ISO 50005 - Guidelines for a phased implementation

Recorded: 17^th October

Timing: 12:00 PM – 13:00 PM

What’s this ISO 50005 energy management webinar about?

Given the soaring cost of energy, it’s more important than ever that SMEs manage their energy performance as well as possible. At the same time, we want the UK to meet its net zero target.

The free guide can be downloaded here.

Towards these ends, BSI is partnering with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and the Race to Zero campaign to give away 100,000 free copies of BS ISO 50005:2021 – an international standard on putting a simple energy management system in place.

You can download a free copy of the standards here.

We also ran an instructional webinar on 21st June on how to get the most value from using the standard. You can now register to watch this webinar again on 17th October. Please note there will be no Q&A as this will be a re-airing session.

Who should watch the ISO 50005 energy management webinar?

Any size organization, including non-intensive users of energy and SMEs.
