Energy management<br />

When it comes to measures for reducing energy consumption and CO 2<br />

emissions in its processes,<br />

<strong>Knorr</strong>-<strong>Bremse</strong> adheres closely to the provisions of the international standard for energy management<br />

(ISO 50001). This requires continuous improvement of the energy balance through efficient and sustainable<br />

use of energy resources of all kinds.<br />

The concept of energy management thus affects a wide range of different company processes, including<br />

energy procurement, use and conversion. One important aspect is the fact that efficient energy<br />

use should be taken into account at them planning stage for new company sites and production facilities,<br />

so that the scope for achieving energy savings is identified in advance and can be utilized during<br />

implementation.
