At the meeting, the Board approved Metroselskabet's business strategy for 2023-2026. The business strategy is an important management tool for the Board in relation to achieving ambitions and setting the framework for how The Company works during the strategy period. The strategy is now being finalized and will be submitted to the owners for approval.

The business strategy consists of four closely linked tracks that together enable The Company to fulfill its promise to ensure a Metro that delivers the greatest possible social value with the smallest possible climate footprint. The four tracks contain initiatives in the areas of Customers, Climate footprint, Client role and Safety. As a foundation for the strategy to be fulfilled, the business strategy also includes a focus on developing the organization and the necessary competencies in The Company.

"During the strategy period, it is Metroselskabet's ambition to deliver a Metro that delivers the greatest possible social value with the smallest possible climate footprint. This means that the position must be strengthened and expanded so that the Metro continues to be the most sought-after sustainable mobility option in the capital," says Jørn Neergaard Larsen, Chairman of the Board of Metroselskabet.

At the meeting, the board was also briefed on Metro's passenger numbers and operational stability. In September, 9.8 million passengers traveled with the Metro, corresponding to the current passenger budget for the month. At the same time, operational stability in September was very satisfactory, and the service was generally very stable - also during rush hour. Operational stability in September was 99.7 percent.

The Board was also informed that Metroselskabet is focusing on being able to respond in the best possible way to the current energy situation and any shortages of power supply. The Company's goal is to maintain operations and service to customers as far as possible.

The Board of Directors is concerned that the Metro - after 20 years - continues to run smoothly and that customers have a good experience on the journey. To ensure this, the Board approved the initiation of new prioritized projects for maintenance in the Metro in operation. This is part of the 4-year rolling budget for new investments, which is always decided at the board meeting in October. The budget includes initiatives to meet an expected, increasing need for reinvestment linked to the 20-year plant on lines M1 and M2, improvement activities linked to the new lines M3 and M4, and a general increased focus on reducing CO2 emissions - e.g. through energy optimization.
