SCOPE
ERM (Environmental Resources Management) has undertaken an independent
verification of the MTR Corporate Sustainability Report 2001.
ACTIVITIES
We used a similar approach to that used in verifying MTR's Environment
Report 2000. First, we worked directly with MTR to develop the structure
and content of the report but were not involved in the development or
collection of information. Second, we chose a representative sample of
factual statements and numerical data points. Third, we confirmed or otherwise
the accuracy of information by reference to appropriate source material,
reviewing data management systems and interviews with staff at MTR's headquarters.
FINDINGS
The Corporate Sustainability Report 2001 presents a good account of the
main sustainability issues under the control of MTR. Based on the sample,
we are satisfied that the factual statements and data contained in the
report, including progress against 2001 targets, are correct within reasonable
levels of confidence and provide a fair and balanced assessment of performance.
With reference to specific 2001 targets in Chapter 8 [link], verification
is indicated by a 'u'.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend that MTR focuses management attention on the following.
