He is supported by the Managing Director— Operations and Mainland Business, the Legal and European BusinessDirector and the Deputy Director – Australian Business.Notwithstanding these subsidiaries and associates are separate legalentities, the Company has implemented a management governanceframework (the “Governance Framework”) to ensure that it exercisesan appropriate level of control and oversight as a shareholder of thesesubsidiaries and associates.In 2016, we undertook a review of the Governance Framework to refine themanagement governance requirements and enhance the implementationprocess, promoting increased collaboration of the corresponding functionsat the Company on the one hand and the subsidiaries and associates onthe other hand.Pursuant to the Governance Framework, the Company exercises its controland oversight through formulation of a governance structure that is tailoredfor individual subsidiaries and associates through adoption of managementpractices and policies that are appropriate to the business nature and localsituation, taking into account of the management governance requirementsof the Company. The governance structures of the subsidiaries andassociates, as a result, will ensure adequate internal controls, consultationwith and notifications to the Company on important matters, andcomplemented by regular reporting and assurance. Compliance with therelevant management practices and governance structure is reported bysubsidiaries and associates with significant operations on an annual basis.Management DirectivesIn order to ensure good corporate governance and management offinancial and reputational risks, we exercise oversight over our subsidiariesand associates. Beyond this, we are committed to promoting best practicesin all areas where we have substantive control or influence.Our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries are mandated to adopta set of management directives relating to internal controls, consultationand reporting: Internal controls — implement appropriate procedures and managementsystems to ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations, aswell as the Company’s specific requirements on safety, enterprise riskand asset management, among other issues. Consultation — headquarters must be consulted on matters relatingto material variation of the concession or franchise agreement,appointment of senior managers, litigation and non-compliance withrelevant laws and regulations, amongst others. Reporting — provide timely reporting on financial, operational and safetyperformance.Operating AgreementsOur subsidiaries and associates participate in various forms ofagreements with local authorities, including Operations & Maintenance(O&M), Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), and Build-Operate-Transfer(BOT) arrangements. Our ability to influence the environmental, socialand governance impacts through the activities of our subsidiaries andassociates is largely determined by the specific terms of these agreementsas well as the local conditions and circumstances.Fair and ethical businessWe promote a culture of fair and ethical business practices. With respect toprevention of bribery and illegal practices, whenever the laws or customsof another country impose stricter standards than our own anti-briberyregime in Hong Kong the higher standard always prevails.142

WEBSITEMENUIntroductionChairman’s MessageCEO ly ChainFinancial and EconomicPerformanceCorporate GovernanceBuilding Our FutureMainland of Chinaand InternationalBusinessIntroductionMTR in Mainland of ChinaMTR in EuropeMTR in AustraliaManagement HighlightsTraditionally a less developed part of the city, Longhua New District isbecoming popular as a residential area due to rising living costs in theCentral Business District (CBD) and good connectivity with the rest of thecity using the Shenzhen metro network. Line 4 is primarily a commuterservice for workers moving in and out of Shenzhen’s CBD at rush hour. Asa consequence, our challenges are mostly associated with the weekdaycustomer travelling pattern and their demography.Conversion from 4- to 6-car Service InitiativeIn 2015 we completed the conversion to 6-car trains to ease congestionduring rush hours. The project was a technical and customer servicesuccess with all trains having been converted safely, ahead of schedule andwith minimal disruption to passengers. The conversion has been pivotal ineasing crowding on board during peak hours.Operational PerformanceIn 2016, MTR (SZ) achieved 99.99% of passenger journeys on time, 99.95%train punctuality and 99.96% train service delivery.We introduced a number of customer service improvement initiatives in2016, such as: Adding 60 train trips per month since June 2016, increasing overallcarrying capacity by some 110,000 passenger journeys per month; Adding 60 train trips per week since October 2016, further increasingoverall carrying capacity by some 500,000 passenger journeys permonth; Shortened train intervals during peak hours, the shortest headway hasbeen reduced to 2.5 minutesOperational Performance for Line 4 (Longhua Line)Service performance Item20152016Passenger Journeys on time99.99%99.99%Train punctuality99.91%99.95%Train reliability19,565,4124,986,119Train service delivery99.95%99.96%revenue carkm/incidentrevenue carkm/incidentInvesting in our stationsMTR (SZ) is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of stationsalong Line 4. We also work together with other operators of the Shenzhenmetro network to ensure smooth management of Line 4 platforms ininterconnecting stations. During 2016, MTR (SZ) continued to invest insustaining a high standard of general appearance and good facilities in allits stations, including signalling system renewal, installation of additionalgate, and improvement to the ticketing system.Commitment to Customer ServiceBuilding on a strong foundation, we continue our efforts in enhancingcustomer service, including installing queuing guides, enhancing signageand the ticketing system, streamlining passengers flow. We have alsoincreased the number of platform assistant during peak hour and providedmore customer service training. To demonstrate our commitment tocustomer service, in 2016, we have reviewed our procedures on now torespond to incidents, including how to provide better assistance and betterinformation to affecter customers.

We have introduced “secret passengers” survey in stations, andin 2016, the survey has been expanded to cover more job roles in stations.All the findings were provided to stations for follow-up, and shared withMTR(SZ) senior managers. The “afternoon tea time” and “transparenttrain” are two new initiatives that open the dialogue between customersand MTR(SZ) representatives. It provides a platform to directly listen to ourcustomers, and drives us to improve continuously.Safety EngagementWe have developed a range of programmes to engage with customersto promote safe and comfortable journeys. We have posters in stationswarning our customers of different risk areas, such as gates, train doorsand staircases. A series of videos on escalator safety is broadcasted instations and on trains. Along with other safety promotion campaigns inthe community and in schools, our “Little Station Master” programme hasbeen upgraded to “Little Professionals”, to educate children on how totravel in safe and courteous manners, and encourage them to share theirlearnings with their friends and family.Safety Performance20152016Passenger Fatalities00Staff Fatalities00Contractor Fatalities00Passenger Injuries(per million passenger journeys)1.111.21Staff Injuries (per 100,000 man hours)0.210.08Contractor Injuries(per 100,000 man hours)0.120.23In collaboration with local government departments and other stakeholdersin the community, we held two emergencies drills in 2016. These drillsrehearsed how to collaborate with other departments including the FireDepartment and the Police, and prepared our staff on train and stationevacuation. It also helped us review the existing procedures and identifyroom for improvements.StaffWe continued our partnership with a Shenzhen-based training institute toprovide internship opportunities for young people. In addition to helping usdevelop a pool of talented young people for recruitment into our business,we hope this initiative will also provide valuable learning opportunities foryoung members of our community.Full-timeEmployees1,358Voluntary StaffTurnoverTraining Days perEmployee11.9%8.9EnvironmentAs the operator of a single line in the Shenzhen metro network, MTR (SZ)has minimal direct impact on the environment. In 2016, in spite of 5.3%passengers increase, we reduced our electricity consumption by 1.2%.This is achieved through various energy-saving initiatives, such as turningoff the standby train air conditioners and standby escalators, switching offstation fans during non-operation hours, etc.Over the past three years, water consumption has increased by 5% withthe rise of the passenger numbers. In 2016, we promoted waste sorting atoffice building. The Environmental Management Committee also organizedsite visit to the waste incineration power plant and relevant lecture to raisegeneral awareness amongst staff.148
