What is ISO 50001?
ISO 50001 is an international Energy Management System (EnMS) standard designed to help organizations continuously improve their energy performance, increase energy efficiency, and reduce energy costs. It provides a framework for organizations to systematically monitor, analyze, and reduce their energy consumption. Its core philosophy is to apply the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle to energy management, creating a sustainable culture of efficiency.
