As the Energy Management System standard (ISO 50001) takes hold around the world, energy management will grow as a key business process. Hatch's early work with ISO 50001 has shown we can deliver real shareholder value.
ISO 50001 combines energy management best practices with the “plan-do-check-act” continual improvement model that launched the ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) Management System Standards. While this is the first ISO standard to focus on energy management, existing energy management systems in Europe have already shown that companies can achieve significant and sustainable energy intensity reductions—in some cases saving 10-20%.
Hatch can help enterprises determine if ISO 50001 is right for you—today or in the future. Our process involves:
- Organizational planning and resource commitments
- Developing energy policies
- Data collection and analysis
- Energy assessments
- Process mapping and documentation of key energy using processes
- Training and coaching—both technical and management)
- Enabling cross-functional teamwork
- Measurement and verification
- Internal auditing
- Working with the external auditors as you become officially certified
