About This Website

We adopt a combined approach to disclose our sustainability management and performance, which consists of the Sustainability Website (the “Website”) and the annual Sustainability Report (the “Report”). The Website and the Report, complementing information available from other publicly accessible information, outline how we integrate sustainability into our business strategies and decision-making processes.

The Website discloses long-standing information, such as our management approach to key sustainability issues. The Reports provide annual updates on our sustainability-related initiatives, performance and achievements, as well as our climate-related and nature-related disclosures.

Chairman's Message

We focus on three environmental and social objectives: Social Inclusion, Advancement and Opportunities, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction, and set 43 key performance indicators for 2024 spanning 10 focus areas. Our dedication to sustainability resonates in our enduring commitment to the railway network. With 45 years of solid experience, I am confident that we can embark on a sustainable journey of growth and prosperity alongside Hong Kong and the communities we serve.

Hearts in Transit!

A small act of kindness can profoundly impact those in need, spreading positivity across the MTR network. Deeply rooted in the community, we actively foster inclusivity and collaborate with partners to serve diverse groups, as shown in these three inspiring stories.

SEN Pathway to Dream Factory! 

Can a small piece of chocolate carry a father's love for his son? It’s also symbolises the first step for SEN (Special Educational Needs) friends in pursuing their dreams! From crafting chocolate flavours, production, and packaging to customer service in the shop, Hello Cocoa’s founder, Louie, also a father, assigns roles based on individuals’ abilities, allowing them to showcase their strengths and gradually integrate into society.

Hello Cocoa is part of MTR’s 'NGO and Social Enterprise Support Programme,' which provides more than 10 NGOs and social enterprises with free station shop rentals and renovation support, enabling disadvantaged groups to build sustainable businesses and achieve their dreams.
