According to the railway authority, Sealdah Division of ER has displayed great concern about the environmental issues which are related to operation & maintenance of Railway stations. Sealdah Division of ER has developed a proper Environmental Management System (EMS) for operation & maintenance of its Railway stations. An environmental management system helps organizations identify, manage,monitor and control their environmental issues in a “holistic” manner.
Certification of ISO 14001:2015 requires that an organization should consider environmental issues relevant to its
operation like air pollution, water & sewerage issues, waste management, soil contamination, climate change, mitigation &
adaptation and resource use & efficiency. ISO 14001 includes the need for continual improvement of an organisation’s systems and approach to environmental concerns. It is to be mentioned that all these 20 stations have fulfilled such parameters.
