GreenFlex Implementing energy performance and low-carbon projects Support towards ISO 50001 certification Being supported in obtaining the ISO 50001 certification: definition and business stakes The ISO 50001 standard enables you to formalise an approach to achieving your energy-saving objectives. By setting up an Energy Management System (EMS), GreenFlex can support you in your ISO 50001 certification process, so that you can reduce your energy consumption over the long term. What is ISO 50001? The ISO 50001 standard is an international certification created by the International Organisation for Standardisation, which provides a method and tools for organisations to initiate their energy performance approach and manage their energy consumption more effectively. Its principle is based on the implementation of an Energy Management System, encouraging continuous improvement and performance measurement. The Energy Management System is therefore the first step in a performance-based approach to reducing your energy consumption, and therefore your greenhouse gas emissions, in a sustainable way. ISO 50001 is aimed at all types of players and all sectors of activity: large companies, local authorities, SMEs, distributors, tertiary buildings, industry, etc. What are the differences between an energy audit and ISO 50001 certification? Companies with more than 250 employees, a turnover of more than €50 million and a balance sheet value of more than €43 million must carry out an energy audit every 4 years (articles L233-1 to L233-3 of the Energy Code). Unlike mandatory energy audits, ISO 50001 certification is voluntary. If you choose to have your site certified, you are signing up to a continuous improvement approach that also frees you from having to repeat an energy audit every 4 years. How can GreenFlex help you set up your energy management system? Our mission is to support you in achieving the ISO 50001 certification by providing methodological and operational assistance. We offer you personalised assistance to reduce your energy bills, better target your investments and improve your environmental footprint.

ISO 50001 certification GreenFlex can help you obtain certification from a certification body for the first time, and then update the procedures and documents required for renewal. Going further We can also help you set up an Environmental Management System using the ISO 14001 standard (one of the most widely used ISO standards for sustainable development). As part of our support, we can also offer you an Energy Management Contract (EMC), as part of the implementation of an Energy Management System.

ISO 50009 is a guide for the implementation of an Energy Management System common to a group of companies or organisations. Like ISO 50001, ISO 50009 is an approach for improving energy performance. Both have a framework (energy policy, energy performance indicators, action plan, communication, etc.) and a common philosophy based on continuous improvement. ISO 50009 is a joint or concerted approach to energy management by several organisations with a common element (customers, business sector, location, franchise group, etc.). When two or more organisations come together to manage their energy collectively, they form an Energy Management Group (EMG). The EMG then sets up an Energy Management Committee (EMC) to coordinate the activities of the joint Energy Management System. What are the benefits of ISO 50009? Improving energy performance Sharing expertise Sharing equipment Pooling investment in projects and the necessary resources Decarbonising scopes 1 and 2 by reducing energy consumption Achieve better results in terms of energy management Reduce costs Do you need support?
