Companies are becoming increasingly aware of the benefits of systematic energy management practices. Certified energy management systems based on the leading international norm ISO 50001 help companies to reduce energy consumption, optimize material flows, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and make an active contribution to the clean-energy transition. The implementation of a robust energy management system is the ideal starting point for undertaking ambitious corporate climate action.
Opportunities and challenges
Support for all aspects of energy-management certification
From the beginning, we have worked to help our clients effectively manage all aspects of energy use. We have assisted companies with the implementation of the ISO 50001 standard in more than 100 projects. We also advise many companies both large and small on an ongoing basis in order to ensure continuous improvements in operational efficiency. Our experts are ready to assist you with such questions as:
How can I develop and implement an effective energy management system?
How do I develop the metrics that will be used to monitor the performance of my systems?
How can I establish a process for continuous improvement?
What actions should I undertake to improve the energy performance of my business?
How can an energy management system enable corporate climate action?

Energy performance metrics
How do you know if your operations are energy efficient or if implemented savings measures are producing the desired effects? We have developed a toolbox of key performance indicators that enable companies to monitor and assess their energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Companies around the globe use the ISO 50001 standard to document and improve their energy consumption. In a special webinar, Jochen Buser of GUTcert and Georg Ratjen of ÖKOTEC provide a practical introduction (German).

Through a holistic energy optimization of their cooling system, DUO PLAST AG now saves 575 tons of CO2 per year in foil production. ÖKOTEC supports this flagship project of the German Energy Agency with its expertise.
In cooperation with GUTcert and the registered organization German Corporate Initiative Energy Efficiency (DENEFF), ÖKOTEC publishes a guide that supports companies on their way to climate neutrality.
We have already had contact with many of our customers on energy performance indicators (EnPIs) in the wake of the standard revision of ISO 50001 and the increased requirements for evidence of improvement in energy-related performance (ebL).
