ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems (EnMS) is a globally recognized standard that provides a framework for organizations to establish, implement, maintain, and improve an energy management system. It is designed to help organizations save energy, reduce costs, and improve their overall energy performance by developing an energy policy, setting achievable targets for energy use, and designing action plans to reach them.
Industries adopt ISO 50001 to demonstrate their commitment to energy efficiency, comply with legal requirements, gain a competitive advantage, and address global concerns over energy security and climate change by minimizing their energy footprint and greenhouse gas emissions.
