ISO 50001 is a company-level certification based on a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The specification requires the use of an Energy Management System with the main purpose of using Energy more efficiently. The standard is based on a management system model of continual improvement, similar to some other common ISO standards. The certification calls for a company to develop an energy policy, establish goals to meet the policy, utilize data to meet goals, measure policy effectiveness, and continually make improvements to the policy. Used by large and small organizations across the world to manage and reduce energy use and costs, ISO 50001 is an excellent framework to help implement an energy management system (EnMS). From large retailers to smaller manufacturers and small businesses, the standard offers organizations the opportunity to become more resilient against energy costs and availability. Whether you’re interested in certifying to ISO 50001 to reduce costs, comply with legislation or increase your sustainability, implementing the standard provides a systematic approach to achieving all three.
