ISO 50001 is a company level certification based on a standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The specification requires use of an energy management system with a main purpose of using energy more efficiently. The standard is based on a management system model of continual improvement, similar to some other common ISO standards. The certification calls for a company to develop an energy policy, establish goals to meet the policy, utilize data to meet goals, measure policy effectiveness, and continually make improvements to the policy.

ISO 50001 is not industry specific and is intended for any organization that wants to implement and maintain an energy management system.

ISO 50001 is designed to help your organization improve its energy performance through making better use of its energy-intensive assets.

Improved energy performance can provide rapid benefits for an organization by maximizing its use of energy sources and energy-related assets, reducing both cost and consumption.

ISO 50001 is used by large and small organizations all over the world. Its benefits can take many forms. For some, it is about reducing the environmental impact and enhancing reputation; for others, the aim is to drive down costs and improve competitiveness.
