Osaka Metro is a municipally owned entity established in 2018 to operate the Osaka Metro network in Japan, previously managed by the Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau. The system encompasses eight lines spanning 129.9 kilometres and serving 123 stations. Osaka Metro provides transportation services within Osaka and adjacent municipalities, including Higashiosaka, Kadoma, Moriguchi, Sakai, Suita and Yao.
Summary
Osaka Metro performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with clear potential to improve its reporting on a substantial number of sustainability topics. The company outlines the various accessibility measures it provides, such as Braille maps, voice guidance and folding slopes for wheelchairs. It also recognizes the importance of personal data protection and has a privacy statement, though it can provide more clarity regarding the applicability of this statement to all stakeholders. Overall, the company’s lack of disclosure on key sustainability topics makes it difficult to fully assess its impact on people and the planet.
To foster transparency and positive change, Osaka Metro 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 its board of directors. The company should also disclose its policy commitments to respect human rights. Furthermore, Osaka Metro should establish measurable, time-bound and, where possible, science-based targets to reduce negative impacts, while regularly reporting progress against its sustainability goals.
