The global pressing need to protect the environment, save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide has prompted the enterprises to implementing both individual energy saving measures and a more systematic approach to improve the overall enterprise’s energy performance. Energy management is becoming a priority as enterprises strive to reduce energy costs, conform to regulatory requirements, and improve their corporate image. As such, enterprises are encouraged to manage their energy related matters in a systematic manner and a more harmonized way, to ensure continual improvement on their energy efficiency. Despite the increasing interest in energy management standards, a gap persists between energy management literature and current implementation practices. The release of the ISO 50001 international standard was meant to help the organizations develop sound energy management systems and effective process-based energy management structures that could be recognized through third-party certification. Building on the energy management literature and energy management standards, the current paper presents the essential steps the enterprises should take to practically design a sustainable energy management system. Also, by using multiple case studies of enterprises that have implemented an ISO 50001 energy management system, it introduces a structured approach that companies can use to effectively develop their energy planning and improve energy performance. The key components of the enterprise’s energy planning are discussed, as well as practical examples of energy objectives and performance indicators from various industries are offered. The paper shows that by establishing an effective energy planning system, this will efficiently meet demands for achieving energy performance indicators and international certification.

Zarządzanie energią na bazie wymagań normy ISO 50001 jest przykładem podejmowania systemowych działań ekoinnowacyjnych, zarówno w obszarze cenowym, jak i jakościowym. Artykuł ma charakter teoretyczno-przeglądowy i zawiera własne analizy dokumentów obowiązujących w zakresie tworzenia i funkcjonowania systemów zarządzania energią. Jego celem jest wskazanie cech systemu zarządzania energią rekomendowanego przez International Organization for Standardization, tworzonego na podstawie nowego w polskich realiach standardu międzynarodowego. Zrozumienie istoty formalnego systemu zarządzania energią (budowanego na bazie wymagań i wskazówek normy ISO 50001) jest kluczowe, by zagwarantować skuteczność tego rozwiązania w praktyce gospodarczej. W odróżnieniu np. od systemu zarządzania środowiskowego bazującego na wymaganiach normy PN-EN ISO 14001:2005, w przypadku systemu powstałego na bazie normy PN-EN ISO 50001:2012 widoczny jest zarówno zarządczy, jak i wykonawczy (odnoszący się do wymagań udowodnienia osiągniętych celów) charakter standardu.

The implementation, functioning and improvement of the energy management system based on the requirements of the ISO 50001 standard is an example of undertaking eco-innovative activities in the area related both to prices (costs) and quality. The aim of the article was to indicate the characteristics of the energy management system recommended by the International Organization for Standarization, and built on the basis of the guidelines of the international standard (new in the Polish reality). The understanding of the gist (the so called “fundamental idea”) of the formal energy management system (built on the basis of the requirements and guidelines of ISO 50001) is of key importance to guarantee the effectiveness of the functioning of this complex solution in the economic practice. It provides the opportunity to gain the position of a leader and an initiator of eco-innovative solutions on the market by declaring self-discipline of an organization in the area of the strategic energy management.
