Below is an excerpt from ISS-Corporate’s recently released article “Energy Management Systems: Global Trends and Best Practices”. The full article is available on ISS-Corporate’s resources page.
Energy efficiency is gaining prominence as companies navigate rising energy costs, pressure to reduce operating expenses, and the global drive toward net zero emissions. These factors are reshaping operational priorities, while investors, regulators, and business partners increasingly expect credible action on climate and resource efficiency. As a result, energy performance is becoming an important lever for resilience, cost control, and long-term competitiveness.
To meet these expectations, organizations are turning to Energy Management Systems (EnMS) – a structured framework for embedding energy performance into business processes. Unlike ad hoc initiatives or isolated technology upgrades, an EnMS enables companies to monitor, control, and optimize energy use systematically, aligning operational efficiency with sustainability objectives.
