ISO 50001 integrates energy efficiency into management practices and enables organizations to establish the systems and processes necessary to continually improve energy performance, promote an energy performance improvement culture and make better use of existing energy-consuming assets and processes. ISO 50001 also helps organizations evaluate and prioritize the implementation of new energy-efficient technologies.
ISO 50001 defines a framework of requirements so that organizations can:
- Implement a more efficient use of energy policy
- Define targets and objectives to develop this policy
- Develop methodical energy management in order to prioritize energy performance
- Centralize and secure data to better understand the challenges of energy consumption and make better decisions to address them
- Measure the results
- Review policy efficiency, and
- Continuously improve energy management
ISO 50001 main objectives are to address the scarcity of energy and the sustainable increase in its price, while contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
