The main focus of this certificate is on increasing energy efficiency and reducing energy consumption as well as energy costs.The purpose of this energy related ISO standard is to establish systems and processes which are essential to improve the energy performance. In order to reduce energy consumption in both locations sustainably, numerous measures have already been implemented,  processes  have been analysed , energy assessments have been conducted and areas of high energy consumption have been identified.
