Getting started with ISO 50001 Energy Management

Get more from less with ISO 50001. The energy management standard will give you the tools to improve energy efficiency and lower your energy bills. In fact, ISO 50001 could prove fundamental to the future of your business, but you can get started right now.  

ISO 50001 outlines the best way to achieve energy efficiency, whatever the nature of your business. The standard will help you meet your environmental and carbon reduction targets as part of improved energy performance. It shows you how to take a structured approach towards measuring and monitoring how much energy you use – helping you to get more from less. ISO 50001 will pave the way to improved performance, lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions – all at the same time.  

• Identify and Manage the risks surrounding your future energy supply
• Measure and monitor energy use to identify where to improve efficiency
• Improve overall performance to cut energy consumption and bills
• Reduce carbon emissions and meet government reduction targets
• Demonstrate environmental credentials to increase tender opportunities

The PAS 2060 standard specifies a four-stage process to demonstrate carbon neutrality. This involves:

• Assessment of GHG emissions based on accurate measurement data
• Reduction of emissions through a target-driven carbon management plan
• Offsetting of excess emissions, often by purchasing carbon credits
• Documentation and verification through qualifying explanatory statements and public disclosure.

Through independent BSI verification to PAS 2060, your business can demonstrate that it has met these requirements. You can show you are serious about sustainability, responding to the challenge of climate change and contributing to the UNSDGs, while enhancing your organization’s performance and resilience.
