The number of environmental standards and certifications is staggering, and their range is also expansive: from standards for entire energy and environmental management systems, to standards for buildings, appliances and equipment, products and materials. In this report we will look at two wide-ranging standards that play an important role for environmental and energy managers: ISO 14001 for environmental management systems and ISO 50001 for energy management systems. ISO 14001 ISO 14001, first published in 1996, sets out criteria for environmental management systems (EMSs).1 The current version, ISO 14001:2004, was reviewed and confirmed in 2008.2 The standard does not specify or verify environmental achievements such as carbon emission reductions; instead, it is designed to assure stakeholders that the company is measuring and trying to improve its 1 http://www.british-assessment.co.uk/services/iso-certification/iso-14001-certification/iso-14001-history 2 http://www.iso.org/iso/catalogue_detail?csnumber=31807 EL Insights | © 2013 Environmental Leader LLC.

The EMS must include all employees and build in accountability, consistency and continual improvement. ISO 14001 says the EMS should be based on a “plan-do-check-act” model, under which environmental activities are planned and carried out, progress is checked and then efforts are adjusted accordingly. The greatest opportunities for optimizing an EMS system can be found in the five subclauses, under ISO 14001 clause 4, that identify activities directly related to environmental performance.4 These subclauses address: • Environmental policy set by top management; • “Environmental aspects,” or activities, products, and services that interact with the environment. The company must identify these aspects, define their impacts and rank those impacts by significance; • Environmental objectives (quantified goals) and targets (specific actions needed to achieve the objectives); • Employee training; • Operational controls, to ensure that activities associated with significant environmental aspects are aligned with the company’s environmental policy, objectives, and targets; and to ensure proper documentation.5 3 http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards/management-standards/iso14000.htm 4 http://www.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/view-document.html?gid=4686 5 Ibid.

These two standards intersect with a common standard, ISO 19011, which gives guidelines for the audit of environmental and quality management systems.6 The ISO 14000 Family ISO 14001 is part of the 14000 family of standards, which address various aspects of environmental management. The dozens of published standards and tools includes: ISO 14004: Provides guidance for establishing, maintaining and improving EMSs, consistent with ISO 14001.7 ISO 14005: Provides guidance, particularly for SMEs, on phased implementation and maintenance of EMSs.8 ISO 14006: Provides guidance on establishing, maintaining and improving product ecodesign as part of an EMS.9 ISO 14015: Provides guidance on how to conduct an environmental assessment of sites and organizations, through systematically identifying environmental aspects and issues and determining business consequences.10 6 http://www.iso.org/iso/theiso14000family_2009.pdf 7 http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=31808 8 http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=43208 9 http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=43241 EL Insights | © 2013 Environmental Leader LLC.

ISO/TS 14033: This standard provides guidelines on how to acquire quantitative environmental information and data and implement methodology.11 ISO 14020: This series of standards addresses a range of approaches to environmental labels and declarations, including eco-labels (seals of approval), self-declared environmental claims, and quantified environmental information about products and services.12 ISO 14031: Provides guidance for organizations on how to evaluate their environmental performance. It also addresses how to choose suitable performance indicators.13 ISO 14040: This series of standards give guidelines on LCA studies, including information on how to reduce the overall environmental impact of products and services.14 ISO 14063: Provides guidance related to internal and external environmental communication.15 ISO 14064 parts 1, 2 and 3: These standards address greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and verification.

ISO 50001 The ISO 50001 standard is much newer, having launched in June 2011.22 It sets out requirements for energy management systems (EnMSs). The standard aims to help organizations establish the systems and processes to improve their energy performance, by making better use of their energy-consuming assets, evaluating and prioritizing the implementation of energy-efficient technology, and promoting efficiency throughout the supply chain. ISO 50001 requires organizations to conduct and document an energy planning process, establish and implement an energy policy, and develop, record and maintain an energy review. The standard specifies requirements for measurement, documentation and reporting, and for equipment design and procurement processes. Top management must identify the scope of the energy management system, communicate its importance, ensure that appropriate targets and performance indicators are established and ensure that results are measured.

  • Reasons to Adopt ISO 50001 Energy Management System
    sustainability Article Reasons to Adopt ISO 50001 Energy Management System Frederic Marimon 1,* ID and Martí Casadesús 2 ID 1 Department of Economics and Business Management, Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, 08017 Barcelona, Spain 2 Department of Business Management and Product Design, Universitat de Girona, 17003 Girona, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-932-541-800 Received: 7 September 2017; Accepted: 25 September 2017; Published: 27 September 2017 Abstract: Purpose: The main aim of this paper is to analyze the relationships between the corporate motivations that lead organizations to establish the ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS) standard, and the difficulties and benefits derived from its adoption. Design/methodology/approach: Three independent exploratory factor analyses (EFA) were conducted in order to identify (i) sources of motivation: social requirements, ecology drivers, and competitive advantage; (ii) the difficulties of an ISO 50001 adoption: operational difficulties and organizational difficulty; and (iii) types of benefits: ecological benefits and operational benefits. In a second step, an exploratory path analysis, performed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), was used to analyze the relations among motivation, difficulties, and benefits related to the adoption of the ISO 50001 standard. Findings: Social requirements explain operational difficulties, which in turn impacts on operational benefits. Ecology drivers are directly related to ecological benefits. Organizational difficulties have an inverse relationship with operational and ecological benefits. Operational difficulties are related to operational benefits and ecological benefits. Research limitations/implications: The questionnaire was disseminated to 87 Spanish companies with ISO 50001 certification. Managers and other practitioners such as consultants, auditing companies, and official organizations in charge of developing standards might find useful implications.

It is based on case studies that illustrate the use of standards for: SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation; SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy; SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities; and SDG 13 Climate Action. The publication documents the practical experience of regulatory authorities, governments and local administrations, as well as regional groups of countries, in using standards towards the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. With examples ranging from the subnational and national to the global levels, and from all regions, we hope this reading will inspire you to consider your local context and how you may apply standards to best realise the Global Goals in your constituency.
