Introducing the world’s first<br />
ISO 50001- certified building<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> headquarters first to meet<br />
new energy management standard<br />
ISO ® 50001 milestone for its headquarters,<br />
the company had obtained High Quality<br />
Environmental standard (HQE) Exploitation,<br />
ISO 14001, and NF EN 16001 certification.<br />
BHEN-8K4QFR_GB<br />
In June 2011, <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> corporate<br />
headquarters in Rueil-Malmaison, France, was certified<br />
as complying with the new ISO 50001 standard for<br />
energy management systems. It was the first building<br />
in the world to earn such designation.<br />
‘This latest certification recognises our<br />
commitment to energy efficiency and our<br />
expertise in this field,’ said Frédéric Abbal,<br />
president <strong>of</strong> <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> France,<br />
when the certification was announced<br />
in June 2011. ‘More than ever, we are<br />
aiming for the highest standards in energy<br />
management for both our customers’<br />
buildings and our own.’<br />
<strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong> is committed to the<br />
continuous improvement <strong>of</strong> energy<br />
performance for commercial and industrial<br />
buildings, optimising their use, and reducing<br />
their operating costs. Prior to reaching the<br />
The most demanding<br />
energy management standard<br />
The new ISO 50001 standard defines<br />
the requirements for the development,<br />
implementation, maintenance and<br />
improvement <strong>of</strong> energy management systems.<br />
It is intended to help companies accomplish<br />
the following:<br />
> Make better use <strong>of</strong> existing<br />
energy-consuming assets<br />
> Create transparency and facilitate<br />
communication on the management<br />
<strong>of</strong> energy resources<br />
> Promote energy management best<br />
practices and reinforce good energy<br />
management behaviours<br />
> Evaluate and prioritise the implementation<br />
<strong>of</strong> new energy-efficient technologies<br />
> Provide a framework for promoting<br />
energy efficiency throughout the<br />
supply chain<br />
> Facilitate energy management<br />
improvements for greenhouse gas<br />
emission reduction projects<br />
> Allow integration with other organisational<br />
management systems such as<br />
environmental, and health and safety<br />
systems.<br />
Because it is an international standard, ISO<br />
50001 can be deployed to <strong>Schneider</strong> <strong>Electric</strong><br />
sites in 100-plus countries worldwide. It is<br />
expected that the new standard could<br />
impact 60 per cent <strong>of</strong> energy usage in the<br />
world, with broad applicability across national<br />
economic sectors.<br />
