The Energy Management Leadership Awards recognize leading organizations for their energy management achievements and raise the profile of the ISO 50001 energy management system as a proven, broadly applicable solution to global energy and climate challenges.
The Energy Management Leadership Awards program is now accepting submissions for the 2023 competition. Facilities or organizations holding a current ISO 50001 certificate from an accredited body are encouraged to enter. The Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM) runs this prestigious global contest to raise awareness of ISO 50001-certified energy management systems and the many benefits they provide.
Now in its eighth year, the competition has recognized achievements of organizations with certified systems in 105 countries or economies and across 50 sectors—such as cement, iron and steel, and chemical manufacturing, municipalities, retailers, healthcare systems, hospitality companies, research institutions, and water/wastewater treatment facilities. More than 260 case studies describe how organizations around the world use the ISO 50001 standard to achieve energy, economic, and sustainability benefits that boost competitiveness. Past awardees credit the competition with increasing senior management support for further investment in additional energy savings.
To enter the competition, each organization must submit a structured case study describing its energy management experience and the ensuing benefits. These case studies enable companies at all stages of familiarity with ISO 50001 to tell their unique stories and share tips or best practices. All submissions are evaluated by an independent panel of acclaimed international experts. The top entries will receive the prestigious CEM 2023 Award of Excellence in Energy Management . This global award brings high-profile government recognition and media attention to organizations that transform the way they use energy. Beyond the Award of Excellence, each organization that submits a qualifying entry will receive an Energy Management Insight Award for sharing the diverse benefits of energy management systems. In addition, some national governments offer their own energy management awards based on the CEM case study submissions received from their country.
The submission deadline is Thursday, 16 March 2023. Interested parties are invited to visit the CEM Energy Management Leadership Awards website to learn about the competition rules, entry format, scoring, and recognition.
