Certifying your energy management system to the ISO 50001:2018 Energy Management System standard may benefit your organisation in many ways. A certified management system confirms that you are working structured and strategically to reduce the organisation’s environmental footprint, and that you are committed to further improvement of environmental management.
Certification to the standard can contribute to:

•  Reducing energy consumption- The standards specified in the ISO 50001 will help reduce the energy consumption to a great extent this will not only help the organization itself but its members and the community as a whole.
•  Cost Reduction –One of the main aim and motive of an organization is to maximise its profits through various means including cost cuts. These standards allow you major cost cuts by saving generated from the reduced energy consumption.
•  Mitigating effects of climate change-Not only the organization benefits itself but it also helps in contributing to the environmental cause which most organizations otherwise fail to do (however willing). Reduced energy consumption will eventually lead to reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thus contributing in reducing the effects of increased temperature due to climate change. It also helps in reducing the carbon footprint and thus achieve the targets of carbon footprint reduction set up by various legislations or otherwise.
•  Improved brand image and credibility-The certification will definitely reflect the responsible image of the organization, its commitment to environmental causes and not just the profits. The organization also benefits from the increased credibility among its customers and various stakeholders. It makes the organizations image as a trustworthy and responsible one which will eventually be beneficial for the organisation in the long run in brand building.
•  Increased Awareness-As these standards and procedures are implemented by the employees and various people working for the organization there will be increased awareness among its employees about various energy efficient practices and about reducing energy consumption which will eventually benefit the individual, the organization and the society as a whole.
•  Improved management and decision making –The certification requires that the organization set their own targets and policies for energy management and this requires efficient management at all levels of the organization. The decision making has to be efficient and on time and the operation and maintenance and monitoring need to be done at regular intervals. It will improve the overall management of the organization from decision making at the top level to the operation and also the maintenance.
•  Improvement of energy performance, including energy efficiency, use and energy consumption.
•  Reducing environmental impact, including greenhouse gas emissions without affecting operations and simultaneously increasing profitability.
•  Continual improvement of the energy management systems.
