At the board meeting on November 30, the board discussed the draft of Metroselskabet's CSR report for 2018. As a result of joining the UN Global Compact initiative, The Company is obliged to submit an annual report to the UN on its CSR activities.

The Board of Directors also approved the selected CSR focus areas for 2019, which are based on UN Sustainable Development Goal 3 on occupational health and safety and SDG 13 on greening. The focus areas have been selected based on The Company's CSR definition, where the Company commits to making an extra effort that goes beyond legislation, binding regulations and the Company's ordinary activities.

"As a developer of mega projects of great public interest, Metroselskabet has a special obligation to be among the frontrunners when it comes to safety in the construction industry. The Company has therefore launched a comprehensive effort to strengthen the safety culture within the organization and on our projects. The Company will also focus on taking the next targeted steps to reduce its climate footprint in the construction phase, operations and administration," says Chairman of the Board Jørn Neergaard Larsen.

The Board also received a status report on the M3 line, focusing on progress in November, after one of the important milestones in the work towards opening has been reached. Work continues to be targeted and focused on reaching the goal before the start of the full test run. Among other things, staffing for the work of designing the stations has increased again from October to November, while in the coming period there will be increased focus on the complicated testing of trains.
