Metro Receives ISO 14001 Certificate
The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) today received the ISO 14001 certificate for establishing an environmental management system making it the First Metro in the World to receive this certification at the construction stage of the Metro. The Certificate was received by Mr. E. Sreedharan, Managing director, DMRC from Mr. K.T. Ramakrishnan, Managing Director, Registero Italino Navale India (RINA).
ISO 14001 standards have initially been adopted on the Delhi University to ISBT section and the Trinagar to Rithala section of the Delhi Metro Project. The United States-Asia Environment Programme (US-AEP), the New York Mass Rapid Transit System and the Confederation India Industry assisted the DMRC in achieving this certification within 15 months.
The DMRC Corporate Culture already specifies that the Metro construction should not lead to ecological or environmental degradation and for every tree cut during the construction ten trees have been planted in advance by DMRC as compensatory afforestation. In addition Environmental impact assessments are done for every section of the Metro to ensure that the ecological balance is not disturbed by Metro construction activites.
The Metro in Delhi is currently running between Shahdara and Rithala.
