Interloop gets Re-certified in IS0 50001: 2018 for EnMS

With increasing concern on sustainable manufacturing, Interloop has continued to adopt practices in competing with the global market. In that regard, control of how we use and consume energy plays a vibrant role in conserving the environment. ISO 50001 Energy Management System provides such methodical approach of improving the energy efficiency that works on the model of continual improvement. Back in 2017, Interloop was the 1st textile industry in Pakistan to be certified on this standard, but the journey continues when recently in December 2020, we were able to re-certify ourselves on the latest 2018 version of ISO 50001. In addition to that, IL Power Plant was included in the scope and became the first power plant of Pakistan to certify on Energy Management System. It was a big accomplishment as Power Plants are a major source of fossil fuel burning, and attaining energy efficiency at such a place will ultimately engender positive impacts on the environment.

Appraising the benefits of this standard, our top management decided to include its compliance as personal objectives for the senior staff of Plant 2 and 4. Not restricting to that, it was also advised to formulate a cross-functional team from Plant 1 & Plant 3, and demonstrate them the basic methodologies of ISO 50001.

On Jun 3, 2021, a team of 20 individuals from both the plants were given a brief introductory presentation on ISO 50001 Energy Management System by Section In-Charge Energy Cell. President Hosiery also graced the session with his presence and gave insightful feedback on sustainable manufacturing. The content of the presentation includes basic terminologies of how the systematic approach of this standard helps in attaining continual energy performance improvement. These cross-functional teams, in collaboration with Energy Cell will now implement ISO 50001 standard in their respective Plants.
