iomart has achieved ISO 50001:2011, the international standard
for Energy Management Systems. ISO 50001 is the standard for energy
use and consumption. It provides a framework to integrate energy
efficiency into the daily operations of global companies.
Obtaining this standard demonstrates that iomart's approach to
energy management complies with the Energy Savings Opportunity
Scheme (ESOS) and meets the objectives of the Climate Change
Agreement (CCA).
Steve Flockhart, Head of
Information Assurance and Compliance for iomart, said: "Performance
and compliance are key requirements for any business moving to the
cloud. Achieving ISO 50001 means our customers can be sure that
energy efficiency and environmental management are important
drivers for how we manage the resources and assets we have within
our data centres and how we deliver our services."
Along with ISO 14001, the standard for Environmental Management
Systems, achieving ISO 50001 means that iomart is one of the cloud
companies leading the way in its approach to energy and
environmental management. iomart works with Schneider Electric to
analyse energy efficiency across its multiple UK data centres and
to ensure it meets regulatory requirements.
Steve Wilhite, Senior Vice
President of Energy & Sustainability Services at Schneider
Electric said: "In any industry, energy and environmental
management make business sense but efficiency and reliability are
often seen as at odds. iomart has proven otherwise. ISO 50001
certification just adds to the steps it's taken to deliver
always-on services while optimising the use of energy and other
critical resources."
iomart is proud to have achieved more industry certifications than
any other cloud and managed services provider in the UK.
Steve Flockhart added: "iomart is
committed to delivering cloud and managed services to the highest
standards on behalf of our customers across the private and public
sector."
