Raffmetal obtains certification of its Energy Management System for all production sites according to the new UNI EN ISO 50001:2018 standard

January 22, 2021

Raffmetal achieved an important result at the beginning of this year: the re-certification of its Energy Management System according to the new UNI EN ISO 50001:2018 standard.
This path started with the first certification audits in 2018 at the Malpaga site, where the processes of scrap melting and production of aluminium alloys from recycling take place, and at Ferriera, where the total recovery of the melting by-products takes place.
In 2021, in addition to confirming these two production sites, the Odolo unit, where the selection and pre-treatment of aluminium scrap takes place, was also certified for the first time.
We have thus obtained global certification for all Raffmetal sites.

But let's take a step back: what is 50001?

The UNI EN ISO 50001:2018 standard defines the international standard for companies wishing to set up, maintain and improve their Energy Management System (EnMS), specifying measurement and documentation criteria in order to better manage their energy performance.
The standard is based on the famous Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle (the same cycle on which other management systems are based), and provides organisations with general rules on how to monitor their energy performance most effectively.
Starting from the analysis of the distribution of energy consumption, it helps the company to set achievable targets through improvement actions, as well as to monitor energy use in order to predict and optimise the future performance of interventions and projects from both an energy and economic sustainability point of view.
ISO 50001 makes it possible to systematically manage the opportunities for improvement that, in a lively and proactive organisation like Raffmetal, arise on a daily basis and to keep the results of the improvement activities implemented monitored.

Why is 50001 certification important for Raffmetal's stakeholders?

Obtaining this certification shows how the culture of energy efficiency and sustainability in general represents an integral part of Raffmetal's corporate policy and daily operations.
This result testifies to the fact that we are continuing, with a systematic approach, on the path of continuous improvement of our energy performance.
It confirms the company's constant commitment to an increasingly efficient and sustainable use of energy, consistent with the principles of the circular economy and the increasingly stringent objectives dictated by the market and the European Union.
Achieving this goal is a source of great satisfaction and even greater ambition: we do not consider this recognition to be a point of arrival, but rather a continuous stimulus and encouragement towards building an increasingly energy-efficient and sustainable future.
