AMS Public Transport Holdings Limited (AMS Transport, 00077) has published its Environmental, Social and Governance Report for the year ended 31 March 2026, outlining governance enhancements, stable core emission metrics and a phased pathway toward lower-carbon operations.
Governance and Oversight • Ultimate responsibility for ESG and climate strategy rests with the Board, which reviews risk KPIs semi-annually. • A cross-functional ESG Working Group manages day-to-day data collection, fuel monitoring and compliance; the Chief Executive Officer provides annual assurance on control effectiveness.
Environmental Performance • Fleet mix at 31 March 2026: 299 LPG minibuses (84.0%) and 57 Euro VI diesel units (16.0%). • Fuel use rose on higher mileage: diesel 1.54 million L (+19.9% YoY) and LPG 10.82 million L (+3.5% YoY); gasoline was negligible at 0.02 million L. • Scope 1 greenhouse-gas emissions reached 22,528 tCO₂e (+6.1%), while Scope 2 emissions were 250 tCO₂e. Emission intensity stayed at 609 tCO₂e per million km. • Total energy consumption increased 6.1% to 93,685 MWh; intensity edged down 0.1% to 2,531 MWh per million km. • Hazardous waste fell 4.5% to 41.11 tonnes (1,111 kg per million km), whereas non-hazardous waste rose 22.8% to 93.26 tonnes (2,519 kg per million km). • To curb future emissions, the Group plans a trial of low-floor range-extended electric minibuses and solar-powered depot lighting/CCTV from FY26/27.
Climate Risk Strategy • Qualitative scenario analysis used IPCC SSP1-1.9 and SSP5-8.5 pathways. Key physical risks include typhoons, flooding and extreme heat; principal transition risks stem from fuel price volatility and 2035 EV mandates. • No material near-term asset impairments are expected; primary assets remain mobile vehicles. • Mitigation measures centre on route optimisation, crisis response protocols and staged procurement of alternative-fuel vehicles; funding will come from operating cash flow and potential government subsidies.
Operational Safety and Social Metrics • Accident rate averaged 3.6 per million km (FY25: 3.4); one work-related fatality and 880 lost days were recorded. • Workforce totalled 1,268 employees, 90.1% Hong Kong-based; overall staff turnover declined to 16.6% (FY25: 21.2%). • Training averaged 0.89 hours per employee; safety programmes include independent vehicle inspections and a parking-brake alert pilot.
Supply Chain and Ethics • The Group engaged 94 Hong Kong suppliers, with 85 adhering to its Code of Practice. • Zero concluded corruption cases; targeted anti-corruption training was delivered to administrative staff.
Community Engagement • Donations and sponsorships reached HK$0.40 million, focused on Southern District sports and welfare initiatives. • All Green Minibus routes remained in Hong Kong’s HK$2 Scheme, and interchange concessions were expanded.
AMS Transport continues to target year-on-year reductions in energy and waste intensities while preparing for an eventual transition to lower-emission minibuses as infrastructure and policy frameworks evolve.
