This page sets out the objectives of the ATM Group’s Sustainability Policy, defined and monitored using measurable indicators consistent with the business plan and applicable reporting standards.
Sustainability is integrated into the Group’s business model and guides its strategic, operational and investment decisions, with the aim of creating long-term value for the city, people and stakeholders.
Sustainability Strategy and Policy
The ATM Group’s Sustainability Policy sets out guidelines and improvement objectives across the main environmental, social and governance (ESG) areas.
These objectives are structured around six pillars:
- Decarbonising mobility: progressively reduce greenhouse gas emissions and local pollutants associated with transport services through technological advances in the fleet, energy efficiency and lifecycle emissions management (Scopes 1, 2 and 3).
- Responsible consumption: improve the use of water and material resources through efficiency improvements, recovery and measures to maximise their value, with quantitative objectives defined and monitored over time.
- Inclusive mobility: ensure accessible, integrated mobility services, promoting comfort, improving inclusion and encouraging the use of multimodal and digital solutions.
- Great workplace: promote safe, inclusive working conditions, valuing people’s skills, diversity and professional development.
- Responsible supply chain: integrate environmental, social and ethical criteria into procurement and supplier assessment processes, with the aim of progressively improving ESG performance across the supply chain.
- Responsible organisation: integrate ESG factors into decision-making processes and corporate control systems, ensuring transparency, accountability and alignment with regulatory developments.
All objectives are supported by performance indicators and periodic monitoring and reporting activities.
Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The ATM Group has identified the areas in which its activities can make a significant contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, in line with its strategy and operating context.
The priority SDGs were identified by considering their relevance to the business, the impacts generated and stakeholder expectations. This assessment is updated over time as the context and the Group’s activities evolve.
Sustainability objectives (KPIs)
1) Decarbonising Mobility
Objective: progressively reduce the Group’s greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants through fleet improvements, greater energy efficiency and stronger systems for monitoring direct and indirect emissions (Scopes 1, 2 and 3), with improvement targets defined and updated over time.
In 2025, emissions calculations were significantly updated, particularly following the inclusion of the new Greek company Thema, which operates the Thessaloniki metro, within the Group’s reporting boundary. At the same time, a new analysis and calculation methodology was introduced, aligned with the requirements of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), resulting in the recalculation of emissions across all Scopes (1, 2 and 3).
For Scope 3, the analysis was extended to all specified categories, replacing the previous approach, which considered only those deemed most relevant. In addition, approximately 90% of categories moved from a spend-based to an activity-based methodology, increasing the accuracy of the calculations.

6) Responsible governance
Objective: strengthen governance and control systems by integrating ESG factors into decision-making processes, ensuring transparency, data traceability and continuous performance monitoring, including through indicators such as customer satisfaction and corporate reputation.
Customer Satisfaction surveys are a strategic indicator for measuring how satisfied customers are with the services provided. The indicator is based on the average response to the question: “Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10, how satisfied are you with the transport service provided?”. The objective for 2030 is to consistently maintain a score of 7.7 or above.
