20 The management of energy use and consumption is an essential part of environmental management. ISO 14001 is based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and the process of continuous improvement, as well as the formal and structural requirements already present in the existing ISO 14001 in your company. As an EMAS-company, you have the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, the process of continuous improvement, as well as all formal and structural requirements, already firmly rooted in your company. Practical example (adapted): A medium-sized company called “Altpapieraufbereitung Oswald” decided to introduce an EnMS for tax-related purposes. To implement the EnMS, a continuous, objectively assessable improvement process should be present in the structures of the company. The Head of the company initiated the process by including the objective of energy efficient management in the company philosophy, appointed an Energy Manager and provided him with the corresponding resources and responsibilities (Plan). The manager coordinates the documentation of all energy-related processes in the company. The company “Altpapieraufbereitung Oswald” has already taken other approaches for an environmental management system. However, it is not applied in a systemic manner because only certain processes in the company are controlled and directed by the system. To reflect the continuous improvement process, a structure is established for the introduction of an energy management which will make it possible to record and assess all energy flows and conduct improvement measures (Do). The results of the measures are regularly assessed by the Energy Manager, new targets are set and the resultant reports are compiled (Check). The newly defined targets and measures are implemented by the Energy Manager with the support of employees and an external energy advisor (Act).
Determine responsibilities of the top management For the long-term success of an EnMS, the motivation of the employees and the commitment shown for an EnMS are of major importance. This includes all levels and functions of an organisation and begins at the highest management level of a company, the top management. Within the framework of an EnMS, the functions of top management include: • Determining, introducing, and maintaining an energy policy for the organisation. • Ensuring the availability of required resources for introducing, attaining, maintaining, and improving the EnMS (personnel, special capacities, technical and financial resources). • • • R A fEW REASONS WHy MANAGEMENt DOESN’t INtRODuCE AN ENMS No one is responsible for energy matters Energy costs are seen as fixed costs Sub-systems within changing company structures are not transcendental EMAS requirements are in accordance with ISO 14001. Tip • Appointing a management representative (“Energy Manager”) with established responsibilities and powers for implementing an EnMS. This person should also be responsible for submitting the report on performance and the results of the system to the top management. • Deciding on further strategic energy management measures on the basis of documented results regarding the subject of energy in the internal audits. • Reviewing the EnMS of the organisation at regular intervals to test it for results. This review should be recorded and maintained as part of management reviews. • Employees regard “their processes” as optimised and greet further analysis with scepticism Clear responsibility of the top management is an important characteristic of DIN EN 16001. If you have already implemented ISO 14001 and your top management is familiar with energy-related problems, then the introduction of DIN EN 16001 should pose no additional costs for your top management. By transferring the Energy Manager to the upper-most management level of the company, you are setting the best example for a successful implementation. For example, the Plant Manager can simultaneously lead the energy management team in the company. 21
