ISO 50001:2018 is one of the revised energy management systems that is applicable to a wide range of businesses, both in terms of size and type of business. In most cases, energy is one of the most important expenses, if not the main one. The implementation and certification of ISO 50001 is an extremely useful tool for controlling energy management and reducing energy costs.
ISO 50001:2018 follows the Annex SL structure that has been implemented in other recently updated ISO management system standards such as ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 & 45001:2018
The certification of the ISO 50001 energy management system is one of the best and most efficient ways to substantially reduce energy costs, either by increasing the energy efficiency of production or by actually reducing energy expenditure.
ISO 50001 is the international standard for energy management. It provides an effective framework for better energy use and shaping your organization's commitment to continuous improvement of its energy management. ISO 50001 will help you implement the processes you need to enable you to understand the basis of your energy use and create an energy policy, including setting targets and an implementation plan for more efficient energy management.
The benefits of ISO 50001
Improved energy efficiency can bring immediate benefits and having your energy management system certified demonstrates your commitment to energy reduction, good practice and sustainability.
Specifically, ISO 50001 certification will:
• reduce energy costs through the monitoring and management of energy consumption leading to an increase in the energy efficiency of your production.
