The ISO 50001 certification is applicable to the organization for overall energy management, in order to achieve real sustainable development.

This standard specifies the requirements for an energy management system and enables an organization – that consumes significant quantities of energy – to have a systematic approach to continuous improvement of its energy performance, greater energy efficiency and sustainability, regardless of its type.

The standard offers guidance on benchmarking, measuring, documenting and reporting energy improvements and projected greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. ISO 50001 Certification can also assist facilities in evaluating and prioritizing the implementation of new energy-efficient technologies.
