What are the benefits of ISO 50001?

• Increase your energy efficiency performance, productivity, and compliance
• Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy
• Help manage risks surrounding future energy supply
• Cut energy bills, and add the savings to your bottom line
• Build and support your reputation as a company with good environmental credentials
• Promote best practice in energy management through your supply chain, leading to improved stakeholder relationships with customers, suppliers and investors
• Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use
• Continually improve energy management

ISO 50001 offers organisations, through the development of an energy management system (EnMS), a system to tackle climate change and conserve resources, through using energy more efficiently.

It helps organisations manage energy supply and energy uses and consumption, including measurement, documentation, and reporting, design and procurement practices for energy using equipment, systems, processes, and personnel.

Steps to getting ISO 50001 certified

Working towards ISO 50001 certification with IMSM is a trouble-free, step-by-step approach.

1. Initial consultation
   We help you outline your goals, focusing on what your business wants to achieve and how it defines success, particularly in relation to your client’s requirements. You and your ISO consultants will agree on reasonable outcomes and delivery dates.
2. Producing your organisation’s ISO 50001 manual system documentation
   Next, the IMSM consultants will audit your existing procedures and help you document the new systems that will help deliver success – both existing and how you will improve these. The manual system documentation sets out how your business should operate going forward so that it can deliver ISO 50001.
   You will be able to view the manual system documentation, along with most other relevant documentation, on our client portal IMSMLoop. It offers a comprehensive insight into the progress of your ISO implementation, along with copies of the relevant audit reports, certifications, and any necessary corrective actions. The portal serves as a central hub for tracking your ISO journey.
3. Training you to adopt the ISO 50001 framework
   While the manual is a vital document moving forward, it is even more important that it gets put to practical use. We work with the senior management team to ensure the framework is embedded throughout your organisation. We can also develop and deliver tailored training for staff to ensure that the understanding and implementation of ISO 50001 is watertight. This will create consistency across your organisation, transforming your business from day one so it is optimised for efficiency, continual improvement, and greater profitability.
4. Submission to a third-party external auditor
   Before you can be awarded the ISO 50001 certification, your organisation applies to the third-party certifying body that you have selected to conduct your audit. This audit objectively determines whether your business conforms to ISO 50001, and the relevant accompanying documentation is accessible through our client portal, IMSMLoop.

As we have provided excellent support and guidance to your business every step of the way, you can rest assured that your ISO 50001 certification will be successful.
