Our Mission In Achieving The Vision Today

MTR is helping deliver this vision today by providing equitable access to affordable, safe, useful, highly energy efficient and reliable transportation. Moreover, as the operator of a railway system in a densely populated city, MTR plays a significant role in reducing the environmental impacts of moving over two million people every day.

At the same time, MTR, in partnership with Hong Kong's most innovative property developers, establishes new communities along the routes of its railway through the development of substantial properties at the sites of its stations. These properties are centred on rail access and are designed, developed and managed in accordance with Hong Kong best practice with regard to planning, building and environmental issues. In this way, MTR aims to maximise the beneficial use of Hong Kong's scarce land resources and provide quality lifestyles for residents via easy rail access to work, education, family and friends, shopping and other recreational pursuits. This has led to more effective integration between its railway and property developments, increased catchment and passenger flows for the railway, and enhanced investment returns.

In property developments, MTR enters into partnerships with reputable developers who bear all development costs, including land premium and construction costs, and therefore all development risks. MTR takes the lead in development planning and supervising construction and shares part of the profits upon completion and sale.

MTR also continues to raise the standard of corporate responsibility in the way it communicates and engages its internal and external stakeholders. MTR delivers optimised and consistent returns, provides staff with fair and competitive rewards and training opportunities, supports community initiatives aligned with its core skills and seeks continually to improve its environmental performance.
