ISO 50001

Powering a Sustainable Future Through Energy Management

What is ISO 50001?

ISO 50001 is a globally recognized standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides a framework for managing energy performance, including energy efficiency, use, and consumption. It’s applicable to any organization, regardless of size or industry.

The latest version, ISO 50001:2018, follows the High-Level Structure (HLS) common to other ISO management standards like ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. This makes integration with existing management systems much easier.

Why ISO 50001 Matters

Energy is one of the largest controllable operating costs in any organization. ISO 50001 offers a systematic approach to continual improvement in energy performance, resulting in:

Reduced energy costs
Improved environmental performance
Regulatory compliance
Enhanced brand reputation
Resilience against energy-related risks

It is particularly valuable for energy-intensive sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, transportation, and infrastructure—all areas where our consultancy has strong experience.

Core Elements of ISO 50001

ISO 50001 operates on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, ensuring ongoing improvement:

Plan: Establish the energy policy, conduct energy reviews, define objectives and targets, and plan actions.
Do: Implement the energy management action plans.
Check: Monitor and measure energy performance, analyze results, and conduct internal audits.
Act: Take actions to continually improve energy performance and the EnMS.
