ISO 50001

Reduce energy costs and achieve a competitive advantage

Organisations the world over are facing rising energy prices. This comes at a time of increasing competitive pressure that is forcing companies to find new ways to reduce their total overheads. Additionally, the greenhouse gas emissions produced by organisations are a growing concern. In light of these developments, organisations must find ways to manage energy use while at the same time communicating energy management efforts to an increasingly environmentally conscious public.

What is ISO 50001?

ISO 50001 is a voluntary international standard that gives organisations of any size a way to systematically optimise energy performance in all processes and promote more efficient energy management. The framework is compatible with the ISO 14001 environmental management standard, which means that organisations certified to ISO 14001 will find it easy to meet the requirements of ISO 50001.

Why is ISO 50001 important?

ISO 50001 is one of the few management systems that offer measurable cost benefits to organisations. It allows your business to achieve greater transparency and promotes best practises in energy management by demonstrating how energy is consumed throughout your value chain. The ISO 50001 energy management system (EnMS) framework is widely known to improve bottom lines through systematic improvements in energy efficiency and consumption while  enhancing a company’s reputation and environmental performance.
