ISO 50001 supports organisations in all sectors to use energy more efficiently, through the development of an energy management system.
It is also one of the main routes to achieving compliance with ESOS (the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme). If your organisation is fully covered by ISO 50001, you don’t need to carry out an ESOS assessment.
The certification provides a framework of requirements for organisations to:
- Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy
- Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy
- Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use
- Measure the results
- Review how well the policy works, and
- Continually improve energy management.
