Energy strategies of politics

Even many countries formulate energy strategies. The Swiss Federal Council decided in May 2011 to resign nuclear energy medium-dated. The nuclear power plants will be shut down at the end of life and will not be replaced. In Compensation they put the focus on energy efficiency, renewable energies, fossil energy sources and the development of water power.

The European Union has clear instructions for its members. The “20-20-20-targets” include, that the Member States have to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% below 1990 levels, increase energy efficiency by 20% and achieve a 20% share of renewable energy in total energy consumption by 2020.

Ethical and normative basis of the energy strategies

The basis of every energy strategy is the corporate culture and the related ethical standards applying in the company. Ethics, in the sense of business ethics, examines ethical principles and moral or ethical issues that arise in a business environment. Ethical standards can appear in company guidelines, energy and environmental policies or other documents.

The most relevant ethical ideas for the energy management are:

• Utilitarianism: This form of ethics has the maxim that the one acts are good or right, whose consequences are optimal for the welfare of all those affected by the action (principle of maximum happiness). In terms of energy management, the existence of external costs should be considered. They do not directly affect those who profit from the economic activity but non-participants like future generations. This error in the market mechanism can be solved by the internalization of external costs.
• Argumentation Ethics: This fundamental ethical idea says that everyone who is affected by the decision, must be involved in decision making. This is done in a fair dialogue, the result is completely uncertain.
• Deontological ethics: The deontological ethics assigns individuals and organizations certain obligations. A general example is the golden rule: “One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.” Therefore, everyone should manage their duties and make an energy economic contribution.

DIN EN ISO 50001 – increase energy performance with the international standard for energy management systems

The international ISO 50001 standard established the requirements and guidance for organizations to successfully develop, implement, maintain and continually improve an energy management system (EnMS).

With the ISO 50001 revision, the standard provides companies internationally recognized guidelines to improve energy balance, reduce CO2 emissions, and lower energy costs by using energy more efficiently.

Our experts support you in introducing an effective energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001:2018. Increased requirements necessary for the sustainable and efficient use of energy have been optimally addressed in the revised standard.

Our many years of practical experience in ISO certification makes us the ideal partner to serve you in your energy management system needs. With us by your side for the entire certification process, you have the opportunity to establish sustainable improvement in energy efficiency throughout your company.

Our experts are happy to answer any further questions you may have. Feel free to contact us!

Revision ISO 50001:2018

You may continue to be certified by us according to the old standard for up to 18 months after the publication of the new ISO 50001:2018. After that, we will no longer carry out audits according to ISO 50001:2011.

We offer you further information: Read more in our questions and answers on ISO 50001
and in our brochure “Current information on ISO 50001 and ISO 50003”

Improve your energy performance and reduce energy costs with ISO 50001

With an ISO 50001 certified energy management system, your organization will improve its energy balance and reduce CO2 emissions. This leads to increased profitability and improved competitive advantages through lower energy costs. By identifying optimization potentials, your organization’s success will be maximized through the introduction of new energy-efficient technologies.

The High-Level-Structure (HLS) provides a guideline to help you optimally unify the structure and requirements of your energy management system. This superordinate structure facilitates the implementation and maintenance of several management systems and supports the development of integrated management systems.

ISO 50001 certification will increase your employees’ awareness and motivation toward a more efficient use of energy, document your energy performance improvement efforts and promote the positive branding of your organization.
