Corporate Energy Policy
Corporate Energy policy refers to a company’s approach to energy. There are established standards for energy management. These standards include ISO 500001, Energy Star and Superior Energy Performance. In 2019, some companies “have committed to set climate targets across their operations and value chains aligned with limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and reaching net-zero emissions by no later than 2050”. This approach is related to the Paris Agreement and is concerned with carbon footprints and greenhouse gas emissions. Corporate energy considerations may include:


 * Reduction of Energy Cost


 * Long-term energy strategy


 * Awareness of Non-energy benefits


 * Demand for eco-friendly products


 * Availability of cheap, cleaner technology

Non-energy intensive multi-site manufacturing organizations do not exceed emission limits set by carbon emissions environmental regulations within their country of operation and therefore may be not legally required to regulate CO2 emissions. Corporate Energy Policy may also be affected by carbon taxes, which are taxes levied based on the amount of carbon emissions.
