Whereas ISO 14001 helps you to systematically identify and manage all of your environmental impacts in the broadest sense, ISO 50001 specifies the energy management system (EnMS) requirements that an organisation has to develop and implement to form an energy policy.
With ISO 50001, an organisation can establish objectives, targets, and action plans related to significant energy use, which are intended to lead to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, energy costs, and other related environmental impacts through systematic management of energy consumption.
The document helps explain the key differences between ISO 14001 and ISO 50001.
