ISO 50001:2018

Certification of energy management systems

Incentive

In recent years, energy issues have gained increasing importance in society and in companies and are in the focus of climate discussions. ISO 50001:2018 is built-up according to the «high level structure» and defines at international level the requirements for systematic, data- and fact-based energy management. It requires continuous improvement of the energy management system and energy-related performance, including improvement of energy use, energy consumption and energy efficiency. Companies that demonstrably meet these requirements can increase their energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of energy use. They can demonstrate that their activities are based on their own initiative and commitment and respect legal requirements.
SQS has years of professional experience and extensive expertise in validation and certification processes relating to energy use and carbon footprint. This explains why the SQS certificate for energy management systems conforming to ISO 50001 is held in high regard and accepted all over the world.

Outcome

ISO 50001:2018 provides the basis for the continuous improvement of energy management and energy-related performance, as well as the associated cost reduction and reduction of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions.

Target groups

Companies and organisations of all sizes operating in all sectors.

Validity

3 years - there is an annual audit to ensure that standards are being maintained and a recertification audit after three years.

Recognition

The SQS certificate of conformity with ISO 50001 has international validity and is recognised worldwide through the IQNET membership.

Combinations

ISO 50001:2018 can be combined with ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management) and can be extended with other management system standards based on the «high level structure» to form an integrated management system.

ISO 14001:2015

Certification of environmental management systems

Incentive

Any company that wants to achieve sustainable success must align its strategy, efforts and results with ecological principles and demonstrate them credibly. ISO 14001 is ideally suited for this purpose. It defines globally valid criteria for efficient and effective environmental management systems. Introduced in 1996 as one of the world's first standards in this area, it has been further developed in several revisions - most recently in 2015. Since then, the proven standard also requires, for example, the consideration of external issues relevant to the organisation concerned and its stakeholders. By requiring that products and services are considered over their entire life cycle, it lays the foundation for circular solutions and thus for improved environmental performance. With its comprehensive approach to environmental management, ISO 14001:2015 is predestined to cover the environmental dimension of sustainable business management.

Outcome

ISO 14001:2015 forms the basis for a systematic orientation on relevant environmental aspects including concerned stakeholders. Such an environmental management system will help to minimise risks and to continuously improve the organisation. Those who demonstrably meet the requirements strengthen their credibility and image with customers, suppliers, partners and the public.

Target groups

Companies and organisations of all sizes operating in all sectors.

Validity

3 years - in the sense of continuous development, a surveillance audit is carried out annually and a recertification audit after 3 years.

Recognition

The SQS certificate ISO 14001 is internationally valid and recognised worldwide. Its particular credibility is based on the one hand on the many years of experience and the cross-sector competence of the auditors, and on the other hand on SQS's membership of the International Certification Network IQNET. The SQS certificate ISO 14001 is internationally valid and recognised worldwide. Its particular credibility is based on the one hand on the many years of experience and the cross-sector competence of the auditors, and on the other hand on SQS's membership of the International Certification Network IQNET.

Combinations

ISO 14001 can be extended to an integrated management system in connection with ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management), ISO 50001 (Energy management) or ISO 31000 (Risk management). Since the 2015 revision, it has been shown that the harmonised structure of these standards enables an efficient integration of an environmental management system into an existing quality management system according to ISO 9001.
