AAM 全球总部获得行业最佳能效认证 - ISO 50001

密歇根州底特律，2014 年1 月 24 日 - American Axle & Manufacturing (AAM)今天 宣布 AAM 位于密歇根州底特律 的全球总部已获得 ISO 50001 认证。这是 AAM 首个获得此认证的设施。

ISO 50001 是通过能源管理系统推动能源效率持续改进的最高国际标准认证项目。获得 ISO 50001 认证表明 AAM 已经实施了可持续的能源管理系统，完成了其能源使用的基准，并致力于持续改善能源绩效。目前，美国只有 34 家公司获得认证，其中只有 15 家公司来自汽车行业。

这一成就是 AAM 迈向卓越能效道路上的又一个里程碑。AAM 的全球总部在 2009 年获得了环境保护署 (EPA) 的“能源之星”认证，标志着该公司向能源效率迈出了第一步。截至 2013 年 12 月，该设施的月度能源绩效等级 (EPR) 为 85，这表明它在全国同类节能建筑中排名前 15%。此外，在 获得 ISO 50001 认证之前，AAM 的全球总部在 2013 年获得了美国绿色建筑委员会的能源与环境设计先锋 (LEED) 认证。自 2008 年以来，该设施的能源消耗减少了 26% 以上，每年节省能源成本超过 12.5 万美元。

“除了之前的 LEED 和“能源之星”成就外，获得 ISO 50001 认证也是一种荣誉，展示了 AAM 对环境、精益理念和提高能源效率的承诺。”AAM 董事长、总裁兼 首席执行官 David C. Dauch 表示。“随着我们致力于在业务运营所在的所有社区承担社会和环境责任，AAM 全球总部的认证将成为我们其他设施效仿的榜样。”
