ISO 50001 - The Energy Management Certification - A Complete Guide

ISO 50001 is a globally recognised standard for organisations looking to improve energy management. Its framework for implementing an energy management system helps businesses continually improve energy efficiency and reduce their environmental impact.

The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) was introduced by the European Commission in 2012 to ensure that large organisations and public bodies become more energy efficient. Understand how legislation may impact your business.

ISO 50001 takes this approach further, as opposed to a once-off or annual audit, it establishes an internal energy team with members from all energy-related departments, encourages active support from leadership, and creates a structured approach to communication, monitoring, and control. So in effect, the topic of energy is built into everyday business.
