ISO 50001 Energy Management System
ISO 50001 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that provides organizations with a systematic framework to manage and improve their energy performance. It helps organizations establish the systems and processes necessary to increase energy efficiency, reduce energy costs, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
First published in 2011 and updated in 2018, ISO 50001 applies to organizations of all sizes and sectors and supports continuous improvement in energy management through a structured plan-do-check-act (PDCA) approach.
