Recently, Hangzhou Water Meter successfully passed expert review and obtained ISO 50001 Energy Management System certification. Following previous certifications in quality, environment, and corporate social responsibility management systems, this marks another "ISO series" international system officially put into operation by the company. It signifies that the company's energy management efforts have entered a scientific, standardized, and systematic phase, further highlighting its competitiveness within the industry.
In the era of the Industrial Internet of Things, the concept of green and low-carbon development runs through the entire process of advancing new quality productive forces. While vigorously cultivating new quality productive forces, Hangzhou Water Meter prioritizes efficiency, energy conservation, and consumption reduction as guiding principles, establishing and effectively operating an energy management system to promote green operations.
01 Institutional First: Establishing a Sound Energy Management System
The company strictly adheres to energy-related laws and regulations, grounded in the principles of green and low-carbon development. It has established an Energy Management System Working Group and an Energy Conservation and Consumption Reduction Committee, clearly defining and communicating responsibilities and authorities related to energy management. Institutional documents such as the *Energy Management Manual* and *Energy Management System Procedure Documents* have been developed, along with the formulation of energy management policies and annual energy management goals. Responsibilities are assigned based on the actual work of each department, and performance management assessment plans are implemented. Starting from the top-level design of energy management, the company promotes the efficient and robust implementation of its energy management system.
02 Strict Execution: Multiple Measures to Implement a "Green Innovation Combination"
Each department decomposes the goals of "improving energy efficiency and reducing energy costs," formulating and implementing their respective energy management plans. In production and R&D, the company actively adopts low-energy, low-emission intelligent manufacturing equipment, vigorously researches and introduces new technologies, processes, and materials to effectively enhance energy efficiency. In procurement, qualifications of key energy suppliers are evaluated, addressing energy consumption reduction at the source. Administratively, the company maintains diligent collection, filing, and archiving of energy management records, organizes training sessions to improve energy-saving knowledge and skills, and submits the *Energy Review Report* annually. Process control and evaluation are conducted based on established energy performance goals. Through departmental collaboration, innovation-driven approaches, and "multi-pronged" efforts, the company has achieved a fundamental transformation in energy management from focusing on results to emphasizing processes, fully demonstrating the efficiency of energy control.
03 Continuous Improvement: Focusing on Both Prevention and Enhancement
On one hand, the company has developed and implemented the Non-conformity and Corrective Action Control Procedures. By utilizing tools such as energy data analysis, it addresses actual or potential non-conformities through corrective and preventive measures. Responsible departments are required to submit *Non-conformity Reports* and conduct follow-up verifications. On the other hand, the company conducts annual internal audits to identify weaknesses, adjusts energy policies, objectives, and assessment criteria accordingly, and fosters an environment that encourages continuous improvement. Additionally, comprehensive evaluations from external reviews help identify areas needing further enhancement.
Obtaining the Energy Management System certification serves as strong evidence of the company's commitment to sustainable development and its fulfillment of social responsibilities. Hangzhou Water Meter will steadfastly pursue high-quality development of new productive forces, deepen its dedication to green and low-carbon practices, promote the growth of a circular economy, and contribute to the building of a Beautiful China!
