Hi there (my first post!),
I am currently integrating the ISO 50001 standard, but following a discussion with an auditor, I could do with some guidance/clarification. I also couldn't find any similar posts using the search button.
(As a quick summary!) I have completed our energy review, established baseline data and have created a system for reviewing and updating our EnPI's. So we are quite far into our EnMS development.
However, I was recently told that the energy consumption of our sub-contractors (mainly haulage) has to be accounted for in our energy review. I believed this would be out the scope due to their energy use whilst delivering to be out of our immediate control. Due to this, I am slightly confused as the best way to monitor this going forward, or what the standard requires me to do to account for these energy uses. So my questions relate to how to interpret section 3.3.9 Outsourcing
A few issues with this are apparent to me:
Thank you in advance for those that take the time to read and reply, I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
Ben

A few issues with this are apparent to me:
- Can I exclude subcontracted work from my scope?
- Do I simply need to monitor subcontractor energy use for say, Haulage, (as an example by asking them to send me a spreadsheet detailing the litres of petrol consumed whilst on a delivery for us per month), and documenting this data per year on the same spreadsheet that I use to measure the businesses total energy use?
- Do I need to implement them into site's EnPI?
- Do I just need a commitment to use the most efficient trucks and routes where possible going forward etc?
Thank you in advance for those that take the time to read and reply, I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards,
