ISO 50001 Certification
What about ISO 50001?
The ISO 50001 energy management standard is a proven framework for industrial facilities, commercial facilities, or entire organizations to manage energy – including all aspects of energy procurement and use. An energy management system establishes the structure and discipline to implement technical and management strategies that significantly but energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions – and sustain those savings over time. Savings can come from no to low-cost operational improvements. Manufacturers, corporations, utility, energy service companies, and other organizations are using ISO 50001 to reduce costs and carbon emission. As of 2016, more than 23,000 sites worldwide achieved ISO 50001 certification. The growth of ISO 50001 is expected to accelerate as an increasing number of companies integrate ISO 50001 into their corporate sustainability strategies and supplier requirements. Tools and resources are available to assist organization as they embark on this rewarding pathway to energy savings, carbon reduction, improved competitiveness, and other benefits.
Energy Management System certification, provides a framework for establishing energy management best practice to help organizations to improve their energy efficiency plus make a return on investment by implementing ISO 50001. The standard enables organizations to establish the systems and processes necessary to improve energy performance, including energy efficiency, use, and consumption.
The energy management system standard is applicable to organizations both large and small, irrespective if geographical, cultural, or social conditions. ISO 50001 has been structured to be aligned with other popular industry management system standards, so it is possible to integrate an energy management system (EnMS) with your existing management system(s). UQSR has operational experience in energy management system certification.
Whether you are a big or small organization, if you use energy, you can implement and experience the benefits if having an effective energy management system in place.
