In 2016 Metroselskabet (the Client) became a signatory to the UN Global Compact and developed our Corporate 
Social Responsibility (CSR) policy based on the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs); with
a focus the health and safety and working conditions of the people carrying out the construction, the environmental 
impact of the construction and the environmental impact operation of the existing lines. This approach has resulted in 
significant improvements in the safety on the metro construction sites. Following this success, the Client will now be 
focusing on improving other aspects of future metro lines. Using the UNSDGs as a basis, 4 main project objectives 
have been defined with the objective to minimize negative impact and maximising the positive impact of the project. 
∙1) Reduce the use of resources and climate impact. Metroselskabet has an ambition to reduce the carbon footprint 
from future metro lines with 50% compared to the existing metro. ∙2) Improve passenger experience and operational 
robustness. The Copenhagen metro run with a low amount of carbon pr. passenger kilometer, mainly because
it is electrically powered, and many people prefer to use the metro when using public transportation. Operational 
robustness and reliable service is therefore an essential aspect of sustainability. 3)∙ Improve safety and working
environment. Everyone should be able to work without accidents or injuries, both in construction and operations of the 
new metro line. ∙ A contribution to the city: A new metro line should physically meet and connect with the city in a way that creates urban space quality and leave space for increased urban biodiversity.
