ISO 50001
ISO 50001 is a voluntary International Standard developed by ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) and provides organisations with the requirements for energy management systems (EnMS). ISO estimates that the standard could influence up to 60% of the world’s energy use.

What is ISO 50001?
ISO 50001 is the new international energy management system (EnMS) standard. It is the first global EnMS following from a range of national and regional standards such as EN 16001.
Why is the new ISO 50001 EnMS important to your organisation?
ISO 50001 establishes a framework for industrial plants, commercial, institutional, and governmental facilities as well as entire organisations to promote energy management best practices and reinforce good energy management behaviours. The standard offers guidance on benchmarking, measuring, documenting and reporting energy improvements and projected greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. ISO 50001 can also assist facilities in evaluating and prioritising the implementation of new energy-efficient technologies.
ISO 50001 is designed to deliver the following benefits:
• increased energy efficiency
• reduced cost
• improved environmental performance
• reduced risk
• increased energy security
