Resumen

It determines that the implementation of ISO 50001 in industrial companies and projects its impact on sustainability through an approach based on data and studies in industrial companies, demonstrating how the standard can improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It seeks to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of integrating energy management practices to achieve sustainability goals. Case studies were conducted in various industries that have implemented ISO 50001. Quantitative methods were used to measure CO2 emission reductions and energy efficiency improvements. Data were collected through energy audits, sustainability reports and interviews with energy managers. The results indicate that the implementation of ISO 50001 has led to an average reduction of 10-20 % in CO2. emissions. A significant improvement in energy efficiency was observed, with a reduction in energy consumption of up to 15 %. ISO 50001 is an effective tool for the reduction of the carbon footprint in industry, its implementation not only improves energy efficiency, but also contributes to the environmental and economic sustainability of companies.
