What is the EN 16001 standard?
EN 16001 is an internationally accepted standard for energy management that outlines a framework for improving energy efficiency. The standard is applicable to any organisation, regardless of size and industry sector.
EN 16001 is compatible with other accepted management systems, such as ISO 14001 and ISO 9001.
Why is EN 16001 certification good for my business?
