ISO 50001 – Energy Management System (EnMS)

"Energy saved is energy produced" – a principle that applies to every organization worldwide.
As environmental awareness grows, energy efficiency has become a priority, attracting the attention of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

In 2011, ISO introduced ISO 50001, a dedicated Energy Management System standard, built on the proven frameworks of ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management).
While ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 enhance quality and environmental performance, ISO 50001 focuses specifically on energy efficiency—helping organizations measure, manage, and improve energy performance.

Organizations already certified to ISO 9001 or ISO 14001 are well-positioned to adopt ISO 50001, building on their existing systems to achieve greater efficiency, cost savings, and sustainability.

Key Benefits of ISO 50001

• Integrates energy management into business operations
• Optimizes energy-consuming assets and processes
• Reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
• Lowers energy costs
• Supports “green manufacturing” and reduces carbon footprint
• Ensures readiness for GHG regulations and emission targets
• Increases organization-wide awareness of energy efficiency
