West Bengal Transport Corporation (WBTC) is a state-owned entity in West Bengal, India, established to integrate and streamline public transport services. Formed in 2016 through the merger of Calcutta State Transport Corporation (CSTC), Calcutta Tramways Company (CTC) and West Bengal Surface Transport Corporation, WBTC manages a diverse fleet of buses, trams and ferries across the state.
Summary
WBTC has scored zero in all five measurement areas and therefore ranks at the bottom of the benchmark, together with other zero-scoring companies. Given its significant scale and influence, WBTC has the potential to contribute significantly to shaping sustainable urban environments. However, its lack of disclosure on key sustainability topics makes it difficult to understand and evaluate its impact on people and the planet. This lack of transparency makes the company vulnerable to environmental and social risks, diminished investor and stakeholder trust and misalignment with regulatory requirements. Moreover, it places the company at a disadvantage compared to its peers, affecting its overall competitiveness.
To foster transparency and positive change, WBTC should identify its most significant sustainability risks and opportunities in a materiality assessment and publish a sustainability strategy that integrates these priorities into its overall business strategy. It should also assign clear responsibility for strategy oversight to the highest governing body, such as the board of directors. The company should also develop public policy commitments to respect fundamental human and labour rights. Furthermore, WBTC should establish measurable, time-bound and, where possible, science-based targets to reduce negative impacts, while regularly reporting progress against its sustainability goals.
