The main perception of identifying interested parties is to identify who
are the ones, which contribute or have relevance towards energy performance of
the organization and their EnMS and the needs & expectation are identified
in order to know, what if these needs and expectations were not meet.
For an instance, if your stakeholders expect optimum utilization of
energy and if you as an organization is not working on it, then they will be
not satisfied with you, which can further impact on poor relations between
stakeholder and the organization. So, this would be the one of the expectation
of the interested parties, which you need to fulfill.
Following are
some interested parties relevant to your EnMS, while this is not a complete
list and it varies industry to industry.
Government: No matter where you have your
business, there will be government regulations that need to be met at some
level. There are different bodies made by government, which look into your
organizations energy performance by conducting an extensive energy audit. Not
meeting requirements of the interested can lead to penalties and fines.
Shareholders: Shareholders are once, who want your
company to earn more, but not to waste it. Which is one of the reason why they
are agreed to implement EnMS. They will be interested in EnMS for monitoring
savings that can be achieved by improvements made through EnMS.
Employees: Employees prefer a surrounding which
is safe, productive at the same time and they want to work at, where they can
be proud of their contribution to conservation of natural resources. Being an
interested party, employees are also involved in how well EnMS performs.
Thus, EnMS provides you a framework to identify relevant requirements whether legal or other requirements and boost you toward meeting those requirements and be up to date with changes in the requirement. In order to get more familiar to the requirements related to ISO 50001:2018.
