It provides a framework for organizations to integrate energy management into overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management. Like the ISO 14001 energy management standard, the ISO 50001 standard was adopted with the aim of continuously improving energy performance through the creation and operation of energy management systems centered on the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) cycle.
