Introduction. Today, the need to improve energy efficiency of industrial enterprises with an outlook of attracting investments and increasing competitiveness of the industrial sector of Ukraine through the implementation of advanced international practices in this field can be clearly recognised. Energy efficiency management enables enterprises to lower savings in consumer spending, improve the product quality and increase their profitability, while reducing the need for additional investments in development.

However, the ultimate goal of an energy-efficient approach is not only to raise the overall performance levels, but also to achieve significant competitive characteristics that will enhance access to certain markets, to integrate into efficient and inclusive industry value

chains, and ultimately to maintain the sustained economic growth.

For many years Ukraine firmly occupies a leading position in the world ranking of energy intensity of the industrial sector1. In 2014, for Ukraine this indicator was 0.27, while for China - 0.18, for United States - 0.09, for Germany - 0.07 [1]. The unit consumption of steel industry2 in Ukraine is 0.59, while in China this indicator is 0.48, Germany - 0.31, United States - 0.25 [2].

Global energy crisis has created a significant stress in Ukrainian metallurgy, which is the basis of its national economy. Rising energy

The energy intensity of industry is defined as the ratio between the final energy consumption of industry and the value added measured in constant purchasing power parities [3].

The unit consumption of steel industry is calculated as the ratio between the final energy consumption of steel industry and steel output measured in tons [3].

costs and conditions of an ongoing energy deficit accelerated the requirements to reform the production policy in support of the progressive principles of energy management.

The sustainable and responsible development of the production companies must be carried out in an adequate framework, where energy efficiency and safety are essential elements. At the same time, such framework must provide the necessary guarantees to all stakeholders that the company is committed to complying with the high standards of energy efficiently and contributes to this requirement's implementation along the entire production chain.

Taking into account these considerations, the international scientific community offers universal voluntary energy efficiency standards, which were designed to ensure building systemic capacity for industrial energy efficiency as tool to promote sustainable production, markets and market relations.

For the Ukrainian enterprises obtaining competitive advantages through the application of energy efficiency standards is still a new phenomenon, so the potential for reducing energy consumption by the industry in Ukraine remains enormous.

It is worthwhile to note that scientific debates on energy management in the industrial sector have recently increased. Ukrainian scientists investigate the role of energy management and government control of energy-savings in industry (e.g. Y. O. Kostenok [3]), the need for energy efficiency and problems of implementation of energy management system (e.g. K. O. Bratkovska [4]), approaches for the improvement of energy efficiency (e.g. N. V. Par-homenko and O. A. Polozova, [5]), and others.

In context of this research, of particular interest are the last monographic publications in this field, including those on the fundamental principles and systematic processes of maintaining and improving energy efficiency by Craig B. Smith & Kelly E. Parmenter [6], energy efficiency management for the process industries by Alan P. Rossiter & Beth P. Jones [7], interdisciplinary approach to the various barriers with energy efficiency by Pa-trik Thollander & Jenny Palm [8]. Nonetheless,

the capacity of voluntary energy efficiency standards for the formation of competitive advantages in the industrial markets remain relatively uncharted.

Purpose. The purpose of the presented research is to explore the potential of international energy management standards to increase competitiveness of industrial enterprises under conditions of Ukrainian transitional economy. The study had the following objectives: to trace the evolution of fundamental energy efficiency standards; to discuss experience in their use in various countries; to inquire the problem of implementing the ISO 50001 standard in Ukraine; to analyse functions of voluntary energy efficiency standards in the context of formation of competitive advantages.

Methodology. This article presents a historical overview of the standardisation of principles and approaches for the purpose of the energy-efficient management organisation. The research was carried out by studying the international documents, voluntary standards national practices in the field of energy efficiency. The system approach enables to analyse the properties and functions of voluntary energy efficiency standards and to identify their capacity to achieve competitive advantages by Ukrainian industrialists.

Findings. Progress in achieving industrial energy efficiency is one of the most important components of the sustainable development concept, which is directly aimed at realisation of its objectives - a balanced economic growth and social development based on inexhaustible and equitable use of primary natural resources. This approach became the basis for the EU development strategy, which includes not only reduction in global energy intensity but the transition to clean energy and green economy, formation of a new type of markets and value chains, based on the support of energy-efficient tools and techniques.

In Ukraine since independence until recent years the energy sector remained the most vulnerable and the most disturbing element in the pursuit of competitive economy. The fundamental challenges for industrialists are how to decouple the consumption of energy resources from economic growth. In this regard, energy

efficiency programmes for enterprises and regions are primarily concentrated on achieving energy saving - reducing or even partially operating without an energy service to save energy3. Thus, 'energy efficiency gain' is defined as providing the same level of production while reducing the use of energy, or obtaining higher economic benefits from the same energy input [6-8].

At the same time it is important to understand that the objectives of energy efficiency and sustainable development are closely linked. In this regard, the World Energy Council (WEC) framed the energy efficiency concept as the Energy Trilemma, which involves three objectives of a balanced (sustainable) development: energy security, energy equity and environmental sustainability [10]. Such interpretation is steadily gaining weight in international initiatives for energy efficiency management, of which the energy efficiency standards can be highlighted. Today's energy standards may be designed as industry standards (for specific industries)4 or universal /cross-sectoral standards (for all industries)5; both types of energy standards can come in two formats: required (mandatory) and recommended (voluntary) standards.

It should be noted that voluntary application of international standards, such as ISOs and sector specific voluntary standards, is a new phenomenon for post-Soviet states linked to a transition economy. As part of measures on joining the EU space, Ukraine implemented reforms to reduce the abundance of technical regulations in production, management and trade through harmonisation of certification procedures with provisions of EU Directives [14]. Moreover, starting with January 2016 the

For example, in Ukraine the project of the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ) "Energy efficiency in municipalities" focuses mainly on the implementation of energy-saving technologies in the housing and communal services to reduce total energy consumption in municipalities [9].

4For example, the Electric Efficiency Institute (Washington, USA) has developed the integrated codes and standards for energy efficiency management in electric power sphere (2011) [11]. The International Energy Agency (IEA) proposed requirements for certain building codes relating to the new construction (2009) [12].

5These include ISO standards - documents that provide requirements, specifications, guidelines or characteristics that can be used consistently to ensure that materials, products, processes and services are fit for their purpose [13].

technical standards in Ukraine cease to exist as mandatory (i.e. compulsory) standards - the private sector / business will start implementing western standards [15]. Under these conditions it is important to understand the peculiarities of voluntary standards of energy management and the benefits for industrial enterprises.

Studying the best world practices on the enhancement of energy management showed that countries had different approaches to understanding and solving the problem of energy efficiency. For example, Japan has the Energy Conservation Act (1978), which includes multi-sectoral requirements for energy efficiency. Energy management was introduced in the Netherlands within the Voluntary Agreement (VA) programme, not a standard; the programme was established in the late 80's of the previous century as a policy instrument to increase energy efficiency in Netherlands' industry. In some countries, the introduction of ISO 50001 is mandatory for large companies (e.g. in Thailand). The penetration rate of energy management in industrial sector is also very different (see Fig. 1).

*Compcmies representing 20% of energy use haveLTAs and must use the Energy Management System. The most energy intensive companies, representing 70% of the energy use, have a separate, more .stringent, bench marking covenant and are typically ISO 14000 certified, but are not required to use the EM System.

Almost all the national standards rests upon several identical fundamentals - in particular, the concept of continuous improvement (Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle), the existence of energy baseline date, the procedure for developing energy efficiency indicators, etc.

Today, the leading role in the development of international standards belongs to the International energy agency (IEA) and International

Organization for Standardization (ISO). At the G-8 meeting in 2008 these organisations submitted a joint Memorandum ISO/IEA to develop ISO 50001:2011 Standard, Energy management systems - Requirements with guidance for use. The new basic standard is intended for creating and certification of energy management systems (EnMS). The ISO 50001:2011 standard has taken into account the experience of the U.S. standard ANSI/MSE 2000:2005, Korean standard KS A 4000:2007, and other national standards on energy management (see Table 1).

Table 1

National standards for energy management*

It must be stressed that focus on the implementation of the energy management systems has significantly increased after the publication of European energy management standard - EN 16001 in July 2009. In accordance with the rules of the European Union standardisation, the standard was to be adopted as national standards in the EU member states.

Specifications of EN 16001:2009 and ISO 50001:2011 are very similar because both are formed on the basis of the widely used ISO 14001 standard. This not only facilitates the

implementation of new basic standard, but determines its high compatibility with the programs of quality management (ISO 90012000), environmental management (ISO 14001), occupational health and safety management (OHSAS 18001), and allows you to organise an integrated management system of the enterprise. It is very important that the introduction of ISO 50001 has eliminated the inconsistency in relevant national standards and unified energy management in different countries [17].

The adoption of Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU greatly encouraged the certification of large enterprises in the EU. To reach the EU's 20% energy efficiency target by 2020, Directive requires energy audits should be mandatory and regular for large enterprises [18]. This energy audits can be applied through energy audit itself (EN 16247-1), energy management systems (EN ISO 50001) or undertaken in accordance with EMAS, because EMAS-certified companies often already meet all the requirements of an energy management system. Nevertheless, certification according to ISO 50001 by global region is very uneven. (see Fig. 2).

Today, the leader in certification to ISO 50001 is Germany that occupies 52% of the market. That could be explained partially by the focus of national legislation on the issue of sustainable development and energy efficiency, as well as a higher awareness and recognition of the part that strong energy management plays in corporate social responsibility (CSR).

It shall be reminded that in Ukraine the certification to ISO 50001 is only just begin-

ning to develop. In this direction, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade approved the National Standard DSTU ISO 50001:2014 "Energy Saving. Energy Management Systems: Requirements and Application Guidelines (ISO 50001:2011, IDT)", which entered into force in January 2015. At the same time, many industrial companies have already gone on a way of certification on compliance with ISO 50001 (e.g. JSC Ingulets Ore Mining and Processing Plant, PJSC Energomashspetsstal, JSC Zaporizhstal, etc.). The study of the experience made it possible to highlight the preconditions for the expansion of the process, as well as the motivations, difficulties faced and the intended benefits of introducing an EnMS standard.

Economic theory and the best international practices have already proved that voluntary certification of the energy management systems is a tool of market activity. For the purpose of gaining in-depth knowledge about the factors that promote or inhibit the increase in the competitiveness of certified companies, we have interviewed 10 managers of 4 industrial enterprises. Interviews were conducted with the use of laddering method6, including ten open questions. Respondents also had to identify the main factors of success and failure, to assess the strength of their impact and probability of occurrence.

Factors were selected by the assessing the efforts and achievements. The identified factors were divided into four groups, two groups represent external environment - opportunities and threats, and two groups - internal capacity -strengths and weaknesses of enterprises. Twenty of the most significant factors (five factors in each group) are represented in table 2.

We shall dwell on some of these factors. The analysis confirmed that in Ukraine the necessary political and legal environment is being formed. Firstly, under the Action Plan for Implementation of Ukraine-EU Association Agreement and the Ukraine's joining to the Energy Community Treaty, the Government carries out the harmonisation of domestic legal

framework for energy to the acquis communautaire. These actions are supported by a program for implementation of EU Directives in the field, and the road map for compliance with the EU energy efficiency legislation [19].

Sustainable energy value chains perceive the high value for Ukrainian enterprises. However, all managers have noted as a strong threat the lack of measures to enhance energy management.

In this regard, the German market oriented approach is characterised by a variety of instruments and measures at federal, land and municipal level. Germany has the biggest and sophisticated markets of energy services - energy consulting and contracting; a huge variety of services is offered by a plenitude of stakeholders that differ significantly in size and specification and that actively compete with each other. Contracting is one of the most important energy services, its market turnover is estimated well over 2 Billion Euro per year [20].

By implementing the ISO 50001 management system, companies can achieve significant energy savings and gain a real competitive advantage [21].

Also, the strength of the Ukrainian industrialists is certainly the experience in basic standards of management DSTU ISO 9001, DSTU ISO 14001, DSTU OHSAS 18001. As of today, around two thousand certificates for quality management system and environmental management system operate in Ukraine. Such enterprises have already been creating the integrated system of corporate management [13]. Among the factors, that are important drivers for Ukrainian enterprises certified to ISO 50001, can be noted the increase of investment attractiveness due to the reduction of energy and environmental risks with energy supply, consumption limitations and other problems.

Another problem is poor Ukrainian public knowledge and awareness of energy management practices and successful experiences both in Ukraine and in other countries. In this regard it is important to take into account that objectives of energy efficiency and sustainable development cannot be achieved only by the efforts of individual companies, and even coun-

tries or regions. The experience on energy efficiency should be available and distributed easily both in countries with advanced economies and in developing countries.

by of participating universities in the International Workshop "Energy supply and energy saving" (Baku, 21-27 September 2015), which discussed the problems of energy efficiency in Germany, Russia, Ukraine and Azerbaijan. At this forum, the universities have established the Neseff - the international network of universities for energy supply and energy efficiency.

Originality and Practical value. The

study reviewed and analysed the energy management penetration within its dynamics at time and country level. After analysing the statistical data and the results of the interviews, the authors identified 20 key factors affecting the competitiveness of enterprises that are certified to ISO 50001: 2011. All of these factors were divided into four groups, two groups represent external environment - opportunities and threats, and two groups - internal capacity -strengths and weaknesses of enterprises.

The proposed system of factors may be useful for the planning of actions towards strengthening the capacity of energy management systems in the context of the formation competitive advantages on the industrial markets.

Conclusions

1. It is important to understand that the objectives of energy efficiency and sustainable development are closely linked. In this regard, the energy efficiency concept as the Energy Trilemma involves the following objectives: energy security, energy equity and environmental sustainability.

2. The best international practices confirmed that voluntary certification of the energy management systems is a tool of market activity.

3. The main factors of success or failure to achieving competitiveness can be divided into four groups, two groups represent external environment - opportunities and threats, and two groups - internal capacity - strengths and weaknesses of enterprises.
