What is … ISO 50001?

ISO 50001 is a standard of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for systematic energy management for companies.
What criteria does this standard include? What are its advantages? What do I have to consider as a company? EnExpert explains!
Aim of the standard

ISO 50001 aims to help companies and organizations improve their energy flows and energy-intensive services through various systems and processes. This includes the development of unused energy potentials, the reduction of energy costs and the reduction of environmental impact. Furthermore, the standard aims to raise awareness among employees and the management level of a company on the topics of energy, energy management and energy waste. The aim is to enable savings potential to be exploited and to create competitive advantages and a positive image. 

How it works 

Companies must develop a strategic energy policy with operational energy targets and action plans to achieve the standard. An inventory, introduction and implementation, as well as regular reviews, allow companies to achieve their own goals and targets. Compliance with specific targets can then be demonstrated with certification.
