ISO 50001

ISO 50001 is an international standard that stipulates the requirements of an energy management system, enabling organizations to establish systems and processes necessary to improve energy performance, including energy efficiency, use and consumption.

In addition, the ISO 50001 standard applies to organizations of all types and sizes regardless of regional, cultural, and social conditions, and enables systematic energy management to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, energy costs and other related environmental impacts.
