ISO 50001: Risk Manager

The ISO 50001: Risk Manager course is a specialized professional program designed to equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to identify, assess, manage, and control energy-related risks and opportunities within an Energy Management System (EnMS) aligned with ISO 50001. ISO 50001 is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and emphasizes a risk-based, data-driven approach to improving energy performance. Effective energy risk management is essential to achieving sustained improvements in energy efficiency, cost control, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience. This course focuses on energy risk governance, structured risk assessment techniques, integration of risk management into energy planning, and performance monitoring, enabling participants to support or lead energy risk management activities within ISO 50001-compliant organizations.
