The composition of the Board of Directors was confirmed at six members. No structural changes were introduced. Pekka Kuusniemi, Carita Himberg, Karri Koskela, Hanna Masala, Kalle Reponen and Hanna Sievinen were all re-elected. Continuity has been prioritised. Stability is expected to support long-term strategy.

Audit and sustainability oversight were also addressed. PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy has been reappointed as the company’s auditor. The firm will nominate Markku Launis as the principal auditor. Fees will be paid according to approved invoices.
The same firm has been selected as sustainability reporting assurer. This reflects increasing emphasis on environmental transparency. Markku Launis will also oversee this responsibility. Remuneration will follow the same invoice-based structure.
The Board of Directors has been granted extended authorisations. These include the right to repurchase company shares.
