The objective of this paper is analyze the main difficulties in the implementation of ISO 50001, addressing the advantages and possible disadvantages of adhering the standard and also encouraging non-certified companies to update themselves on the subject. As a data collection instrument, two different questionnaires were applied to two organizations located in the central region of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil.

But smaller companies, which have a harder time investing, are searching for ways to practice conscious consumption with basic method applications.
