(1888PressRelease) October 23, 2012 - DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - AESG, a leading energy and sustainability consultancy in the Middle East, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Vincotte, a global leader in management systems, to jointly provide consultancy and implementation services for the new ISO 50001 Standard for Energy Management. The partnership enables the companies to be among the first in the region to offer services for the new ISO standards, with clients benefiting from the combined expertise in both the technical and management systems aspects of energy management.

AESG has seen an increasing environmental awareness in the Middle East and believes the ISO standard will greatly help organizations achieve their sustainability goals. "The ISO 50001 Standard is something we truly believe in, since at its core it is a robust tool for managing energy costs. It provides direct and tangible benefits to companies trying to reduce operational expenses," said Saeed Alabbar, Director at AESG.

"The partnership between AESG and Vincotte was an easy decision for both firms as our organizations are very much aligned in their philosophies of delivering exceptional quality to the Clients. We look forward to working together, not only to assist our clients in reducing their energy bills, but also to bring down the carbon footprint of the region."

ISO 50001 is based on the ISO management system model and is compatible with the ISO 9001 Standard for Quality Management and ISO 14001 Standard for Environmental Management, both of which are already widely followed in the Middle East. It provides a 'Plan-Do-Check-Act' process framework for organizations of all types, be it public sector, governmental, large enterprises, or SME businesses across all industry verticals, to drive down energy consumption and subsequently lower costs. Through adoption of the standard, organizations can stand to significantly reduce their energy consumption.

"Vincotte has long been providing organizations across the globe with the assistance they require to achieve industry standards such as those specified by ISO. The key to our success in the Middle East has been our technical expertise and emphasis on quality of service. AESG has built a name for itself on these same values and we believe that this partnership will help us provide the greatest benefit to our clients," said Wael Kamal, General Manager of Vincotte International Middle East.
