Project Description:
Based on the Mission of “Keeping Tokyo on the Move,” the Tokyo Metro Group promotes various initiatives based on the key sustainability issues (materiality) with the aim of realizing its Vision: Create the Next “Normal” and the Next “Exciting”.
To further stakeholders’ understanding of our strengths, goals, strategies, and initiatives from both financial and non-financial perspectives, we have decided to replace our sustainability report with an integrated report, beginning from FY2026/3.
While incorporating various integrated reporting frameworks and guidelines, this report presents the Group’s value creation process, which is aimed at utilizing the management capital and competitive advantages of the Group to realize its Vision. We also describe the management policies, growth strategies, and governance structure that we have established for medium- to long-term value creation. Further, the report includes the contents of our new Mid-Term Management Plan, “Run! Soar Beyond the Next Generation,” announced in April 2025, and clarifies our management strategies as we enter a new management phase following the listing of our stock.
Going forward, we will use this report to deepen dialogue with our stakeholders and thereby realize sustained enhancement of
corporate value.

Appendix
Facility Efficiency - This includes projects that reduce energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and/or decrease overall environmental impact of transit facilities, including maintenance facilities, transit stations, offices, buildings, etc.
Vehicle Efficiency - This includes projects that reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions of transit vehicles. This may include the use of alternative fuels, as well as improvements in fleet logistics leading to more efficient scheduling and route optimization, and other enhancements.
Renewable Energy - This includes a wide range of renewable technologies, such as solar, wind, geothermal, etc., that provide off-the-grid power generation from renewable sources. While these technologies typically apply to improvements to transit facilities, this could also include vehicle improvements (e.g. solar panels on roof or rail cars, etc.).
Fixed Guideway/Rail - This includes any project that provides a dedicated guideway for (exclusive or shared) operation of transit vehicles. Both rail and bus projects may fall in this category.
Fuel Cell - This includes transit projects involving the conversion of chemical energy from a fuel (typically, hydrogen) into electricity through a chemical reaction with an oxidizing agent (typically, oxygen) and using that energy for vehicle propulsion or stationary uses. This covers both fuel cell vehicles and stationary fuel cell installations.
Transit Oriented Development (TOD) - Projects involving land development strategies that maximize access to public transportation, encourage transit ridership, and enable higher density mixed-use development, leading to reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) - Projects that make use of information and communication technologies to improve transit safety, travel reliability, environmental performance, and network operation resilience, or/and to enable informed travel choices, promote social equity, or provide other transportation benefits.
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) - This includes a variety of public transportation projects involving the provision of highly reliable, fast, and more efficient bus service, compared to ordinary bus line. BRT projects can range from traffic signal prioritization, provided to public transportation vehicles, to dedicated lanes used exclusively by transit buses.
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) - This includes a variety of projects that use innovative transportation strategies and policies to reduce travel demand or to redistribute it in space or time. This may include projects involving various ride-sharing programs, such as carpooling or vanpooling, and policies that redistribute trips away from peak times, as well as congestion pricing, and other capacity management strategies.
Pedestrian/Bicycle and Other Non-motorized Facilities - Projects involving improvements in facilities used for non-motorized transport, leading to higher accessibility and usage of non-motorized modes of transportation. This may include pedestrian sidewalks, bike lanes, and other improvements.
Other Transit Service Enhancements - Projects that do not fit into any of the above categories.
