management system, reducing energy consumption, environmental impact and increasing profitability.
ISO 50001 is a voluntary international standard developed by ISO, the International Organization for Standardization. ISO 50001 applies to organisations at any size, and provides requirements for establishing, managing and improving their energy consumption and efficiency.
ISO 50001 is compatible with other recognized management systems, such as ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
The ISO 50001 standard aims to:
Assist organisations in improving energy efficiency, energy use and consumption
Create transparency and facilitate communication on the management of energy resources
Promote energy management best practices and behaviors
Assist facilities in evaluating and prioritizing the implementation of new energy-efficient technologies
Provide a framework for promoting energy efficiency throughout the supply chain
Facilitate energy management improvements for greenhouse gas emission reduction projects
Allow integration with other organisational management systems such as environmental, and health and safety
