Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) is a public road transport corporation established in 1997 and headquartered in India. Fully owned by the State Government of Karnataka, BMTC operates a vast fleet of nearly 7,000 buses across Bengaluru.
Summary
BMTC performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with clear potential to improve its reporting on a substantial number of sustainability topics. The company discloses the amount of financial assistance it receives from the government. It has also implemented an intelligent transport system for effective transport management. Further, the company monitors its smoke emissions on a monthly basis and has ISO 14001 certification for four of its depots, though no evidence was found that these standards apply across all its operations.
BMTC’s lack of disclosure on most key sustainability topics makes it difficult to fully assess its impact on people and the planet. To foster transparency and positive change, BMTC should identify its most significant sustainability risks and opportunities through a materiality assessment and publish a sustainability strategy that integrates these priorities into its overall business strategy. It should also assign clear accountability for strategy oversight to the highest governing body, such as its board of directors. The company should also disclose its policy commitments to respect human rights. Furthermore, the company should establish measurable, time-bound and, where possible, science-based targets to reduce negative impacts, while regularly reporting progress against its sustainability goals.
