Over the course of 2001, MTR's divisions have been working towards the targets set out in the Corporation's Environment Report 2000. During preparation of this Sustainability Report, detailed information on progress was reviewed and follow-up discussions were held with senior management from each Division to agree the percentage completion for each target. In accordance with the verification methodology, a representative sample of the targets was verified through further information review and working level meetings. During 2001, MTR fully achieved 90% of its 175 environmental targets.

To enable the divisions to track and record their progress on each of their targets, and for overall progress to be monitored at corporate level, MTR has developed the Environmental Target Tracking Tool (ET3), located on the MTR Intranet system. Every quarter, the Divisional Representatives from each division update progress on their targets, with the results being presented to the ECC chaired by the Operations Division Director. This data is then compiled to produce a summary of the percentage of targets in each sector that are on track for completion, in the form of a pie chart and this is presented to the MTRC Executive.

Progress against each of the 2001 divisional targets is presented together with an explanation of why 10% of the targets were not fully achieved during 2001.
