ISO 50001
What is ISO 50001?
This Standard is concerned with resource conservation to help tackle climate change.ISO 50001 supports organizations in all sectors to use energy more efficiently, through the development of an energy management system (EnMS). This certification is not obligatory.
Why should I carry this Standard ?
- Aids policy development for efficient use of energy.
- Fixes targets and objectives to meet the requirements outlined.
- Uses data to make decisions and measure the results.
- Reviews the policy and work towards continuous improvement.
Who Needs this Standard?
- To ensure optimal use of energy-consuming assets.
- Create transparency of resource consumption throughout the supply chain.
- Reduce energy costs, greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental implications.
- Greater awareness and commitment to energy consumption and allocation of renewable sources within the organization.
- Reduce energy costs and better ROIs.
Why should you consider ISO 50001?
An ISO 50001 will help to identify energy risks and areas of significant energy use and opportunities for improvement.
How long does it take to get this implemented?
In 6 - 12 Months depending on their size and complexity.
Advantage ISO 50001
- Enhanced energy efficiencies.
- ISO 50001 supports the development of an energy policy and contributes to the structure of an energy plan to achieve targets.
- Reduced vulnerability to energy price fluctuation and availability of energy.
- Adherence to environmental and sustainability objectives.
- Energy efficiency programs, carbon or energy taxes, and international climate agreements.
- For multinational companies this can greatly simplify compliance with environmental mandates across national borders since ISO 50001 is internationally recognized.
