The certificates were given to JUSCO by Atul Kumar, principal surveyor, IRQS, at a function in Jamshedpur. With this, JUSCO continues to maintain the position as the only civic services provider in the company to be ISO 14001 certified for environment management system for all its services. Along with this certification, JUSCO's five other units, that is, public health and horticulture services, power services, water and waste water management, integrated customer services and planning, engineering and construction, were certified to ISO 9001:2000 (QMS) standards.

JUSCO, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Steel, was formed on April 1 2004, with the main objective of improving the quality of services provided in Jamshedpur and to corporatise the pioneering effort of providing civic and allied services in the country. JUSCO, which is a part of the Tata Group that values environment management, has upheld them by following and implementing environmental management policies and programmes in all its operations. The company has made an environmental policy, which has been communicated and cascaded, to all its stakeholders. It also ensures that all regulatory norms are not only complied with but also exceeded beyond the expectations of its stakeholders. In its journey of little over a year, JUSCO has received many awards like J N Tata Commendation Certificate for Commitment to Business Excellence, CRISIL Award for Excellence in Municipal Initiatives 2004-05 for "Excellence in improving service delivery through corporatisation", etc.

A N Singh, Chairman, JUSCO and chief guest at the function also congratulated the entire team of JUSCO for having achieved this certification again and as a separate entity of Tata Steel.
