Grohe has secured the implementation of an ISO 50001 compliant energy management system and its successful certification by TÜV Nord.
Grohe AG CEO Michael Rauterkus said in a statement: “Our energy management system is of great strategic relevance in terms of reaching our ambitious targets. Among these targets is a 20% increase in our energy efficiency by the year 2020 compared to the year 2013.
“We have already achieved a 12% increase and I am confident that, with all employees being committed to the successful implementation of the project, we will actually meet our 20% target.”
Grohe scored high on the energy audit conducted for the certification of its energy management system.

To conform to ISO 50001, an energy management system needs to document all energy inputs and uses as well as the company’s total energy consumption.
The auditors assess the current energy efficiency in terms of the manufacturing output and the energy expended in all related processes.
Beyond capturing a simple snapshot of the situation at the time of the audit, a certified energy management system also promotes a systematic improvement of energy efficiency on an ongoing basis.
All the requisite organisational and technical measures have been put in place and existing processes have been enhanced through the addition of specific energy management functions.
