(1) Energy management leadership role and responsibility: attentiveness to the global scene
(2) Energy management in the scope of supply chain: Cannot avoid global perspectives
(3) ISO 50001 : Way to establishing system for self-certification in alleviate energy users' working and economic load
or burden (performance over conformance)
All three issues carry a common element: globalization perspective of "energy management".
We also would like to focus this year on the movement of SEP（Superior Energy Performance: website SEP) promoted by the U.S. Council for Energy Efficient Manufacturing (USCEEM) of which its major aims are to enhance globally compatible energy management operation using ISO 50001 benchmark and to standardize energy performance improvement verification (baseline setting and rational quantifiable EnPI) system.
In any case, one of the fisrt and most important elements to address these issues is to establish globally compatible "documentation" in energy management operation.
Our aim is to provide support to persons responsible in leading the organization's energy management operation and the team member to aggressively carrying out energy performance improvement.
We sincerely ask your continuing support.
Best wishes

Program aims to improve energy efficiency in U.S. industrial facilities, spur global competitiveness
On 19th January 2012, the Department of Energy (DOE) announced up to $3 million to administer DOE's Superior Energy Performance (SEP) program that will help American manufacturers continually increase the energy efficiency of their domestic facilities, boost their global competitiveness, and create jobs. The funding will support at least one organization to launch, operate, and promote the SEP program. When launched later this year, the voluntary program will provide a transparent, step-by-step certification process to help industrial and commercial facilities implement and validate improvements in their energy performance and reduce their energy costs....For the full story, please visit DOE site/

(1) The prime purpose of energy management is to continual improvement of energy performance, and if the system is valid,
it automatically complies to ISO 50001 standard, and therefore principally it provides "self certification" framework.
(2) Since it is the international standard, it provide the system to quantify and verify the energy performance improvement at
the universal scale no matter where your business units are located globally or locally.
(3) Person(s) responsible for leading the EnMS operation has the role and responsibility to create and maintain the
management documents including "EmNS Charter" to ensure the operation is ISO 50001 compatible, and so the
organization is comfortable in self certifying.
ISO 50001 is not at all particular about the "certification".
ISO 50001 is particular about "Improving your energy performance"
It strongly recommends to take the essence rather than formality.
So, what is the “essence”?
It is to ensure adding value to your business and its sustainability by improving energy performance in your operation.
So then, exactly what is ISO 50001 requiring?
Nothing. It is to promote the mission that each organization has: "Sustainable business development" through achieving the energy performance improvement objectives and targets, as a result of implementing the energy management system in line with the business operation. This is ISO 50001's aim and hope.
