BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Energy has become a key metric for companies. Saving energy means saving operational costs. Energy
consumption also implies reducing greenhouse gas emissions and demonstrating greater care for
natural resources. These actions are at the forefront for companies looking to enforce and contribute
to sustainable development.

SOLUTION
What are Energy Management Systems (EnMS) and their payback?
Management Systems are well-known for their continuous improvement capabilities in the fields of
Quality, Environment and Safety. Their proven effective principles have been applied to manage
energy use. Energy Management Systems offer a systematic approach to monitor and reduce the
energy consumption of a full range of organizations.
ISO 50001 is the new global standard for Energy Management. It is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act
cycle, with requirements for:
establishing an energy policy with concrete objectives
setting a baseline of energy uses, identifying critical areas and understanding influential energy use
elements
having a periodical forecast of energy use, allowing visibility of planning changes and investments
considering energy consumption in the decision process for design and procurement of all
equipment, raw materials or services
ISO 50001 is based on regulatory compliance and has the same structure as ISO 14001. It can be
easily integrated into existing Quality, Safety and/or Environment Management Systems.
What are the key benefits of certifying your Energy Management System?
Use in-house experts to review the compliance of your management system and its efficiency
Ensure improvement of practices employed by your teams in managing energy use and organize
them for audits
Prove your commitment to sustainable development
and limit the global warming impact of your activities
Demonstrate to all stakeholders your credible
commitment to environmental preservation as well as
cost reductions and profitability

OUR APPROACH
1- GAP ANALYSIS
The objective of Gap Analysis audits is to evaluate the conformity of your processes with the Energy
Management System detailed in ISO 50001.
The Gap Analysis will therefore guide your organization in implementing this new Management System
and check the preparation of your organization for certification.
Gap Analysis process is as follows:
Definition of scope
Gap Analysis audit
Report of non-conformities and opportunities for
improvement
2- OUR CERTIFICATION PROCESS
Definition of certification scope
Pre-audit (optional): Gap Analysis and diagnosis of
your current position against the standard
Certification audit performed in 2 stages:
- Stage 1 preparation review to verify your
organization is ready for certification
- Stage 2 evaluation of implementation, including
the effectiveness of your organizations
management system
A certificate, valid for 3 years, is issued upon satisfactory
results of the stage 2 audit
Surveillance audits to verify that the management
system continues to fulfill the requirements of the
standard and to monitor continual improvement
Re-certification after 3 years to confirm the continued
conformance and effectiveness of the management
system as a whole
FAQ
Can ISO 50001 be certified along with other Management Systems?
ISO 50001 was built on the same structure as ISO 14001. Integrated and/or combined certification
with other Management Systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001) and sector specific standards
is possible thanks to our highly qualified auditors. Integrated certification delivers greater audit
efficiency, consistency and optimization.
What are the similarities with ISO 14001?
ISO 50001 can be certified with companies not having an ISO 14001 management system.
ISO 14001 addresses energy in terms of natural resources and environmental impact, including
requirements to limit environmental impact. ISO 50001 goes well beyond these and is more
comprehensive to enable cost savings (energy baseline, estimation of future uses, periodic forecasts,
etc.).
