FAQs

Environmental sustainability audits should be conducted at least annually, with more frequent checks on specific areas like energy consumption and waste management. This allows for timely adjustments to sustainability strategies and tracking of progress towards environmental goals.

Key areas include energy efficiency, renewable energy use, waste management and recycling, water conservation, sustainable procurement, green building practices, air quality management, and biodiversity preservation around the station area.

By identifying areas for improved energy efficiency, water conservation, and waste reduction, this checklist can lead to significant cost savings in utility bills and waste management expenses. It also helps in implementing sustainable practices that often have long-term cost benefits.

The audit should involve environmental managers, facility managers, sustainability consultants, and representatives from various departments such as operations, procurement, and maintenance. Engaging staff at all levels ensures a comprehensive assessment and promotes a culture of sustainability.

This checklist aligns with broader sustainability initiatives by addressing key environmental concerns in the transportation sector, such as energy use, emissions reduction, and resource conservation. It helps train stations contribute to national and global sustainability goals, including carbon neutrality targets and sustainable development objectives.
