Established to revolutionize mobility in Denmark’s capital Copenhagen, Metroselskabet have expanded the city’s sustainable and efficient metro and light rail transit construction. The company has integrated green transportation into urban planning to help reach Copenhagen’s goal to become the world’s first carbon-neutral capital by 2025.
The challenge
Faced with mounting challenges in building metro and light rail systems, Metroselskabet recognized the limitations of their outdated risk management tools. As projects grew in size and complexity, the organization struggled to maintain efficiency and meet regulatory demands. Fragmented systems like Excel spreadsheets, email threads, and SharePoint made it increasingly difficult to manually track and verify critical information.
Adding to the complexity, EU-mandated Common Safety Method (CSM) standards required a robust and traceable risk management framework, which their existing tools could not adequately support. With multiple metro lines and a growing portfolio of projects, it was clear their fragmented system lacked the scalability to meet future demands.
The solution
Metroselskabet sought a modern, scalable solution that could unify data, streamline processes, and ensure compliance with CSM standards—one capable of supporting the demands of a high-stakes transportation infrastructure. After evaluating their needs, they turned to TeamMate Risk & Compliance, a platform whose robust features align perfectly with their organizational goals and can scale with them as they expand.
Additionally, the support received during implementation for quantitative risk methodologies ensured full compliance with EU CSM standards, providing regulatory alignment essential to Metroselskabet’s operations. By consolidating all risks, controls, and evidence into a single system, TeamMate Risk & Compliance eliminated inefficiencies caused by scattered tools and provided a more cohesive approach to risk management.
The results
Metroselskabet achieved significant advancements in their risk management processes by leveraging the platform’s capabilities. “It’s simple, efficient, and gives us a quick overview of our risks”, with TeamMate Risk & Compliance the company reduced administrative tasks by 40%, thanks to centralized data storage and streamlined evidence collection processes. This efficiency freed up valuable time for teams to focus on higher-priority tasks, improving overall productivity and effective governance across multiple projects and teams.
