ISO 50001 — Energy Management

A structured framework for managing energy use — helping organizations cut costs, reduce emissions, and improve energy performance year over year.

What It Is

A system for managing energy performance

ISO 50001 specifies requirements for an Energy Management System (EnMS), giving organizations a structured way to develop policies for more efficient energy use, set targets, and track performance over time.

It follows the same Plan-Do-Check-Act approach as other ISO management-system standards, so it integrates easily alongside ISO 9001 or ISO 14001.
