ISO 50001 ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ISO 50001 is the international standard for Energy Management Systems (EnMS). It provides a robust framework within which organisations can measure, analyse and improve their energy consumption. ISO 50001 brings huge benefits to organisations of significant size concerned with: Continually reducing energy consumption to minimum costs Reducing carbon emissions for compliance and corporate social responsibility. As each and every organisation is different, with its own processes, plants, systems, culture and resources, ISO 50001 is flexible enough to be used by most companies, and can be made as simple or as complicated as you want. Moreover being certified with ISO 50001 also acts as a compliance route to ESOS, by establishing a more long term strategic route to energy management. Implementing ISO 50001 can be an efficient process, with a potential for a high return on investment With Elmhurst Energy Services we can provide knowledgeable support through understanding the wider implications of ISO 50001 across your organisation. Our project management methodologies keep our projects on track, targeting maximum energy savings at the earliest opportunity. We can even take advantage of previous investments in energy management (such as ISO 14001) to support implementation of ISO 50001.
