Introduction to ISO 50001

-

ISO 50001 is is an energy management system guidance. It provides specifications that have been developed by the international organisation for standardization in order to implement an Energy Management System. This ISO 50001 standard provides requirements for developing implementing and thereafter managing and improving Energy Management System. The purpose of this energy management system is to help an organisation to establish a systematic process in order to achieve continuous improvement in energy performance indicator.  Through this energy management system corporate ship to achieve energy efficiency, energy security as well as improves sustainability performance. This energy management system helps companies in reducing their energy use and also the associated cost as well as the greenhouse gas emissions that happen from energy consumption. ISO 50001 one was developed in the year 2011 and can be implemented for any type of organization regardless of its size sector or location. The updated version of ISO 50001 was released in the year 2018. This energy management system is modelled on ISO 9001 which is a quality management system and also is compatible with the ISO 14001 environmental management system.


 Through this energy management system, ISO 50001 companies seek to achieve improved energy performance and reduced their energy intensity and also identify energy reduction opportunities which also lead to cost reductions. This ISO 50001 guidance provides a systematic approach for organizations which we can follow and achieve energy targets. A consistent Energy Management shall help corporates in realizing the untapped energy efficiency potential as well as Greenhouse gas mitigation potential. The companies are expected to benefit from savings on energy cost as well as contribute significantly to climate change mitigation by reducing the emissions of carbon dioxide. This standard shall also help in employee awareness and in particular the training of the management level employees on Energy Management processes. The ISO 50001 has been designed in line with other ISO management systems so that it can be seamlessly integrated with other ISO systems. This ISO 50001 also follows the PDCA cycle which is plan-do-check-act. The ISO guideline has the following major components:
1. Scope
2. References
3. Definitions
4. Context
5 Leadership requirements
6 Planning
7. Supporting
8. Operations
9. Performance evaluation
10. Improvement

GE3S has experience in implementing ISO 50001 systems across sectors and geographies. If you are looking forward to achieving energy efficiency and reducing their energy intensity as well as helping the environment by reducing carbon dioxide emissions then get in touch with us so that I can help you implement the energy management system and you can reduce your energy cost as well as intensity.

Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), indirectly using concentrated solar power, or a combination. Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. This produces a lot of renewable energy and thus brings into picture Solar Consultancy. Solar Consultancy provides a portfolio of various services such as Owner’s Engineering, Design & Engineering, Lender’s Engineering and Project Improvement. Owner’s Engineering: As technical advisors, consultants need to keep a vigilant eye on your solar plant development. They evaluate each aspect against stringent quality parameters and provide expert interventions to streamline execution and maximize generation. They help clients in site selection, pre-bid engineering with BoQ, equipment selection, financial analysis and real-time bidding support. Design Engineering: Stemming from e

A year after launch of GRI standards - Where do we stand?

-
Image
GRI replaced the old G4 Guidelines with the latest GRI standards on October 19th, 2016, developed through multi-stakeholder processes.  There were 28 launch events spanning across 25 counties.  The events were all held between October 2016 and September 2017, bringing together  Sustainability reporting consultant ,  Environmental Consultant , and other professionals within this field.  A majority of the professionals who attended the events said the standards will help support and improve the quality of reporting.  More than 150 organizations have joined the Standards Pioneer program, showing their support to the GRI Standards and future of sustainability disclosure. For some, transitioning to the Standards supports their broader reporting efforts.  The Standards consist of a modular, interrelated structure, and represents the global best practice for reporting on a range of economic, environmental, and social impacts.  GE3S as a  sustainability reporting consultant   by follows

Sustainability Reporting is a report published demonstrating a company’s impact on the 3 pillars of Sustainability; Economic, Environmental , and Social. It shows an organizations values and demonstrates the link between its strategy and its commitment to a sustainable global economy.   Sustainability reporting forces companies to gather information about impacts that may not have been measured before. This reporting can serve as a differentiator in competitive industries and foster investor confidence, trust and employee loyalty. The benefits are immense as Sustainability disclosure helps organizations measure their impacts and mitigate false information being published which in turn provides a strong structure to manage efficiently and set more vigorous long-term goals.In addition, reporting builds strong trust between stakeholders and the company by giving a more transparent look into the backbone of the company.  This leads to better decision making which helps encourage a
