The Energy Pressures
An ISO 50001 Energy Management System can help pressures such as:
Public Opinion
Rising Energy Costs
Carbon Reduction Commitment
Energy/Environmental Taxes
Legislation and Regulation
Energy Performance Certificates
The Energy Management System
ISO 50001 requires the organisation to take an ‘Energy Baseline’ of it’s activities and then sets objectives for efficiencies, measured by ‘Energy Performance Indicators’.
The standard uses the familiar PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT model, which can be found in other standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 27001. Elements of these standards can easily be aligned.
ISO 50001 and ISO 14001 – A Perfect Match
ISO 50001 and ISO 14001 are a good match because they both focus on sustainable environmental practices within organisations, complementing each other to enhance overall environmental performance. ISO 50001, which is centred on energy management systems, helps organisations systematically improve their energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
On the other hand, ISO 14001 focuses on environmental management systems, guiding organisations to identify, manage, monitor, and control environmental issues comprehensively. When implemented together, these standards enable organisations to create a cohesive strategy for minimising environmental impact by integrating energy management with broader environmental objectives, thus driving continuous improvement and fostering a culture of sustainability.
