What is an ISO 50001 certification?

ISO 50001 is the international standard for an energy management system (EnMS). Its goal is to enable organizations to establish the systems and processes necessary to improve energy efficiency, leading to reductions in energy consumption, operating costs and greenhouse gas emissions. ISO 50001 helps companies systematically strive to improve energy management based on best practices.
