Seoul Metro Corporation

Seoul Metro Corporation, headquartered in Seoul, Republic of Korea, was established in 1970 and merged with the Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation in 2017. The company operates a comprehensive metro network, serving more than 7 million citizens daily and transporting approximately 2.6 billion passengers annually.

Summary

Seoul Metro Corporation performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with clear potential to improve its reporting on a substantial number of sustainability topics. The company provides information on the accessibility of its transport services, including elevators, escalators, wheelchair lifts and electric wheelchair chargers at different subway stations. However, despite its significant scale and influence, the company lacks disclosure on critical sustainability topics, making it difficult to fully assess its impact on people and the environment.

To foster transparency and positive change, Seoul Metro Corporation 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, 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.
