ISO 50001 helps companies to increase their energy efficiency and promote sustainable business practices. It helps to reduce energy costs and to monitor, document and optimize energy consumption. An energy management system (EnMS) in accordance with ISO 50001 helps to reduce environmental impact, meet legal requirements and strengthen the company's sustainable image at the same time.
ISO 50001 is a globally recognised standard that helps companies and organisations of all sizes to improve the efficiency of their energy processes. It provides guidelines for systematically introducing, optimising and continuously improving measures to increase energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption and cut costs.
The standard helps organisations to evaluate the strategic use of energy-efficient technologies and implement them effectively. It also enables transparent documentation and communication on the use of energy resources.
ISO 50001 promotes effective energy management and helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Through regular reviews and energy reports, companies can achieve their energy targets and clearly communicate their energy goals to the outside world. ISO 50001 certification is a valuable tool for reducing costs and identifying potential savings. This gives you long-term competitive advantages.
Successful implementation of energy management:
A collaborative assessment of existing energy practices and processes.
Identification of energy aspects and impacts, and verification of compliance with legal requirements.
We determine overlaps and synergy potential with other ESG reporting systems.
Develop an individual strategy for setting specific energy targets and measures in line with the company context.
Clearly define responsibilities and time targets.
Support with selecting suitable energy management tools.
Support the development of training that raises awareness of energy issues and emphasises the importance of the energy management system.
Support for monitoring energy performance and conducting internal audits.
We provide templates for regular assessments and adjustments to the strategy, to ensure the continuous improvement of the energy management system.
Support external certification.
Together with EMAS, ISO 50001 can improve environmental performance and help meet legal requirements. Below is an excerpt from the relevant legislation which states that the introduction of an energy management system or EMAS may be mandatory:
Additionally, this system supports the data management necessary to fulfil the requirements of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG), the Closed Substance Cycle Waste Management Act (KrWG), and the Ordinance on the Security of Energy Supply (EnSimiMaV).
