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.

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.

The programme is suited to those responsible for energy, emissions or management systems, including:

• Energy managers and energy engineers
• Sustainability, climate and environmental officers
• Plant, facilities and maintenance managers
• Quality, HSE and management system managers
• Internal auditors and certification consultants
• Procurement and finance staff involved in energy decisions
• Manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare and real estate operations leaders
• Government climate and energy focal points

Delegates leave with:

• A drafted energy policy, scope and energy review for a case organisation.
• A baseline and indicator set with a worked calculation.
• A greenhouse gas inventory template covering Scopes 1, 2 and 3.
• A marginal abatement cost curve and ranked mitigation options.
• A set of audit checklists for an energy management system.
• A phased mitigation and energy management implementation plan.

The ten days follow the sequence of a real implementation, using a single case organisation. Activities include:

• Standards walk-throughs that translate each clause into practical actions
• Spreadsheet labs for baselines, inventories and cost curves
• Daily workshops that build cumulative deliverables
• Mock audit with nonconformity reporting
• Case studies from industry, hospitality and public buildings
• Individual coaching on plans for participants' own organisations

A CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion issued by Vision Reach Global Consultancy is awarded to participants who attend the ten days and complete the practical deliverables. The certificate records attendance and learning; it is not a certification of any management system.
