INFLUENCE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ISO 50001 REQUIREMENTS ON PERFORMANCE OF SSCM

The main purpose of the research was to determine to what extent the standardized energy management system according to ISO 50001 influences the improvement of processes implemented in supply chains operating in Poland and Slovakia. The research was based on a online survey. Survey recipients were representatives of the top management of the surveyed organizations. Based on the research and literature analysis, it can be concluded that the standardized energy management system has a positive impact on the improvement of the SCM. The considerations presented in the article should be helpful for enterprises and supply chains, whose representatives of the top management are considering implementing the requirements of the ISO 50001 standard. It is worth noting that the renowned literature on the subject lacks research and studies on the impact of the implementation of the ISO 50001 standard on the functioning of enterprises and supply chains in Eastern Europe. The obtained research results will therefore contribute to the development of the theory as they provide answers to new research questions and should prove useful for both practitioners and theorists.
