omistajaohjauksessa

Omistajaohjauksessa, often translated as "owner control" or "management by owner," refers to a Finnish corporate governance concept where the state, as the primary owner of certain companies, exercises its ownership rights through the Prime Minister's Office. This approach aims to ensure that state-owned enterprises operate efficiently and in line with national strategic goals. The Prime Minister's Office is responsible for overseeing the companies and preparing matters related to state ownership.

The core of omistajaohjauksessa involves defining clear objectives and performance indicators for the companies. This includes setting expectations for profitability, responsible business practices, and the fulfillment of any public service obligations. The state, acting as an owner, expects the companies to be managed professionally, with sound financial management and a focus on long-term value creation.

Key aspects of omistajaohjauksessa include appointing qualified board members who are independent and possess the necessary expertise to govern the companies effectively. The Prime Minister's Office also plays a role in shaping the strategic direction of these companies and ensuring that their activities align with the government's broader economic and social policies. This governance model seeks to balance commercial objectives with public interest, ensuring that state-owned enterprises contribute positively to the Finnish economy and society.
