Live Online ISO 50001 and Climate Change Mitigation Strategies Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 9, 2026 · from USD 1,700
Energy is often the largest controllable cost and the biggest source of emissions in an organisation, yet it is rarely managed with the same discipline as quality or safety. A formal system turns scattered efficiency efforts into continual, evidenced improvement. This ten-day programme joins two disciplines that are usually taught apart. The first half walks through the ISO 50001 requirements: scope, energy policy, energy review, significant energy uses, energy performance indicators, baselines, objectives, operational control, internal audit and management review. The second half moves to climate mitigation, covering greenhouse gas inventories under the GHG Protocol, Scope 1, 2 and 3 boundaries, target setting, marginal abatement cost curves, renewable energy, electrification, carbon pricing and offsets, and voluntary reporting.
It is designed for energy managers, sustainability and environmental officers, plant and facilities engineers, quality and HSE managers, internal auditors, consultants and public sector climate focal points. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, built around a running case organisation. Participants finish with a drafted energy management system, an emissions inventory, a mitigation plan and an implementation timeline. Those who complete the work receive a CPD-accredited certificate.

About this course
Energy costs, supply reliability and climate commitments have moved from the sustainability report to the boardroom. Customers and lenders increasingly ask suppliers to show how they manage energy and carbon, and governments are tightening expectations on reporting and efficiency. Organisations that rely on one-off audits find that savings fade, because no one owns the routine of measuring, reviewing and improving.
This ten-day programme builds capability in two linked areas. The first is the ISO 50001 energy management system standard, understood through the plan-do-check-act cycle: how to establish context and leadership commitment, carry out an energy review, identify significant energy uses, choose performance indicators, build baselines, set objectives and action plans, control operations and procurement, monitor, audit and review. The second is climate change mitigation at organisational level. Participants compile a greenhouse gas inventory, understand how energy use drives Scope 1 and 2 emissions, set science-aligned targets, and evaluate mitigation options through cost curves and business cases that cover efficiency, fuel switching, on-site and purchased renewables, process change and value chain engagement.
Learning relies on a case organisation which participants build up through the ten days, so that exercises accumulate into a complete energy management and mitigation package. Sample utility data, audit templates and spreadsheet models are provided for practice.
Training Objectives
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Interpret the requirements of ISO 50001 and apply them to an organisation's context.
- Carry out an energy review and identify significant energy uses.
- Define energy performance indicators and baselines that stand up to audit.
- Plan objectives, targets and operational controls for continual energy improvement.
- Compile a greenhouse gas inventory using the GHG Protocol corporate standard.
- Set emission reduction targets and compare mitigation options by cost and impact.
- Prepare business cases for efficiency, renewable energy and electrification projects.
- Conduct internal audits and management reviews of an energy management system.
What you'll learn
Key Takeaways
Delegates leave with:
- A drafted energy policy, scope and energy review for a case organisation.
