2.5 Senior Leadership Training

2.6 Green Teams
The structure of Energy / Green teams is progressing and will be formalised during the course of 2026. The primary focus is directed towards an ambitious, estate-wide Energy Management program, particularly Boiler Management and fossil fuel reduction. A draft summary of our proposed “Green Teams” charter is included at appendix G.
2.7 Staff Workshops
Staff workshops will continue during the course of 2026 to ensure that the implications of the mandate's specific emissions reduction and energy efficiency improvement targets are disseminated and understood across the organization as well as to ensure that the broader objectives of the mandate are embedded across the organisation.
3 Our Ways of Working
3.1 Energy and Environmental Management Systems and Accreditation.
Based on annual energy spend, City of Dublin ETB has fallen within the terms of section 3.3.1 of the roadmap guidance. To compliment our Green Team and Staff Workshop initiatives, during 2026 we will be working with external consultants to achieve ISO 50001 (Energy Management) certification, an internationally recognised standard that provides a systematic framework for organisations to enhance their energy management practices and improve their energy use.
ISO 50001:2018 Requires Organisations to:
Understand internal and external Issues and the needs and expectations of Interested parties related to energy management
Determine the boundaries, applicability and scope of the energy management system
Demonstrate leadership commitment to energy management
Establish an energy policy, energy objectives and an energy planning process
Develop and conduct an energy review and establish an energy baseline
Identify EnPls (Energy Performance Indicators) appropriate for monitoring and measuring energy performance
Establish & maintain documents required by the standard
Encourage participation of employees in energy management
Demonstrate continual energy performance Improvement
We will also, on a sectoral level, continue to work with ETBI and wider stakeholders, to leverage and strengthen resources to further assist in that task.
