The ISO 50001: 2011 Certification provides an incentive for organizations to use energy efficiently, to conserve resources and to minimize the impact on climate change. ISO 50001 is a voluntary program calling for the establishment of sustainable energy management systems. Starting with an assessment of current sources of electricity supply and use, a plan can be formulated that is monitored by the certification body.  This oversight can result in the improvement of the efficiency and consumption of electricity.  Additional improvement considerations are the installation of mini wind generators and photovoltaic panels on viticulture estates
