ISO 50001:2018 Certification – Energy Management System

What is ISO 50001: 2018?

ISO 50001:2018 certification helps organizations optimise energy consumption and manage energy resources efficiently by establishing, implementing, maintaining, and improving their energy management systems through a structured framework. An Energy Management System (EnMS) is a set of interrelated or interacting elements designed to establish an energy policy, set energy objectives, and implement processes and procedures to achieve efficient energy management. Implementing an ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System enables organizations to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon dioxide emissions effectively. This leads to lower energy costs and increased profitability. Additionally, successful implementation raises employee awareness about energy conservation and promotes a culture of sustainability. An Energy Management System (EnMS) in compliance with ISO 50001:2018 focuses on energy uses, significant energy consumers, establishing energy baselines, and conducting energy reviews to effectively manage energy applications—ensuring efficiency without compromising production. The ISO 50001:2018 standard belongs to the same family as ISO 9001:2015 and follows the same High-Level Structure. As an internationally recognized management system standard, ISO 50001:2018 is focused on energy management systems, aiming to ensure their effective and efficient use in meeting future needs while adhering to the standard's guidelines.

Benefits of ISO 50001: 2018:

1. Clear Energy Flow Visibility: Provides the organization with a clear understanding of energy flow.
2. Active Energy Management: Enables active management of energy use and costs, achieving substantial improvements.
3. Forecasting Potential Savings: Facilitates continuous and measured forecasting of potential cost savings.
4. Energy Use Baseline: Helps develop a baseline for energy use.
5. Continuous Improvement: Promotes continual improvement of energy use relative to product output over time.
6. Reduced Emissions: Achieves reduced emissions without negatively impacting operations.
7. Tax Benefits: Enables realization of tax benefits, if applicable.
8. Leverage Existing Processes: Leverages existing continuous improvement processes for greater energy efficiency.
9. Ongoing Cost Reductions: Leads to continuous reductions in energy consumption costs.
10. Enhanced Reputation: Improves the company’s image and reputation through sustainable energy practices.
