The Role of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors oversees and exercises control over Metsähallitus’ operation. It is responsible for the strategic management and governance of Metsähallitus and the proper organisation of its operations. The Board also ensures that Metsähallitus’ bookkeeping and financial management are organised appropriately and, in particular, that Metsähallitus complies with the decisions and orders of Parliament and other authorities.

If necessary, the Board of Directors issues instructions to the Director General.

The Board is supported by an audit committee as well as an appointments and rewards committee, which assist the Board by preparing its tasks and decisions.
