ISO 50001 Energy Management System, provides a framework for establishing energy management best practice to help organisations to improve their energy efficiency plus make a return on investment by implementing ISO 50001. The standard enables organisations to establish the systems and processes necessary to improve energy performance, including energy efficiency, use, and consumption.
EnMS is proving to be an effective strategy for governments and industries to cost-effectively reduce energy use. ISO 50001 is not only a global best practice model for comprehensive and strategic energy management, but also serves as a global benchmark for climate and clean energy action. Energy management systems based on ISO 50001 best practices, or ISO 50001 certification are often key elements of energy efficiency policies around the world for large energy users, as well as small to medium enterprises.
Saved energy translates into reduced energy costs, increased productivity, enhanced energy security, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Case studies have demonstrated the clear business value of implementing energy management systems, showing energy performance improvements of 10 percent and more, with most of the improvement (in some cases, 70% or more) coming from low or no cost operational improvements.
By achieving certification for EnMS, best-practice Energy
Management standard, your organisation will accrue some of the numerous benefits
of ISO 50001, including:
Energy reduction of up 10% within first 12 months
Reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and carbon footprint.
Globally recognised International Standard
Assist in compliance with current and future voluntary
and/or mandatory energy efficiency targets.
Improved corporate image and credibility among customers,
clients and stakeholders
Informed decision-making processes from system design
through to operation and maintenance
Increased energy awareness among staff members at all
levels.
Improved operational efficiencies and maintenance practices
Manufacturers, corporations, utilities, energy service companies, and other organizations are using ISO 50001 to reduce costs and carbon emissions. As of 2017, almost 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.
If widely adopted, the voluntary ISO 50001 standard could influence up to 60% of the world's energy use across many economic sectors. Factors expected to drive broad adoption of ISO 50001 include the growth of corporate sustainability programs and the spread of energy management standards along the manufacturing supply chain. Companies may also find the resulting energy and carbon reductions increasingly valuable as a means to comply with possible carbon reduction initiatives or to enhance their corporate environmental practices.
