Anbessa City Bus Service Enterprise (Anbessa) is a key public transport operator based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, providing road transport services to a city with over 3.2 million residents. Founded in 1945, the company was nationalised in 1974 and re-established as a public enterprise in 1994.
Summary
Anbessa has scored zero in all five measurement areas and therefore ranks at the bottom of the benchmark, together with other zero-scoring companies. Given its significant scale and influence, Anbessa has the potential to contribute significantly to shaping sustainable urban environments. However, its lack of disclosure on key sustainability topics makes it difficult to understand and evaluate its impact on people and the planet. This lack of transparency makes the company vulnerable to environmental and social risks, diminished investor and stakeholder trust and misalignment with regulatory requirements. Moreover, it places the company at a disadvantage compared to its peers, affecting its overall competitiveness.
To foster transparency and positive change, Anbessa should identify its most significant sustainability risks and opportunities in a materiality assessment and publish a sustainability strategy that integrates these priorities into its overall business strategy. It should also assign clear responsibility for strategy oversight to the highest governing body, such as the board of directors. The company should also develop public policy commitments to respect fundamental human and labour rights. Furthermore, Anbessa should establish measurable, time-bound and, where possible, science-based targets to reduce negative impacts, while regularly reporting progress against its sustainability goals.
