ISO 50001 Energy Management System Certification

ISO 50001 defines the requirements for organisations to plan, implement and improve an energy management system. With an energy management system based on ISO 50001, organisations will gain from improved energy efficiency, reduced consumption and reduced manufacturing cost and in  turn  leading to reduction CO2 emissions. 

Further Certification to ISO 50001 standard aids organisation to demonstrate their ability to compliance obligations in terms of energy consumption, energy efficiency etc. This standard applies to all types of Organisation including service industries. 

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Energy has become a key metric for companies. Saving energy means saving operational costs. Energy consumption also implies reducing greenhouse gas emissions and demonstrating greater care for natural resources. These are tangible actions for companies looking to enforce and contribute to sustainable development.
Energy intense industries and other sectors can achieve significant improvement in their energy use, optimizing their consumption and using more renewable energy.

SOLUTION

What are "Energy Management Systems" (EnMS) and their payback?

Management Systems provide continuous improvement in the fields of Quality, Environment and Safety. This concept has now been applied to improve energy use. ISO 50001 is the new global standard for Energy Management with requirements for:

• Establishing an energy policy with concrete objectives to improve energy efficiency;
• Setting a baseline of energy uses, identifying critical areas and understanding influential elements on energy use;
• Maintaining a periodic forecast of energy use, allowing visibility to plan investments and improvements;
• Considering energy consumption in the decision process for design and procurement of all equipment, raw materials or services.

ISO 50001 can be easily integrated into existing Quality, Safety and/or Environment Management Systems, for all types of organizations aiming to monitor and improve their energy efficiency. Several management systems can be audited during the same audit, optimizing costs.
