Why energy management with ISO 50001 or ISO 14001 CO2 reduction
Saving energy and thereby reducing CO2 emissions is becoming increasingly important. For many organizations, energy savings and CO2 reduction are laid down in legal requirements.
ISO 50001 or ISO 14001/CO2-reduction?
ISO 50001 is a tool to support companies in their energy management, saving energy and costs, and complying with legal requirements. The standard provides guidelines for organizations that want to improve their energy performance in a systematic way. For companies that do not belong to the “large consumers,” SCCM offers an alternative to ISO 50001 with the certification scheme CO2 reduction management with ISO 14001. This makes it possible to demonstrably show performance regarding CO2 reduction. Both schemes comply with the requirements in the European Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) regarding energy management and the energy audit.
Benefits of ISO 50001 and CO2-reduction management with ISO 14001
Both approaches have the following benefits:
- Clear insight into energy consumption and opportunities for energy and/or CO2 reduction
- Systematically working toward better energy performance
- Ensuring compliance with energy laws and regulations
- Meeting EED requirements regarding the energy audit
- Information available on energy and/or CO2 for reporting to government and customers
With a certificate, an organization demonstrates that it complies with all requirements of the standard and legal requirements. The certificate is therefore a valuable communication tool for customers, regulators, and local residents.
