Energy management system 50001
In 2011, GIZEH implemented an energy management system as per ISO 50001 which is based on a management model aimed to save energy in a sustainable manner. Not only do the improvements made reduce both energy consumption and production costs, but they also reduce CO2 emissions and, in doing so, impede global warming. Internal and external audits are carried out at GIZEH every year. They aim to determine whether objectives are being achieved. In 2020, energy management successfully adapted to the requirements of the new ISO 50001:2018 standard.
Energy Efficiency Networks Initiative
An energy efficiency network is a group of at least 5 companies or company sites, however in general one group consists of between 8 and 15 companies/company sites. Over a period usually lasting 2-3 years, they work together to exchange experience and ideas in a systematic, goal-oriented and non-bureaucratic manner in order to increase energy efficiency. The objective of these networks is for companies to significantly increase energy efficiency in the long term and, in doing so, create the potential to noticeably reduce energy costs.
