Toronto
– The Lincoln Electric Company of Canada has become the fourth Canadian
company to achieve ISO 50001:2011 Certification through UL DQS. ISO 50001
procedures enable Lincoln Electric to better control energy consumption, while
reinforcing its commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability.
Over the past three
years, Lincoln Electric Company of Canada has represented the Canadian manufacturing
industry, along with other manufacturers, in webinars and case studies in order
to encourage other manufacturers in Canada to participate in energy
management.
"In
a world of increased environmental responsibilities, energy conservation must
be at the forefront for businesses striving to achieve operational excellence,"
says Joe Doria, President and CEO, Lincoln Electric Company of Canada. "An
opportunity that may be overlooked is the energy consumed by manufacturers. With
increasing pressures on the 'grid,' we are all forced to look at methods in
which we lower our consumption and increase our efficiencies in energy use."
ISO
50001:2011's seeks to incorporate energy management in the usage, procurement
and conservation of energy. The standard also employs the "Plan – Do-Check-Act"
principles that align well with the DMAIC model currently used in SIX SIGMA
process analysis, which Lincoln Electric Company of Canada has incorporated in its
operations since 2001. This standard has the potential to "pay for itself" in
its implementation, provided there are two key elements in place: employee engagement
and management support.

of Canada attributes its ISO 50001 certification
success to excellent teamwork, hard work and initiative from employees. This latest ISO certification compliments the
company's previous ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certifications.
