Metro Istanbul, established in 1988 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, is a public rail transport operator responsible for managing Istanbul's extensive rail systems. These include the Istanbul Metro, Istanbul Tram, aerial tramways and funiculars. The network comprises 11 lines and 158 stations, and serves approximately 831 million passengers per year. Istanbul Metro ranks as the fourth longest metro system in Europe.
Summary
Istanbul Metro performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with clear potential to improve its reporting on a substantial number of sustainability topics. The company discloses its efforts to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities. However, no evidence was found that the company has time-bound targets for achieving universal access to its transport services. Similarly, the company applies the ISO 50001 energy management system across its operations to ensure the efficient use of energy. However, it should also set time-bound targets for increasing energy efficiency.
Istanbul Metro’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, the company 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 assign clear accountability for strategy oversight to the highest governing body, such as the 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.
