“…In the situation characterized by a governance vacuum around corporate transparency, accountability, and social-environmental responsibility (Scherer and Palazzo, 2007;Scherer and Smid, 2000), international organizations and NGOs have launched various self-regulatory initiatives and guidelines to both legitimize and encourage corporate sustainability practices (Scherer and Palazzo, 2007;Waddock, 2008;Yuriev and Boiral, 2018). One of the most widelyknown initiatives is the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) with its 10 principles.…”

“…The conceptual apparatus of EE is enshrined in international legal norms and standards. For example, the international standard for energy management systems ISO 50001 provides a correlation between the services, goods or energy, and the initial level of energy consumption (Yuriev and Boiral, 2018;da Silva Gonçalves and dos Santos, 2019).…”

This study is aimed at identifying the weaknesses and strengths of the mechanism for managing industrial energy efficiency (EE) under the EU policy. It is of interest not only for countries consuming energy raw materials but also for its suppliers, since they are to predict the situation on the markets and follow global trends in energy saving and environmental protection. Within the framework of the research, the methods of analogies and comparisons are used to determine the costs of switching industrial enterprises to the EE principles. The modeling method is applied to five companies in the EU, the USA, Russia, and China. By comparing the existing mechanism for EE regulating, excellent results for the EU industrial companies can be observed. They are characterized by the achievement of a high level of energy saving (10-12%) at low costs. For most US companies, an adequate level of potential energy conservation can be noticed. Russian industrial enterprises are characterized by low energy saving at a huge investment cost. For companies in China, favorable conditions are created to achieve efficient energy conservation, however, the cost for EE remains high.

“…• Lack of awareness of the impact of energy costs on production costs To improve all these aspects, the adoption of Energy Management Systems (EnMSs) based on international standards has gained momentum since the ISO 50001 standard was launched in 2011 [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. An EnMS system is frequently confused with the efforts by the companies to save energy, but it has to be taken into account that the concept of energy management is a wider concept that involves many other aspects such as the control, monitorization and conservation of energy in both the public and private sectors of activity [20].…”

“…As a result, in a very brief period, ISO 50001 is the global reference standard to adopt and certify an EnMS [17]. Previously, the potential to improve the energy management with Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) based on international meta-standards such as ISO 14001, and EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) was identified in both the scholarly and the practitioner literature.…”

Contribution to Energy Management of the Main Standards for Environmental Management Systems: The Case of ISO 14001 and EMAS

et al. 2017

Abstract:The adoption of Energy Management Systems (EnMSs) based on international standards has gained momentum since the ISO 50001 standard was launched in 2011. Before that, the potential to improve the energy management with Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) based on ISO 14001 and EMAS was identified in the literature. However, no in-depth analysis reported in the literature has explored this claim. The need for research is now even more evident with the development of new versions of the standards for environmental management-ISO 14001:2015 and EMAS III. Since many companies that already have a certified EMSs might be uncertain whether to adopt an ISO 50001 based EnMSs, the present work aims to shed light on the contribution of ISO 14001:2015 and EMAS III to energy management. Furthermore, the work summarizes the results of an empirical exploratory study carried out in eight Spanish organizations, four with an EMS implemented and certified based on ISO 14001:2015 and four more with an EMS registered to EMAS III. The findings show that both ISO14001 and EMAS certified organizations carry out energy management practices, even though they have no formal EnMSs implemented. Implications for managers and policy makers are discussed, together with avenues for further research.
