TAL successfully completes the external audit on energy management
else: ?>TAL Germany has completed the energy audit for the year 2023. This marks the third energy audit conducted for the company’s sites in the Federal Republic; the company received a positive final report in both 2019 and 2015. “The energy audit is an important part of our energy management verification. We strive to use the required energy as efficiently as possible to make the operation of the pipeline environmentally sustainable,” says Alessio Lilli, General Manager of the TAL Group.
The routine examination process includes inventory and analysis of energy consumption data as well as the development of potential optimization measures, including an economic calculation by an external auditor. By the end of 2023, on-site inspections were conducted at various TAL locations in Germany, and detailed operating data on energy consumption were obtained.
Additionally, TAL duly submitted an online energy audit declaration to the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA). The federal supervisory authority is part of the “Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection” and is responsible, among other things, for verifying compliance with the energy audit obligation under the EDL-G.
The “Act on Energy Services and Other Energy Efficiency Measures” (EDL-G) has mandated an “energy audit” every four years since 2015. Energy audits as well as energy and environmental management systems are key instruments for identifying and implementing energy efficiency measures. These assist companies in reducing their energy consumption and associated costs.
In the future, energy audits will be conducted “in-house”: According to ISO 50001, TAL Germany is already in the process of establishing its own energy management system (EnMS), which will be certified by an external auditing body.
