The certificates, like those for the other management systems at trans-o-flex \u2014 such as the pharmaceutical logistics certification in accordance with EU GDP or the security certifications according to TAPA standards \u2014 are available at any time on the company website in the Downloads section.<\/p>\n<p>An energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001 consists of five core elements. To begin with, the company develops and documents its energy policy. In doing so, the company is committed to its strategy of efficient energy use. The current status at the start of the process is established by recording and analysing the energy flows and consumption. At the same time, this analysis can reveal potential energy savings. In addition, specific goals in terms of the energy efficiency and energy consumption can be developed and recorded. Following this, the development and implementation of action plans commences in order to successively achieve the energy goals. Ultimately the key concern involves regularly inspecting what has been attained and where necessary to adapt certain individual steps and to implement new ideas. This continuous improvement process within a PDCA cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act) forms the systematic core of every ISO certification.<\/p>\n<p>As one of the first steps in the operational rollout of the management system, all branch managers completed training in energy-efficient operations and behaviour. The largest consumers at each location were also identified. It emerged here that at an average trans-o-flex site around 70 per cent of total energy demand is required for the provision of heating. \u201cWe will therefore place particular emphasis on upgrading and controlling the heating systems,\u201d explains Reder. \u201cMeasures in this area always affect both costs and the carbon footprint, so we therefore have a double saving effect.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;60px&#8221; mobile_height=&#8221;30px&#8221; tablet_height=&#8221;30px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column
