Understanding ISO 50001

Curbing energy use is pivotal to combating the rising costs and shortage of energy. By doing this, organizations can comply with the GHG (Green House Gas) legislation and send a positive message of social responsibility. The organization can show that is concerned about the fast depleting sources of energy and that the organization understands that energy conservation is necessary for a better and safer environment and future on Earth. ISO 50001 (a standard designed for energy management system) embodies latest international practices in the arena of energy management, resting on the existing regional and national standards & initiatives.

ISO 50001 is designed with the goal to enable companies to:

  • Make better use of their energy consuming assets,
  • Evaluate & prioritize energy-efficient technology implementation, and,
  • Encourage energy efficiency throughout the supply-chain.
