The task of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in ensuring that the Company’s financial reporting and accounting principles, the financial statements and other financial information as well as sustainability reporting given by the Company comply with laws and regulations and are transparent, explicit, and clear. The duties of the Audit Committee are, inter alia, monitoring the Group’s financial and financing situation, the Group companies’ financial statements and consolidated financial statements reporting process, the efficiency of the Company’s internal control, internal audit and risk management systems as well as the statutory audit of the Company’s financial statements and consolidated financial statements. The Committee further supervises the Company’s financial reporting process and assesses the independence of the auditor and the non-audit services provided by the auditor and that the Company complies with laws and regulations. The Audit Committee reviews the description of the main features of the internal control and risk management systems pertaining to the financial reporting process included in the Corporate Governance Statement of the Company and prepares the resolution proposal relating to the election of the auditor and the sustainability reporting assurance provider. In addition, the Audit Committee monitors the sustainability reporting process and reviews the sustainability statements published by the Company annually. The Board of Directors may also allocate other duties to the Committee.

The committee consists of three to four members of the Board of Directors. It convenes at regular intervals, at least four times a year before the Company’s interim or half year financial reports and financial statements are published. The Committee Chairperson provides the Board with the proposals made by the Committee. The Company auditor attends the Audit Committee meetings and the Company CFO acts as the secretary to the Committee. In addition, the Company CEO attends the Committee meetings.

Since the Annual General Meeting of 2025, Outi Henriksson has acted as the Chairperson of the Audit Committee and Tomi Ristimäki and Sonja Sarasvuo as members of the Committee. All members of the Committee are independent of the Company.

In the financial period 2025, the Audit Committee held a total of seven meetings, all meetings were Teams meetings. The average attendance rate of Committee members was 100 percent.
