EN ISO 50001 is the current global standard for energy management systems and has been in force since 2011. The systematic recording and assessment of the type of energy used, the energy quantities and energy efficiency ensures that emissions can be reduced, resources spared and costs lowered.
Michael Wolff, management spokesperson of Pfleiderer GmbH said: “As an ecologically sustainable company, continuous improvement of our energy efficiency and avoiding energy wastefulness are very close to our heart. Energy management is therefore an important of Pfleiderer’s integrated management system. Successful certification of all our plants in Germany to ISO 50001 shows that we not only make this claim but also follow it up with real action.”
“Recording and assessing energy efficiency is a very complex process, due to the abundance of data to be collected”, says Bernhard Schmidtner, Head of Quality, Health & Safety and Environmental Protection of the Pfleiderer Group’s BC West. “As the preparations last year had to be carried out at the same time as the strategic reorientation of BC West, certification was a particularly huge feat for all concerned. Making us even more satisfied with the result.”
The Pfleiderer Group is one of the European leading manufacturers of engineered wood and surface finished products.
