Ville Iho, President and CEO: 
Continued strong  
demand, profit  
improvement actions  
launched to address the 
weakened profitability

The demand for health services continued to be very 
strong in 2022. However, the sales mix was more strongly 
focused on appointments and lower-margin care chains 
than the previous year, weakening profitability in addition 
to inflationary pressures. 

The volumes of Covid-19 testing fell sharply from the second quarter of 
the year as the pandemic took a back seat. The share of diagnostics visits 
excluding COVID testing increased gradually but was clearly below the 
pre-pandemic level of 2019. Surgical operations and digital services, which 
were in strong demand throughout the year, continued to grow. Overall, the 
revenue increased by 9% year-on-year to 1,259 million euros. Our business 
in Sweden accounted for about half of this growth.

We were very successful in recruiting, especially 

towards the end of the year, and our service offering was  
clearly strengthened not only in terms of digital appoint-
ments but also in terms of appointments at the clinics. 
However, the clear improvement was not enough to 
compensate for negative earnings drivers, inflationary 
pressures, and the dilution of the sales mix, and profita- 
bility clearly fell short of the targets. Adjusted EBITA for 
2022 fell by 25.4% to 105.2 million euros, representing 
8.4% of revenue. Earnings per share were EUR 0.19.

The measures aimed at  
strengthening profitability  
are moving ahead as planned 

In connection with the third quarter results, we commu-
nicated three sets of measures we are taking to react to 
the change in the operating environment and the reduced 
profitability: the profit improvement program, a change 
in the operating model, and the independent profitability 
improvement measures of the portfolio businesses. The 
two-year profit improvement program focused on our 
core business started as planned, and we are confident 
that we will achieve our goal of an annual run-rate profit 
improvement of EUR 50 million by 2024, most of which 
is estimated to be achieved already in 2023. Our renewed 
management model, based on a clearer division of the 
core business, portfolio business, and Swedish business, 
has brought clarity to profit drivers and speed to deci-
sion-making. The portfolio business programs have also 
started as planned.

6

Our Swedish business developed as expected in 2022. 
Revenue grew organically and through acquisitions, and 
profitability strengthened compared to the reference 
period. We see growth potential and opportunities for 
value creation in Sweden in the medium term. 

Our financial position is strong, and we are confident 
about the future. Our goal is to significantly improve the 
total return for shareholders in the coming years. The 
board proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the 
dividend remains at the 2021 level of 0.28 euros.

Focus on core business  
and organic growth 

Our business grew rapidly in 2022, and the conditions for 
growth in health care services will continue to be good. 
Demand is strong, and the utilization rate of total capacity 
is high, despite the dip in consumer confidence and the 
uncertain market environment. Poor access to treatment 
in public healthcare increases the demand for privately 
provided services, especially through voluntary health 
insurance. The situation in the public market is predictably 
quiet after the reform, and there are few new tenders. 
We expect the market to pick up in the second half of the 
year after the start-up phase of the well-being services 
counties.

Our financial targets and strategy remain unchanged; in 
our core business, we aim for industry-leading profitability, 
and we want to keep our spot as the preferred choice for 
customers and professionals. Portfolio businesses aim at 
independent value creation, and in Sweden, we aim for 
significant and profitable growth in the medium term. Due 
to the changed operating environment, our primary focus 
is on the core business and organic growth, and we are 
clearly more selective in M&A in both of our home mar-
kets, Finland, and Sweden.

We promote health and well-being

Our customer satisfaction is very strong, and we have 
maintained our position as the preferred employer among 
industry professionals. The clinical quality of our services 
is excellent, and our work to develop the effectiveness of 
treatment is particularly strongly reflected in the results 
of our investment areas, such as mental well-being, and 
in the results of treatment paths for the musculoskeletal 
system. In the business built around the musculoskeletal 
system, the number of customers has grown strongly 
during the year, and the number of referrals from 
insurance companies has increased thanks to the fast 
access to care and excellent treatment results based on 
multi-professional treatment paths.  In terms of mental 
well-being, Terveystalo has long been a pioneer in building 
low-threshold services for companies, and our extensive 
data shows that the services radically reduce sickness 
absences related to mental health.  Our mission is to fight 
for a healthier life. We want to keep our client companies 
moving and we will continue to invest in the effectiveness 
and high-quality of care pathways.

Towards better,
Ville Iho

Highlights in 2022

Accelerating the implementation of Terveystalo’s  
strategy with a change in the operating model  
and a two-year profit improvement program 

In October 2022, Terveystalo launched a profit improvement program to speed  
up the achievement of strategic and financial goals. The program aims for an  
inflation-adjusted, annualized run-rate EBITA improvement of at least 50 million  
euros by the end of 2024. Most of the targeted benefits are estimated to be  
realized already in 2023. To strengthen long-term value creation, focus on high  
medical quality, and the execution of the program, Terveystalo has changed its  
operating model and organizational structure.  The new organization consists  
of three business areas: Healthcare Services, Portfolio Businesses and Sweden.     

Terveystalo is number one  
for healthcare professionals

Terveystalo is the most interesting workplace in the health-care 
sector. Terveystalo has been investing in modern management 
and strong work communities for years. More than 1,500 health 
and pharmaceutical professionals chose Terveystalo as the most 
interesting workplace in the health service sector. Terveystalo has 
held the top position in the sector since 2020. The data is based 
on the annual employer image survey conducted by Universum, 
which evaluated nearly 60 operators from the public sector,  
private health service companies and pharmaceutical companies.

Terveystalo’s new digital platform tailored for  
the public sector enables remote appointments  
in the well-being services counties 

Terveystalo has developed a digital platform for the public sector to meet 
the needs and challenges of the well-being services counties. The patient 
can manage their own appointments, have a remote appointment and 
continue self-care using the health coaching and information packages 
provided by the platform, all in one place.  Remote appointments are an 
easy and modern way for the customer to seek help in health issues. In 
addition, they enable easy access to professionals in locations where it 
is otherwise challenging. By utilizing telemedicine and digital solutions, 
well-being services counties can direct to local clinics only those patients 
who would benefit from it, which helps dismantle the care queues.

The Swedish business  
developed according to plans

With leading occupational health processes, services and digital tools, 
Terveystalo is the market leader in occupational health in the Nordic  
region. Our business in Sweden developed in 2022 according to our 
plans and revenue increased by 151%. We made two acquisitions in  
occupational health and expanded our operations beyond occupational 
health by buying Nämndemansgården, which specializes in addiction 
treatment. Our goal is to grow in the Swedish occupational health  
market both organically and through additional acquisitions. We also 
see the potential to expand the range of services in the Swedish  
market towards more integrated care chains.

Trends influencing healthcare

The demand for healthcare services is increasing, among 
other things, due to the ageing population and growth in 
chronic diseases. At the same time, healthcare systems 
around the world face shortages of competent professio-
nals. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased 
treatment backlogs. Digital services drive the renewal of 

health care and bring new solutions, but they also create 
new customer expectations. Increasing awareness of 
personal health and the overall trend towards healthier 
lifestyles make people more willing to increase spending 
on preventive care and well-being services.  

Digitalization of 
healthcare

Ageing of the 
population 

Growth in lifestyle 
diseases

Shortage of health 
care professionals

Consumerization 
of healthcare

 The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated 
the digitalization of health care.
 Customers expect better service  
quality, availability, convenience  
and personalization. 
 Utilizing digitalization broadly enables 
faster provision of services, promotes 
innovation and helps control the  
growth of costs. 
 Digitalization enables more efficient  
use of limited health care resources.
 Access to care and the smoothness  
of service are improved.

 The Finnish population is ageing at the 
second-highest rate in the world and 
this trend is expected to continue in  
the coming decades. The same trend  
is also seen in Sweden. 
 The higher proportion of elderly people 
in the population presents a variety of 
challenges to health care, and the only 
way to respond to these challenges is 
through new and innovative solutions.
 Smooth cooperation and division of 
duties between the public and private 
sectors are preconditions for main-
taining and developing the functional 
capacity, quality and availability of  
health care.

 As many as 50 percent of working-age 
Finns have, or are at risk of developing, 
a lifestyle disease. 
 Obesity, diabetes, hypertension, sleep 
disorders, substance abuse, back 
problems and mental health challenges 
reduce work ability and lead to sickness 
absences.
 Lifestyle diseases increase the demand 
for health care services and emphasize 
the significance of preventive health 
care and early intervention.
 Need for cost-effective solutions for 
managing population health is growing. 
 There will be a shift from paying for use 
towards partially subscription-based 
services that support lifelong health.

 There is a global shortage of health care  
professionals. 
 The social welfare and health care sector  
in Finland is predicted to need as many as  
200,000 new professionals over the next 15 
years to replace retiring employees and res- 
pond to the growing demand for services. 
 The industry faces a twofold challenge of not 
only attracting but also retaining professionals. 
 Recruitment problems have become worse 
and the competition for skilled professionals 
continues to intensify – creating an attractive 
workplace is of critical importance.
 The role of nurses and other health care  
professionals is growing.
 Digitalization and remote services make it  
possible to relieve the shortage of skilled  
professionals and balance out regional  
differences in access to care.

 Interest in holistic health and well- 
being as well as related data and

 Individuals are more aware of their 
health and are asserting more  
influence over their medical care.
 Nutrition trends, meditation, yoga and 
exercise are growing in popularity.

Terveystalo's addressable markets

Terveystalo operates in Finland in 
occupational health, primary health  
care, specialty care and well-being 
services. In 2021, Terveystalo expanded 
into occupational health in Sweden  
with the acquisition of Feelgood, one  
of Sweden's leading occupational  
health companies. 

Terveystalo's addressable 
market in Finland 
In Finland, the total cost of health care is estimated at 
around EUR 15 billion. About 75 percent is publicly funded 
and provided. Privately provided health care accounts for 
just over a quarter, which includes publicly funded and 
privately provided (6 percent) and privately provided and 
funded (20 percent) health care. The privately provided 
market relevant to Terveystalo, approximately EUR 4.3 
billion, includes primary health care, dental care, specialty 
care, occupational health care and child welfare services. 
Terveystalo's share of this entire market is about 25–30 
percent.

Finland has a unique occupational health system that 
covers 1.9 million Finns. Occupational health is associated 
with a statutory pension system. The system encourages 
employers to invest in occupational health to bring down 

9

pension costs. This has effects on public health as well 
as the total cost of health care. According to studies, 
companies that systematically invest in work ability mana-
gement benefit manifold. One invested euro returns six 
euros as a result of lower sickness absence and pension 
costs. Terveystalo provides occupational health services in 
Finland to over 27,000 companies and to a total of appro-
ximately 670,000 people through its corporate customers.
Between 2016 and 2021, Terveystalo's target market 
has grown by approximately 1.7 percent per year (CAGR).

growth in 2019–2020, but healthcare market growth 
returned to positive in 2022. The rapid ageing of the popu-
lation, the accumulated care debt during the pandemic, 
and the high incidence of lifestyle illnesses will increase 
the need for healthcare in the coming years.

Terveystalo's addressable 
market in Sweden
In Sweden the total cost of health care is estimated at 
around EUR 30 billion. About 73 percent is publicly funded 
and provided.  Privately provided health care accounts for 
around EUR 7 billion, which includes publicly funded and 
privately provided (19 percent of total healthcare market) 
and privately provided and funded (5 percent) health care. 
In Sweden, the privately produced and financed market 
consists largely of oral health services that are not offered 
by the public sector for people over 23 years, as well as 
employer-financed occupational health care. The private 
healthcare market in Sweden is quite fragmented; the 
combined market share of the ten largest players is around 
36 percent. Market growth has historically been faster 
than the Finnish market. 

The ageing of the population, lifestyle diseases, leng-
thened care queues in the public sector, growing aware-
ness of health and well-being, and the increase in volun-
tary health insurance are driving the growth of the private 
healthcare market also in Sweden. 

Terveystalo’s subsidiary Feelgood, which operates in 
Sweden, offers services in occupational health and, inclu-

ding; risk assessments, ergonomics and physiotherapy, 
organization and leadership, and harmful use. In addition, 
the company provides private health care and well-being 
services to its occupational care customers´employees 
and their families through the digital service Feelgood Plus. 
The Swedish occupational health market is stable and 
has a size of around 0.4 billion euros. Feelgood is Sweden's 
third largest provider of occupational health services 
with a market share of around 19 percent. The Swedish 
occupational health system includes fewer services requi-
red by law than the Finnish system. Occupational health 
and private health services are also in different systems. 
However, employers are interested in offering more 
extensive occupational healthcare in order to reduce sick 
leave and extend working careers. Terveystalo's subsidiary 
Feelgood serves approximately 8,300 corporate customers 
in Sweden, with a total of approximately 1.2 million occu-
pational health end-customers.

Operating environment 2022
Terveystalo’s target markets 

Demand for health services was strong in Terveystalo’s 
target markets throughout the year. Nevertheless, the 
growth was tempered by the lack of supply, which was also 
impacted by higher sickness absences compared to the 
comparison period. In Finland, the demand was more focu-
sed on short care pathways. The demand for diagnostics and 
other services related to COVID-19 decreased significantly 
from the comparison period due to a decline in COVID 

10

testing. In Sweden, the demand for occupational health 
services and particularly for consultation for organizational 
management and harmful use was growing. The growth of 
demand for digital services and remote appointments con-
tinued to be strong. The demand for mental health services 
and preventive well-being services continued to grow. 
       A tight labour market and high inflation create growing 
pressure on operating costs, including wages. The emp-
loyment situation is strong, but significant changes can 
affect the demand for occupational health services. The 
long-term growth prospects are good for Terveystalo’s 
addressable markets in Finland and Sweden; the under-
lying demand is strong, and we are well-positioned to drive 
growth going forward, supported by our strong market 
position and reputation among industry professionals of 
being a preferred employer.

The impacts of inflation 

High inflation can be seen as upward pressure on prices in 
all procurement categories, and Terveystalo has actively 
negotiated with its suppliers to limit the impact of inflation 
on costs. The rising price of electricity has a negative im-
pact on operational costs. Due to component shortages, 
delivery times have become longer in certain categories  
of products and materials, such as healthcare equipment. 
       Skill shortages, a tight labour market, and high infla-
tion put pressure also on wages. The private healthcare 
sector concluded a two-year, moderate salary agreement 
for the period 1 May 2022 to 30 April 2024. The first wage 
increase of 2.0% took effect on 1 October, 2022. The wage 
increases in 2023 will be decided according to the wage 
increases in the reference sectors and the salary increase 
is at least 1.9%.  
       Commercial initiatives have been and will be under-
taken to mitigate the effect of inflation as a part of Terve-
ystalo’s profit improvement program. The effects will be 
visible in stages from the fourth quarter of 2022 onwards. 

The treatment queues, social and  
healthcare reform, and changes in  
the regulation 

The contraction of non-urgent care in the private and 
public healthcare sectors during COVID-19 restrictions has 
resulted in a significant treatment gap in other illnesses. 
According to the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare

(THL), over 150,000 patients were waiting for access to 
non-urgent specialized care at the end of August 2022. Of 
those waiting for treatment, over 20,000 (9,500) had been 
waiting for more than six months. The average waiting 
time for non-urgent care was 65 days in August 2022. The 
treatment queues continued to lengthen also in Sweden. 
In November 2022, close to 150,000 people in Sweden 
were waiting for surgery or a procedure (www.skr.se).

Under the social and healthcare reform, the responsi-
bility for the organization of social and healthcare services 
will be transferred to the 21 well-being services counties 
and the City of Helsinki. The well-being services county 
councils, elected in January 2022, will decide on the well-
being services county and service strategies, the principles 
of the service network, the service level of emergency 
services, the budget and financial planning of the well-
being services county, and the appointment of members 
to governing bodies. The term of office of the county 
council is four years, commencing on March 1, 2022. In 
2022, the new well-being services county councils have 
focused on administrative organization. Decisions on new 
material service procurements from the private sector are 
expected in the first half of 2023 at the earliest.

As a result of the social welfare and healthcare reform, 
some of Terveystalo’s outsourcing agreements for public 
services will need to be renegotiated so that the new cont-
ractual terms will enter into force at the beginning of 2026 
at the latest. Furthermore, there will be restrictions on the 
subcontracting practices for public services produced as 
outsourced services, but these are not expected to have a 

11

significant impact on Terveystalo. The dismantling of the 
queues for non-urgent care in the public sector will require 
more extensive use of private healthcare services in the 
aftercare of the pandemic.

Cuts to Kela reimbursements for private healthcare 
took effect on 1 January 2023. The changes are estimated 
to impact the demand for general practitioners' and gyne-
cologists’ appointments and imaging services. As consu-
mers' general purchasing power weakens, the changes can 
also affect the use of other services. Cutting Kela reimbur-
sements from private healthcare will most likely lengthen 
the queues in public healthcare, make it more difficult to 
dismantle long treatment queues, increase the costs of 
the public sector, and make the work of newly established 
well-being services counties more difficult. 

The impacts of the war in Ukraine 

The indirect impacts of the war in Ukraine on Terveystalo 
are assessed to be minimal, as Terveystalo does not have 
business operations in, or with, countries that are subject to 
sanctions. Indirect impacts arise from supply chain disrupti-
ons, high inflation, and potential disruptions in the financial 
markets. The indirect economic impacts are already visible 
in weakened consumer confidence and purchasing power. 
The impacts may also have a delayed economic impact 
through declining employment, which could nega- 
tively impact the demand for Terveystalo’s services.

Terveystalo’s strategy

Our purpose is to fight for a healthier 
life. Our vision is to create a world with 
fewer sick days and more healthy, 
happy years.

To realize our mission and vision and to support our success, 
our strategy sets out two key targets for 2021–2025: 

• 

• 

 To be the most profitable private health  
care operator in the Nordic countries 
  To be the preferred choice of customers  
and professionals 

Expansion in well-being services and strategic, comple-
mentary acquisitions are also key aspects of Terveystalo’s 
growth strategy.

To achieve these targets, we have defined strategic 

focus areas that will take us towards our strategic  
objectives.

The smart platform
Our services are the most conveniently available to  
customers. We provide the right service regardless  
of time, place, and channel, from the beginning to  
the end of the care path.

The demand for novel health services, pricing models 

and operative models is growing, while the scarcity of 
health care professionals is increasing the need for more 
intelligent use of competence. 

We are developing an intelligent service platform that 
will drive growth, profitability, customer satisfaction and 
retention. By having the smartest platform in the industry, 
we can provide our customers with the right service 
regardless of time, place, and channel, from the beginning 
to the end of the care path. The optimization of customer 
guidance and the personalization of services enable us to 
not only make more efficient use of our resources but also 
improve access to care, clinical quality, the impact of our 
services and, consequently, customer satisfaction. The 
smart service platform supports the management of the 
customer’s entire care path, which is always built using 
industry-leading care protocols to make it as smooth and 
impactful as possible. 

Health partner
We anticipate customer needs, create services that  
support holistic well-being, look after our customers  
and actively strengthen our relationship with them.

In addition to treating illnesses, we want to create 
health partnerships with our customers and to keep in 
touch, anticipate customer needs and provide holistic 
well-being services. We use digital solutions to make the 
use of our services convenient and attractive, to increase 
customer retention and to provide a platform for con-
tinuous health partnerships and personalized services. 
The Terveystalo mobile application already has over 1.2 
million users and our goal is to be a health partner for a 
million people in the Nordic region. We are also adding 
new low-threshold well-being services to our offering and 
developing services that suit the various life stages of our 
customers. 

Expansion to new markets
We will achieve growth in the Nordic region and in  
digital services.

Terveystalo is the largest private health care provider in 
Finland and the clear market leader in occupational health 
in the Nordic region. Our growth potential in our domestic 

market is starting to be limited, which is why we are now 
looking at new markets. 

The Nordic region is a natural choice for our interna-
tional expansion. The acquisition of Feelgood has given 
us access to the growing Swedish health market through 
the locally leading occupational health care provider. 
Our goal is to grow in the Swedish occupational health 
market both organically and through additional acquisi-
tions. In the longer term, we see potential not only in the 
good growth opportunities in the Swedish occupational 
health market but also in expanding the range of services 
in Sweden towards more integrated care chains. Our 
business in Sweden developed in 2022 according to our 
plans and revenue increased by 151 percent. We made 
two acquisitions in occupational health and expanded 
our operations beyond occupational health by acquiring 
Nämndemansgården, which specializes in addiction treat-
ment.

Terveystalo is a pioneer in the digitalization of health 

care. We have world-class expertise in digital tools for 
customers and professionals and we have made long-term 
investments in their development. Terveystalo is in a good 
position to also leverage these competencies in other 
markets and thereby create significant added value for 
various stakeholders.

A change in the operating 
model and profit improve-
ment program
In October 2022, Terveystalo launched a two-year profit 
improvement program to speed up the achievement of 
strategic and financial goals. The program aims for an infla-
tion adjusted, annualized run-rate EBITA improvement of at 
least 50 million euros by the end of 2024. Most of the tar-
geted benefits are estimated to be realized already in 2023.

”

Accelerating the 
implementation  
of Terveystalo’s  
strategy with a 
change in the  
operating model  
and a two-year  
profit improvement 
program. 

The measures of the program focus on hard cost 

savings, commercial and productivity-improving measures 
to increase revenue, as well as strategic development 
measures to increase supply and strengthen  
the sales margins.

The change in the operating model was one of the 
first concrete steps of the program. The changes made 
clarified roles and responsibilities and strengthened the 
independent, efficient management of separate busines-
ses and the implementation of intact care pathways and 
high-quality care. The new organization consists of three 
business areas: Healthcare Services, Portfolio Businesses 
and Sweden.

Healthcare Services is fully responsible for all the ser-
vices we produce in our clinical network for all customer 
groups. In Healthcare Services, Terveystalo targets high 
profitability and growth exceeding the market growth.

Portfolio Businesses are responsible for separate busi-
nesses with the aim of strengthening their independent 
development, management and value creation. Portfolio 
Businesses include oral health, public outsourcing, staffing 
services, child welfare, public digital health, massage busi-
ness, rehabilitation services and interpretation services.
     In Sweden, Terveystalo is looking for strong, profitable 
growth in the medium term.

The new operating model enables the efficiency of the core  
business and independence of the Portfolio business

1)  Between 2023 and 2030, we will compensate for any remaining greenhouse gas emissions by investing in certified carbon dioxide emission compensation projects. Our aim is to eventually discontinue compensation measures and to achieve zero emissions in our own operations by 2030.  
In 2022 emissions were not compensated due to cost savings. The calculation of Scope 2 emissions is market-based. The exceptional electricity market disturbances forced Terveystalo to change its electricity supplier in the middle of the year, and because of the high market price of electricity,  
no green electricity was purchased for the rest of the year. The calculation of the market-based figure is based on the emission factor of the electricity purchased by Terveystalo in Finland, while the location-based figure is calculated according to a factor based on the source distribution of local 
energy production. The amount of green electricity from the electricity purchased in Sweden has been calculated according to the average share of green electricity in the Swedish market, since supplier-specific information is not available. The energy consumption and carbon footprint figures  
for 2022 also include operations in Sweden. Comparison years only include Finland.

Terveystalo contributes to the achievement 
of sustainable development goals

We have analyzed our operations and 
business strategy in relation to the 
UN Sustainable Development Goals 
(SDGs) by considering our positive and 
negative impacts. From among the  
17 goals and 169 targets, we selected 
and prioritized the ones that are most  
essential for us and we commit to 
promoting in our operations. We 
actively promote eight sustainable 
development goals.

24

This is our most important sustainable develop-
ment goal. We have a significant opportunity to 
contribute to people’s health and holistic well- 
being. In ensuring comprehensive health care,  
we have a positive impact larger than our size. 
Possible negative effects may be due to, for ex-
ample, excessive or unnecessary prescription of 
drugs. We systematically aim to reduce this kind  
of practice through our clinical quality efforts. 

+

We have plenty of direct positive effects on this 
goal through, for example, economic growth, 
innovations that improve profitability and job 
creation. We are a strong enabler as a provider  
of occupational health services that maintain  
and improve the work ability of our customers. 
Our growth improves people’s well-being with- 
out risking natural resources.

Health care is an essential part of infrastructure. 
We have invested in the development of the  
quality and effectiveness of the care we provide, 
as well as innovations that improve the availability 
of care. Our biobank supports scientific research.

We produce health care services cost-effectively 
in close cooperation with the public sector. Public 
partnerships represent one third of our business.

We uphold the principles of transparency, justice 
and good governance. As a member, we have 
committed to promoting the principles of the  
UN Global Compact initiative. We accomplish this 
with the help of our Code of Conduct and training.

We train our professionals and engage in research 
and education cooperation with several univer-
sities. Our trainee programs also promote youth 
employment.

 Read more on p.  46

We transparently report on our climate impacts. 
We are committed to the targets agreed upon in 
international climate summits for the mitigation 
of climate change. We reduce the emissions aris-
ing from our operations by increasingly shifting 
to green electricity and preferring vehicles with 
low emissions. We promote the conservation 
and sustainable use of natural resources in our 
supply chains by reducing plastic consumption, 
recycling, increasing the efficiency of material 
management and reducing the number of small 
orders. Promoting the use of digital health ser-
vices in society helps to reduce emissions from 
unnecessary travel.

Materiality analysis as the foundation 
of our sustainability efforts

We have defined our material aspects of 
sustainability in collaboration with the 
representatives of our key stakeholders. 
The materiality analysis we conducted 
in 2019 serves as the foundation of 
our sustainability efforts, sustainabilty 
communications and their development.

In 2023, we will conduct a new materiality analysis, which 
corresponds to the new GRI standards and the EU's sustai-
nability reporting directive.

Based on our materiality analysis, we also analyzed in 
detail the views of ESG investors regarding various aspects 
of sustainability. As part of the background work for the 
materiality analysis, we surveyed the global leaders of our 
industry. To identify Terveystalo’s sustainability priorities, 
we arranged a workshop with our selected experts. After 
the workshop, we reinforced the results by conducting a 
survey targeted at our experts, which was then used as the 
basis for an online survey of stakeholders. Terveystalo’s 
employees and private practitioners were particularly well 
represented in the survey. Other stakeholders represented 
in the survey included our shareholders, investors, the 
media, and industry organizations. In addition to the online 
survey, we interviewed the representatives of our key stake-

31

holders. The order of priority of our material themes  
of sustainability was largely the same regardless of the  
stakeholder mix.

Our key sustainability themes are  
closely related to our core function  

All our stakeholders were unanimous in their view of 
Terveystalo’s critical themes of sustainability. Terveystalo 
must operate in the best possible manner in its core busi-
ness of health care service provision and, in particular, 
ensure the clinical quality and effectiveness of care, patient 
safety, high service quality, occupational safety, data pro-
tection, information security, the promotion of customer 
well-being, and the prevention of illnesses. In addition, 
Terveystalo’s shareholders emphasized the importance of 
focusing on the company’s carbon footprint, which is related 
to the current megatrend of climate change. Terveystalo 
has made several major acquisitions in recent years, and 
the well-being at work of the company’s personnel was 
substantially emphasized in the results of the materiality 
analysis. The link between employee well-being and patient 
well-being was highlighted in the responses of customers 
and shareholders alike. In addition, the most significant risks 
and opportunities were seen by all the stakeholders as being 
linked to both information security and digitalization.

Good health and well-being

We divide our quality-related  
work into four areas: 

Clinical quality is the basis  
of everything we do

Clinical quality

The customer’s experienced quality

• 

 Healthcare must be based on evidence and good 
care and operating practices, and it must be high 
quality, safe and appropriately implemented. At 
Terveystalo, we actively monitor, measure and 
manage clinical quality.

Operational efficiency

• 

 Streamlined processes ensure the smart allocation 
of resources and the reliability of operations. All 
services provided by Terveystalo are based on our 
comprehensive and certified ISO9001:2015 -quality 
management system. Our customers can always 
trust the quality of our care, the smooth use of ser-
vices, and the efficiency and safety of our services. In 
addition, we promote pleasant and efficient everyday 
life by developing our expertise and management. 
Our comprehensive network, digital tools and exten-
sive service range constitute a platform for providing 
efficient, personal and local services for customers. 

• 

 The customer’s experience is always personal and 
develops through every encounter. It is important 
to us that customers receive the care they need 
without delay and that they are encouraged to make 
choices that promote their well-being. Our objective 
is to be the preferred provider of healthcare services 
for all customer groups.

The professional’s experienced quality

• 

 We believe that satisfied employees provide a better 
customer experience in customer encounters, and 
so enhancing customer satisfaction. The realization 
of the strategy requires that we are able to attract 
qualified and motivated health care professionals 
to Terveystalo and retain them. This enables us to 
achieve clinical quality, superior service experience 
and operational efficiency.

Quality management at all levels  
of the organization

The cornerstones of our quality system are patient safety 
and the national legislation governing the field. Our quality 
assurance system is a management system that provides 
a framework for managing quality and effectiveness at all 
levels of the organization. Our strategic priority areas, joint 
processes and measurability guide us towards consistently 
high-quality operations. Continuous improvement of our 
operations is an essential part of our quality efforts. The 
objectives of our quality-related efforts also include ensu-
ring service availability, patient safety, an excellent custo-
mer experience, compliance with recommendations, data 
protection, information security and the development 
of the effectiveness of care. The Group’s quality steering 
group monitors the achievement of the quality objectives 
quarterly using quality indicators.

Patient safety is the foundation  
for quality in health care

Clinical quality is a key element of Terveystalo’s quality 
efforts that is continuously monitored and developed. 
Clinical quality refers to the patient receiving the right 
treatment at the right time and in the right manner, and 
that treatment has no avoidable adverse effects. We 
ensure service quality, safety, customer orientation and 

productivity through consistent operating methods, the 
continuous training of our experts as well as modern 
premises and technology. We manage patient safety by 
monitoring the number of procedure and clinic-speci-
fic post-surgery infections, hazardous events, official 
requests for clarifications, and the decisions of the Patient 
Insurance Centre, among other measures. We ensure the 
safety and effectiveness of the provided pharmacotherapy 
by medication plans, operating guidelines, and a basic 
range of drugs.

Each year, the themes, priorities and strategy of patient 

safety at Terveystalo are chosen by the Group’s patient 
safety team and confirmed by the quality steering group. 
This work is supported by internal and external audits. In 
2022, the patient safety themes were: unacknowledged 
laboratory results, drug maintenance permits and drug 
treatment plan, faster identification and notification of 
hazardous incidents, and sharing information on the hand-
ling and actions related to hazardous incidents. The theme 
related to hazardous incidents emerged from the 2021 
survey, where the patient safety culture, patient safety 
implementation and development needs were mapped. 
The clear structures and strategy of patient safety are 
aimed at effective cooperation to improve patient safety 
within clinics, throughout the organization, with the super-
visory authorities and particularly in practical work with 
patients.

A good patient safety culture means having an open 

Our quality index is comprised of seven key indicators:

atmosphere in which employees are able to highlight 
any shortcomings or hazards (near misses/hazardous 
incidents) they observe in their work treating patients, 
without fear of sanctions or blame. Shortcomings and 
hazardous incidents are addressed openly and carefully to 
ensure that the issue does not reoccur. In 2022, we lau-
nched a new patient and customer safety online course. 
The course is mandatory for all employees working with 
patient care and persons in positions with responsibility for 
patient safety. The course is also recommended for private 
practitioners working in Terveystalo. 

The quality index measures clinical  
and experienced quality  

We continuously develop our services, the quality and 
effectiveness of provided care and the service experience 
of our customers. We measure clinical, experienced and 
process results based on international best practices. 

Terveystalo uses a quality index that consists  
of four components: 

•  high clinical quality
•  availability of care
•  preventive care
• 

 experienced quality from the professional’s  
perspective and the patient’s perspective

1.  Use of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist  

in surgical operations

We perform surgeries in our network of 18 hospitals. We 
systematically apply the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist 
before the start of each procedure. It is a standard list of 
questions to check safety issues relevant for the opera-
tion in the OR. In 2022, the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist 
was used in 98.9 (99.8) percent of the operations we per-
formed.

patient’s functional capacity and ability to work. We sys-
tematically develop the treatment chain for our surgery 
patients. Our aim is to enable faster recovery and return 
to work. Correctly prepared surgery implemented without 
delay as well as a plan for early rehabilitation and return to 
work play a key role in this. The average length of sickness 
absence issued on the day of operation for surgical repair 
of the rotator cuff and the anterior cruciate ligament was 
30 (32) days in 2022. 

2.  Prescriptions for drugs affecting the central 
nervous system relative to the number of 
physician’s appointments

When used appropriately, drugs affecting the central 
nervous system are effective and necessary. However, 
because of their adverse effects, their use requires careful 
discretion by a physician. We have a special project aimed 
at promoting the safe use of drugs affecting the central 
nervous system according to clinical guidelines in patient 
care. To harmonize prescription practices, we have pre-
pared detailed guidelines for prescribing drugs affecting the 
central nervous system based on legislation, Current Care 
Guidelines, Smart to Avoid Recommendations, guidelines 
issued by the National Supervisory Authority for Welfare 
and Health, and operating models proven in clinical work. 
In 2022, our clinics wrote prescriptions for drugs affecting 
the central nervous system for 4.0 (4.3) percent of visits to a 
physician.

4.  Percentage of preventive work of 
occupational health appointments

Work not carried out is expensive for Finnish companies. 
Therefore, it pays to invest in work ability management 
through preventive measures. Effective work ability man-
agement requires that organizations know what kinds 
of risks to work ability they are managing. With targeted 
health examinations, we survey the organization’s health 
and work ability risks and obtain information to support 
the management efforts. Our occupational health exami-
nations always include an electronic, scientifically validat-
ed health survey. The survey is a self-assessment for the 
employees. Based on the survey, we can identify possible 
risks related to health and work ability. With the survey, we 
can target measures particularly to those with significant 
risks. In 2022, preventive work accounted for 69.6 (70.2) 
percent of all of our occupational health appointments. 

3.  Duration of sickness absence issued on the 
day of operation for repair of the rotator cuff 
and the anterior cruciate ligament

Our surgical operations aim to provide swift high-qual-
ity care pursuant to care criteria to quickly restore the 

5.  Availability of care as measured by T3  

(the third available appointment), clinics
We continuously develop the availability of care by man-
aging the balance between supply and demand as well 
as by developing our digital services and the work of our 
professionals. We measure the availability of care by the 
T3 indicator, which is the number of days until the third 

Kestävää kulutusta ja ilmastotyötä

Good health and well-being

available non-urgent appointment at our clinics. The 
figure indicates how quickly a customer can have an ap-
pointment with a physician. The T3 indicator for appoint-
ments with a physician was 1.93 (1.61) in 2022. 

6. Net Promoter Score (NPS) for appointments
We aim to stand out by providing an excellent experience 
in all customer encounters. We develop our work by 
listening to our customers and utilizing technology. NPS 
(Net Promoter Score) is our most important indicator of 
customer satisfaction. We collect feedback with SMS and 
browser-based surveys, and we are continuously adding 
NPS measurements at new customer encounter points. In 
2022, the NPS for our appointments was 82.7 (83.0). The 
NPS for our hospital services remained at a high level of 
95.1 (94.7). 

7. Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS)
We want to be the most attractive workplace for pro-
fessionals. The professional survey is one of our most 
important tools for improving internal procedures and 
supervisor work. The survey is aimed at all of Terveystalo’s 
professionals, including private practitioners. In the em-
ployee survey, the employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) 
is used as a key indicator of well-being and coping at work. 
The eNPS figure indicates the proportion of our employ-
ees and private practitioners who would recommend 
Terveystalo as a workplace to others. In the 2022 profes-
sional survey, the eNPS recommendation index was 29 
(32). Among the strengths of Terveystalo are the activities 
of work communities and cooperation in teams, as well as 
the work of immediate supervisors. In the development of 
professional experience, the aim is to nurture these iden-
tified strengths. Our aim is to have an eNPS recommenda-
tion index of 31 by 2025.

Expert-specific customer feedback to 
support professional development

Customer feedback plays a key role in the development of 
work. Terveystalo's experts have wished for direct, personal 
customer feedback in addition to unit-specific feedback. 
The collection of expert-specific customer feedback was 
tested in selected units in the fall of 2022. Almost 15,000 
feedback requests were sent to customers and around 
4,000 responses were received. The feedback received in 
the pilot was in principle positive and the average satisfac-
tion with the expert service was 4.5, on a scale of 1–5. 
The indicator of personal customer feedback that 
was chosen for the pilot was the so-called PEI (Patient 
Enablement Instrument) that measures the customer's 
ability to deal with their illness after their appointment. 
The PEI is commonly used in Finnish primary health care. 
In the pilot, two out of three respondents reported that 
they were managing better or much better with their 
illness after their appointment. The PEI index provides 
valuable information on the effectiveness and success of 
the treatment in solving the patient's problem. 

The pilot was carried out in close cooperation with 
professionals. Over the course of the pilot, the functiona-
lity of the feedback tool and various feedback questions 
was tested: what kind of information the professional 
receives from the feedback, how the feedback can be used 
in professional development and how the professionals 
experience the feedback. According to the professionals 
involved in the pilot, the opportunity to receive personal 

feedback is an excellent change. Appointments often 
provide the right diagnosis and treatment, but the custo-
mer's experience may remain unclear. Feedback is also an 
important tool for professional development. The open 
responses provided professionals with information on 
the strengths of their operations and on issues that they 
should pay more attention to. A larger-scale collection of 
personal feedback was started at the beginning of 2023. 
The opportunity to receive personal customer feedback  
is also offered to other professionals.

Terveystalo's care pathways support 
the customer's self-care

Science-based care guidance is developed at Terveystalo 
with the help of common care pathways. Care pathways 
are defined by Terveystalo as ways of treating the disease 
or condition for which the customer has sought treatment 
based on the Current Care Guidelines and other generally 
accepted treatment guidelines. 

The aim is to support professionals and customers 
in designing and implementing more effective care by 
making the choices in accordance with the care pathway 
easy in everyday life. Care pathways support the custo-
mer's self-care and care progress. 

For professionals, the treatment protocols propose sui-
table next steps on the customer’s care pathway. Together 
with the customer, the professional then decides which 
of the proposals to put into action, taking the customer’s

individual situation and needs into consideration. The 
customer can also be given direct guidance, for example, 
in the case of providing reminders about the next steps in 
the treatment, a national recommendation on influenza 
vaccination or another simple care pathway. 

For the patient, this means a clearer, smoother and 
more predictable course of treatment. For the professio-
nal, care pathways provide better tools and clearer and 
smoother work. 

The first care pathways defined by Terveystalo were 
introduced in 2021. At the end of 2022, there were care 
pathways for the treatment of non-specific lower back 
pain, depression and anxiety, insomnia, reflux, vitreous 
detachment and children’s lower respiratory tract infec-
tion, and a total of 360,000 care pathways were activated 
in the Terveystalo app. 

The aim of care pathways is to:
•  Facilitate and support the work of professionals
•  Improve patient referral
• 

 Ensure examination and treatment according  
to the Current Care Guidelines

•  Facilitate customer flow
• 

• 

 Increase the patient's knowledge of the condition  
and its treatment as well as self-care
 Create a sense of caring, as well as a health  
partnership with the patient 
•  Improve customer satisfaction
•  Improve clinical quality and effectiveness

Occupational health’s  
brief psychotherapy path – 
effective mental health care  

The number of mental health diagnoses 
has increased steadily and they are the 
main cause of sickness absences and disa-
bility pensions in Finland. Terveystalo has 
developed an occupational health brief 
psychotherapy care pathway based on the 
Current Care Guidelines, and invested in 
measuring the effectiveness of care and 
thereby further developing care. According to 
a survey carried out by Terveystalo*, mental 
health-related sickness absences decrea-
sed by approximately 40 percent among 
Terveystalo's occupational health customers 
when employees were offered a short period 
of brief psychotherapy as part of occupational 
health. Brief psychotherapy offered as part of 
occupational health is an effective treatment 
alternative when an employee’s work ability 
is threatened by mental health problems. The 
aim is to restore, strengthen, and maintain 
work ability and promote the overall quality 
of life and well-being. Short-term psychothe-

rapy includes about 10–20 appointments 
and is targeted, goal-oriented treatment for 
mild to moderate common mental health 
disorders, such as anxiety and depression. 
In Terveystalo, short-term psychotherapy 
is carried out by psychotherapists, either in 
person or remotely. 

The effectiveness of the treatment is 
monitored at the beginning and end of 
the treatment period using the CORE-OM 
and BDI questionnaires commonly used 
in psychotherapy studies. In the follow-up 
process, the questionnaires are automati-
cally and regularly sent to the patient during 
treatment to be answered in the Terveystalo 
app. The questionnaire platform scores the 
responses and a professional reviews the 
results with the patient. Aside from the fact 
that brief psychotherapy is a highly effective 
form of treatment, the systematic collection 
of feedback and efficacy data has been 
found to correlate with a positive outcome. 
The process is goal-oriented and motiva-
ting when both the professional and the 
patient receive information about progress. 
According to the BDI depression question-

naire, during the treatment, the mood-related 
symptoms of employees receiving brief psy-
chotherapy improved on average from mild 
depressive symptoms to normal reference 
levels. Based on the CORE-OM questionnaire, 
which measures wider psychological well-
being and the effectiveness of treatment, 
psychological symptoms decreased and 
functional capacity and perceived well-being 
increased significantly. 

Terveystalo’s aim is to increase the use 
of occupational brief psychotherapy in the 
treatment of people diagnosed with dep-
ression or anxiety disorders. It is important 
that more and more people receive care at 
an early stage, thus freeing up resources for 
long-term rehabilitative psychotherapy for 
those who need it due to the severity of the 
disorder. 

*The data of the survey consists of the brief 
psychotherapy appointments of Terveystalo Oc-
cupational Healthcare customers in 2000–2022. 
The survey included 9,109 occupational health 
customers and a total of 72,296 brief psycho-
therapy appointments.

Digital services improve access to care and 
bring health services close to the customer

With the COVID-19 pandemic, remote service solutions 
became a key way for Terveystalo to provide health care 
services to a wide range of customers, regardless of time 
and place. At Terveystalo, a physician, nurse or therapist 
can also be consulted remotely via video or chat. Digital 
services efficiently improve the availability of care and 
lower the threshold of seeking treatment. The Terveystalo 
app provides, among other things, access to the Doctor 
Chat in seconds on average, at all times on every day of 
the year. The low-threshold Mielen Chat is also available 
to Terveystalo Occupational Healthcare customers at 
all times. In the Terveystalo app, customers can renew 
prescriptions, get referrals for laboratory tests and com-
municate with the nurse or physician responsible for their 
care. Clearly visualized laboratory test and imaging results 
are always available in the app. The app provides the cus-
tomer with a personalized health plan. In addition, the app 
sends customers personal health-related reminders. 

In total, there were approximately 1.4 (1.0) million digi-
tal appointments in Terveystalo in 2022. A total of 2.9 (2.0) 
million appointments, corresponding to 34 (25) percent 
of all appointments, were conducted as remote appoint-
ments, digitally or by phone. The Terveystalo mobile app-
lication has more than 1.2 million users and up to 2.5 mil-
lion users have registered for Terveystalo's digital services.

ments our core competencies and provides our customers 
with a deeper understanding of the current state of their

ment goals and responds to the work ability management 
challenges created by the changes in work.

The effectiveness of work ability management is based 

on anticipation, harmonized management of disability 
risks, and multidisciplinary cooperation. In the service 
process of the consulting services, these issues are taken 
into account and the model centres on co-design and cus-
tomer orientation. Everything starts with a comprehensive 
analysis of the current situation, which utilizes the custo-
mer's data and Terveystalo's extensive material bank. The 
analysis identifies the most important drivers and areas for 
future development of work ability management. Based on 
the analysis, a development plan is drawn up and a service 
package chosen together with the customer, which is 
implemented in order to improve the work ability of the 
organization's personnel and to minimize disability risks. 
The building of the plan is led by work ability management 
consultants, who bring in Terveystalo’s professionals from 
different fields. In addition, the consultants act as work 
ability partners for the customer companies in situations 
where HR or supervisors need help, for example, in identi-
fying and managing disability risks or carrying out change 
projects. The assistance may be of a project nature or may 
be more permanent. 

Healthy workplace™ model builds the pre-
conditions for healthy and productive work

Occupational health and work ability management are 
the core business of Terveystalo. Healthy Workplace™ is 
our new occupational health services concept. The task 
of occupational health is to promote people’s working 
ability and functional capacity throughout their career. In 
addition to a healthy and safe work and working environ-
ment, the work community and its management have a 
major influence on the ability to work. Together with the 
employer, employees, and other workplace stakeholders, 
occupational healthcare promotes workplace well-being.

Terveystalo Occupational Healthcare services’ task and 

customer promise is “Healthy Workplace—For healthier 
people and companies”. Terveystalo’s Healthy Workplace 
concept is based on proactive, multidisciplinary, and goal-
oriented occupational health cooperation between the 
employer, the employees, and other stakeholders. The 
achievement of the jointly agreed goals is monitored in a 
transparent fashion. Digital remote services also improve 
the flexibility of occupational health services. Our common 
goal is to help people and organizations thrive.

Our primary health care solution  
is Smooth Health Centre

Terveystalo's solution to primary health care is concept 
called Smooth Health Centre. We want to offer wellbeing 
services counties our long-term experience as a public 
healthcare partner, our advanced digital services and our 
expertise in utilizing data.

Terveystalo has extensive experience in providing 
public social and healthcare services. Over the years, we 
have been responsible for 27 social welfare and health 
care units in more than 30 municipalities. Terveystalo's 
expertise includes all the service areas of public primary 
health care: health centre services, services for families 
with children and the elderly, oral health services, and ser-
vices for adults and special interest groups. It is essential 
to manage the service and care pathways between the 
different entities in such a way that the services can be 
used as smoothly as possible by residents and that the 
service production is cost-efficient and effective. Different 
geographical areas have their own social and health chal-
lenges: the population has its own specific characteristics 
and municipalities have different areas of expertise. Each 
one needs to create its own functional and unique whole.
Terveystalo has introduced ways in which the availa-
bility and quality of care have been improved at health 
centres. Terveystalo regularly monitors the activity data of 
the health centres whose services it produces, e.g. the T3 
time of access to care, the number of staff and the use of 
resources. Health centres have introduced a multidiscip-

linary way of working; nurses, physicians and other heal-
thcare professionals work in a team that solves the custo-
mer's health concerns together. In this way, the patient's 
case can be solved more often than before already during 
the first call. A nurse alone is able to solve about 40 per-
cent of the customers' care needs, and when a physician is 
involved, that rate rises to 60–70 percent. Another major 
change is digital and remote services. Health centres have 
a model where the customer's need for care can be solved 
remotely by phone or chat with the help of a nurse and 
physician already during the first contact. 

We produced the health centre services of 16 municipal 

health centres in 2022. In 2022, the average T3 time (the 
third available appointment) describing the availability 
of non-urgent appointments to a physician in our health 
centres was 12.0 (6.5) days and the T3 time to a nurse 
was 2.0 (1.0) days. Our target is less than 7 days to see a 
physician and less than 1 day to see a nurse. The availabi-
lity of care was excellent nationwide at our health centres 
throughout the year. Queues for oral health care have also 
remained at a good level in Terveystalo's 12 outsourced 
dental clinics. The average T3 time for non-urgent dentist 
appointments was 35 (35) days. NPS, which measures the 
customer satisfaction of health centres was 80 (80).

The central objective of the social welfare and heal-
thcare reform is to enable equal social and health care 
everywhere in Finland. The care guarantee for primary 
health care will be gradually tightened between 2023 and 
2024. The aim is that non-urgent care will be available 
within seven days starting from the end of 2024, instead

they enable easy access to professionals in locations where 
it is otherwise challenging. By utilizing telemedicine and 
digital solutions, well-being services counties can direct to 
local clinics only those patients who would benefit from it, 
which helps dismantle the care queues. Learn more about

The biobank builds well-being for the future 

Biobanks make samples and data available to high-quality 
research and product development projects that aim to find 
the causes of diseases and promote general health. The goals 
of Terveystalo’s biobank are the promotion of the populati-
on’s health, the identification of factors involved in disease 
mechanisms, the prevention of diseases and the develop-
ment of products or treatment practices that promote the 
population’s well-being or health or that are used in medical 
care. We investigate the causes of diseases and support the 
development of products and treatments used in health 
care. Our biobank also promotes scientific research related 
to COVID-19. Terveystalo’s biobank has been awarded ISO 
9001:2015 quality management system certification.

of the current three months. Innovative and cost-effective 
solutions are needed in primary health care in order to 
achieve this goal.

Terveystalo’s digital platform makes the  
use of remote services in public health  
care faster and easier

Terveystalo has developed a digital platform for the public 
sector, which has been built to meet the needs and chal-
lenges of the well-being services counties. 

In the future, well-being services counties will be able 

to concentrate all digital services related to health care 
on the platform developed by Terveystalo. The digital 
platform is ready for comprehensive integrations, such as 
patient information systems or national services such as 
Omaolo. The patient can manage their own appointments, 
have a remote appointment and continue self-care using 
the health coaching and information packages provided by 
the platform, all in one place. The appearance and content 
of the digital platform can be tailored according to the cus-
tomer's wishes. The platform operating in the browser of 
a computer or phone requires strong authentication and 
thus customer and patient data can be processed securely. 
The digital platform enables the customer to be treated 
smoothly during one session: a physician can join a nurse’s 
appointment or a chat appointment can be switched to a 
video appointment, if it is necessary to solve the problem. 
Remote appointments are an easy and modern way for 
the customer to seek help in health issues. In addition,

in ensuring and developing services. 

Terveystalo has provided the North 
Ostrobothnia Hospital District (PPSHP) with 
the Päivystysapu 116117 helpline service 
from the beginning of 2022. At the same 
time, new features were added to the service

We train our personnel to comply  
with the Code of Conduct and  
ethical requirements

The Code of Conduct translates our values into concrete 
principles that form a foundation for our daily work and 
decision-making. The ethical, responsible and compliant 
conduct of business is emphasized in Terveystalo's ope-
rations already through the requirements of the industry. 
Terveystalo’s business is guided by legislation governing 
the sector and private health care services as well as the 
requirements set by authorities. The work of healthcare 
professionals is also guided by the ethical standards of the 
various professional groups. Terveystalo’s own Code of 
Conduct provides an overarching guideline that is shared 
by everyone at Terveystalo and which we all adhere to. The 
Code of Conduct includes our main principles regarding 
anti-corruption and bribery, compliance with fair compe-
tition and environmental requirements, protection of pri-
vacy, patient safety, employee equality, non-discrimination 
and freedom of association, as well as reporting of suspe-
cted misconduct. Terveystalo is committed to promoting 
ethical business practices. In addition, Terveystalo cons-
tantly develops its compliance program and the related 
processes and controls so that they respond to changes in 
our operating environment. During 2022, Terveystalo also 
strengthened its compliance resources.

Terveystalo has online training on ethical guidelines 
for everyone at the company. There are separate online 
training courses tailored for those in administrative work 

and clinical work, taking into account their different ope-
rating environments. The online training was last updated 
in the fall of 2021, and it is mandatory for all Terveystalo 
employees. Terveystalo is currently renewing the training 
package by, among other things, improving the user 
experience of the learning platform and the interactivity of 
the training, as well as tailoring the contents in a targeted 
manner. The new compliance training is planned to be 
introduced during 2023. The purpose of the courses is 
to build an understanding of why compliance and ethical 
responsibility are important and how they are related 
to the day-to-day actions and decisions of everyone at 
Terveystalo. A further goal of the training is to create a 
better understanding of key compliance themes related 
to ethics, including fair competition, the avoidance of con-
flicts of interest, the prevention of bribery, data protection 
and reporting misconduct, as well as to further develop 
our compliance culture. In 2022, 9,031 Terveystalo emp-
loyees (6,993 salaried employees, 2,038 private practitio-
ners) completed the training and received a passing grade. 
The goal is that 100% of employees complete the Code of 
Conduct training. 

Anti-corruption and anti-bribery

In the area of anti-corruption and anti-bribery, Terveystalo 
complies with the law and other applicable regulations. 
Terveystalo is also committed to the UN Global Compact 
initiative and its anti-corruption principles. Our operations 

43

are also guided by our Code of Conduct, which includes 
anti-corruption and bribery guidelines regarding, for 
example, giving and accepting gifts and hospitality as well 
as the avoidance of conflicts of interest.

The prevention of corruption is included in 

Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct, which addresses the giving 
and accepting of gifts and hospitality, sponsorships, accep-
ting and making donations, understanding and avoiding 
conflicts of interest, as well as the rules pertaining to lob-
bying. We emphasize that, at Terveystalo, we do not offer, 
give, request or accept gifts or other benefits that could 
affect business decisions or have considerable personal 
or financial value. We also do not make financial contribu-
tions to political parties or fund the election campaigns 
of individual candidates. No incidents of corruption were 
reported in 2022. Terveystalo continues to develop its 
anti-corruption and anti-bribery compliance program and 
related processes to reflect the changes that have occur-
red in our environment. Terveystalo also works to ensure 
compliance with sanctions laws and regulations. In 2022, 
Terveystalo introduced new controls that support third-
party risk management.

Respecting human rights

Terveystalo does not tolerate any form of discrimination, 
harassment, bullying, racism or inappropriate treatment, 
nor does Terveystalo condone the use of child labour, 
any form of forced labour or other human rights viola-

tions in its own operations or its value- and supply chain. 
Terveystalo respects the human rights set out in the UN 
Declaration of Human Rights as well as the workers’ rights 
defined by the International Labour Organization (ILO) 
and related international conventions. The company is 
committed to the UN Global Compact initiative and its 
principles pertaining to human rights and labour rights. 
Terveystalo’s suppliers, service providers and other busi-
ness partners are also expected to comply with these 
principles and respect internationally recognized human 
rights. Principles related to human rights are included 
in Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of 
Conduct.

Maintaining a competitive advantage 
and responsible marketing

Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct includes a commitment to 
fair competition. We compete fairly, with integrity and in 
compliance with the applicable legislation. All of our emp-
loyees are required to comply with laws, regulations and 
internal guidelines pertaining to competition. We respect 
the intellectual property rights and confidential informa-
tion of others. In its marketing activities, Terveystalo is 
committed to complying with the ethical guidelines gover-
ning the marketing of medical services. The marketing of 
medical services must provide patients with accurate and 
reliable information on the services provided by physicians 
and health care service providers, thereby giving patients 

the opportunity to obtain factual information and support 
patients’ freedom of choice in seeking medical care.

The responsibility of suppliers  
is ensured by the Supplier Code  
of Conduct

Terveystalo wants to ensure the implementation of ethi-
cal and responsible business also in its value and supply 
chain. Each year, Terveystalo buys services, materials and 
supplies for its clinics from approximately 4,000 supp-
liers. Consequently, the network of service providers and 
suppliers of goods – and good supplier cooperation – play 
a key role in our operations. We want our contractual 
service providers and suppliers of goods to be aware of 
Terveystalo’s significant role in society and impacts on 
society and environment. We want suppliers to commit to 
taking responsibility for the economic, social and environ-
mental impacts of their operations. To ensure the respon-
sible conduct of suppliers, contractual suppliers and supp-
liers participating in tendering processes have to approve 
Terveystalo’s Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes 
guidelines and requirements pertaining to anti-corruption 
and bribery, human rights, fundamental rights at work, 
occupational health and safety, taxation and environme-
ntal responsibility. At the end of 2022, 80 (80) percent of 
suppliers representing 80 percent of Terveystalo’s total 
procurement volume had approved the Supplier Code  
of Conduct. 

Reporting channel gives  
everyone the opportunity to  
report suspected misconduct   

One important aspect of our culture of responsible 
business is that everyone who acts on behalf of or with 
Terveystalo, as well as every customer, partner and supp-
lier, feels that they can freely report any suspicions of 
misconduct and trust that Terveystalo will take appropriate 
measures to investigate any actions that are or are suspe-
cted of being in violation of the Code of Conduct. Actual 
or suspected infringements are primarily reported to one’s 
supervisor, the supervisor’s supervisor or Terveystalo’s 
Legal & Compliance department. Terveystalo also uses 
WhistleB, a reporting channel open to everyone. This 
reporting channel enables anonymous reporting of obser-
ved or suspected misconduct at: www.report.whistleb.
com/terveystalo. Any suspected misconduct and viola-
tions are investigated appropriately and confidentially. 
If a suspected violation proves to be unwarranted, there 
are no negative consequences to the reporter provided 
that the reporter has acted in good faith. The WhistleB 
reporting channel has been in use since 2017, and it has 
become one of the possible channels for reporting suspe-
cted misconduct or violations.

In 2022, we received a total of 19 (22) reports of sus-
pected violations through the reporting channel. Out of 
these, the reports already investigated did not reveal any 
noncompliance with or infringement of law or the Code

of Conduct. Investigation of some of the reports received 
late in the year is not completed yet. The findings of the 
reports and completed investigations have been conside-
red in the development of Terveystalo’s processes.  

We ensure data protection and  
information security for patients   

Privacy protection is a core value for us. At Terveystalo, we 
respect everyone’s privacy. We pay special attention to the 
appropriate and legally compliant processing of personal 
data. We provide our personnel with training and instruc-
tions on the processing of personal data and emphasize 
the particular confidentiality and protection of patient 
data. The realization of data protection is the responsibility 
of everyone who works for Terveystalo.

The digitalization of health care presents significant 
opportunities for improving the availability and effecti-
veness of care as well as the early identification of risks. 
Terveystalo has made significant investments in the deve-
lopment of digital services and tools. As digital services 
increase in importance, and change the industry, the 
requirements concerning data protection and information 
security increase accordingly.

Terveystalo stores patient information in informa-

tion security certified patient information systems. 
Terveystalo’s patient information systems used in Finland 
are category A systems and they have undergone infor-
mation security certification in accordance with the 
regulations related to providing Kanta services. In addition, 
Terveystalo’s data protection and information security are 
regularly audited internally and by a third party according 
to the ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Terveystalo applies the appropriate physical, technical, 

and administrative protection measures to protect data 
from misuse. These measures include, among others, 
control and filtering of network traffic, use of encryption 
techniques and safe data centres, appropriate access 
control, controlled granting of access rights and supervi-
sion of their use, giving instructions to staff participating 
in personal data processing and risk management related 
to the planning, implementation, and maintenance of our 
services. Terveystalo chooses its subcontractors carefully 
and uses agreements and other arrangements to ensure 
that they process data in compliance with the law and 
good data protection practices.

We use data and AI responsibly 

The identification, prediction and prevention of illnesses 
and health risks benefit both the patient and society. 
Analyzing and using patients’ health data is an essential 
part of health risk identification. It ensures that we can 
provide timely treatment for customers and that we can 
also give recommendations, the acceptance of which is 
always up to the customers. We develop and use AI in a 
reliable and ethical manner. We actively monitor that the 
AI solutions we use are responsible, beneficial to people, 
relevant to both Terveystalo and the customers and that 
the specified objectives are achieved. We respect and 
monitor the realization of fundamental rights also in the 
context of using AI technology and we protect our custo-
mers’ data and privacy in all circumstances.  

We engage in internal dialogue in the company regar-
ding the ethics of AI and topics related to data protection 
(including the Act on the Secondary Use of Health and 
Social Data). We actively monitor AI solutions, the related 
discussion and recommendations (including the EU regu-
lations on AI that are currently in the process of being 
drafted). In the development and use of AI, we are com-
mitted to legal compliance and we adhere to the general 
ethical recommendations pertaining to the use of AI.

The figures include Terveystalo's operations in Finland.

Terveystalo is a significant employer

At the end of 2022, Terveystalo's Finnish operations 
employed 10,100 (9,131) employees and 5,822 (5,644) 
independent private practitioners. In 2021, we expanded 
to Sweden with the acquisition of Feelgood, a local occu-
pational health operator. In Sweden, we employed 833 
(674) employees and 106 (110) private practitioners at the 
end of 2022.

We need many professionals  
to support our growth 

Over the next 15 years, it is estimated that 200,000 new 
healthcare professionals will be needed in Finland to meet 
the growing need for care. Our core goal is to ensure that 
Terveystalo has enough health and well-being professio-
nals to meet the growing demand and achieve the goals of 
our strategy. To ensure this, we recruit new professionals 
and strive to reduce employee turnover. We also aim to 
increase the number of hours worked at Terveystalo by 
the current private practitioners working at Terveystalo. 
The attractiveness of Terveystalo as an employer and the 
well-being and satisfaction at work of those working in 

Terveystalo form the foundation for all our operations. 
We strengthen our attractiveness as a workplace by 
providing professionals with interesting and meaningful 
work, diverse career and development opportunities, and 
ensuring that professionals can work smoothly and focus 
on what is essential. As an employer, we promise to have 
the best work community in the industry, to operate in a 
multidisciplinary manner, to develop as a company and as 
individuals, and to be pioneers in our field. 

Our goal is to be the best and most attractive employer 

in our industry. We have been systematically working 
towards this goal for many years and are by far the most 
popular employer in our field among industry professio-
nals in Finland. 

Responsible work

At Terveystalo, our mission is to fight 
for a healthier life. We want to be a 
pioneer in our field, so we are constantly 
developing our thinking, expertise and 
working methods. We give healthcare 
professionals the opportunity to join 
a multidisciplinary community of top 
talents, a team whose members help 
each other succeed. In line with our 
values, we always focus on people and 
work towards the common good. Our 
strategic goal is to be the industry's best 
and most attractive workplace for all 
professionals.

Changes in how professionals work and 
supporting people through change  

We provide professionals with a smooth and efficient 
working environment and support them in changing their 
work. Digitalization has changed the work of health and 
well-being professionals and brought new skills requi-
rements.  Digitalization makes it possible to increase 
both the smoothness and productivity of work, allowing 
professionals to focus on customer encounters and 
problem-solving. Change also requires new approaches to 
management and remuneration. 

When it comes to changes in the way professionals 
work and supporting that change, we are investing espe-
cially in improving the content and guidance of work by 
developing care guidance and care pathways. Care gui-
dance based on care pathways aims to provide more con-
sistent and effective care to our customers and facilitate 
the work of professionals. 

The role of customer feedback is key in the develop-
ment of work. Terveystalo's experts have asked for direct, 
personal customer feedback in addition to unit-specific 
feedback. The collection of expert-specific customer 
feedback was tested in selected units in the fall of 2022. 
The pilot was carried out in close cooperation with pro-
fessionals. A larger-scale collection of personal feedback 
will start at the beginning of 2023 based on the good 
experiences of the pilot. According to the professionals 

involved in the pilot, the opportunity to receive personal 
feedback is also an important tool for professional deve-
lopment. Read more on p. 40.

We provide our professionals with versatile, cons-
tantly evolving digital tools. The occupational health 
work ability management model, the Healthy Workplace 
Suunta service, the disability risk recognition of Etydi, the 
professionals’ own work management mobile application 
Terveystalo Pro, and medical reporting support profes-
sionals in their work and provide tools for research work. 
We have also introduced new tools to support the work of 
professionals, such as the Terveystalo + Nightingale health 
index. Professionals can also utilize the customer-directed 
digital health and well-being content, guidelines and 
weekly programs found in the Terveystalo app in guiding 
and advising the customer.

We look after the health and  
safety of our employees 

Occupational health care plays an important role in the 
identification of health risk factors and the prevention of 
illnesses. Our occupational health care and occupational 
safety in Finland are organized on a company-specific 
and regional basis in accordance with Finnish legislation, 
according to which the employer shall arrange occupa-
tional health care at its own expense in order to prevent 
and control health risks and problems related to work and 

working conditions and to protect and promote the safety, 
work ability and health of employees. 

In addition to the statutory requirements, we provide 

our employees in Finland with a comprehensive range 
of primary health care, specialized care and well-being 
services, such as direct access to an occupational phy-
sical therapist and Mielen Chat and Mielen Sparri, digital 
services that support mental well-being. Mielen Chat and 
Mielen Sparri are low-threshold services that are provided 
remotely using the Terveystalo app. These services allow 
the user to discuss anything on their mind in strict confi-
dentiality and they also provide tools to support mental 
well-being. Brief psychotherapy is also part of our occu-
pational health services. We aim to recognize challenges 
related to work ability and occupational health at an early 
stage and seek solutions to these challenges through effe-
ctive cooperation with occupational health services. 

Our occupational health care provides occupational 

health services for our personnel throughout Finland. 
Thanks to centralized and goal-driven management, the 
content and practices of our occupational healthcare 
are consistent and produce good results. Labquality Oy 
has awarded our occupational health services an ISO 
9001:2015 quality certificate.

In our Group, advice and guidance related to employee

Responsible work

Terveystalo is number one  
for healthcare professionals 

Terveystalo is the most interesting workplace 
in the healthcare sector. Terveystalo has 
been investing in modern management 
and strong work communities for years. 
More than 1,500 health and pharmaceutical 
professionals chose Terveystalo as the most 
interesting workplace in the health service 
sector. Terveystalo has held the top position 
in the sector since 2020. The data is based 
on the annual employer image survey con-
ducted by Universum, which evaluated nearly 
60 operators from the public sector, private 
health service companies and pharmaceutical 
companies.

occupational health services and our insurance company 
partners. When it comes to the treatment of serious illnes-
ses, we cooperate with primary health care and specialized 
health care.

Private practitioners are not in an employment relation-
ship with Terveystalo. They decide on their own fees and 
provide services directly to customers as part of our ser-
vice offering. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, occupational health 
has invested heavily in upholding the personnel's work 
ability and medical care in a state of emergency. Sickness 
absences of personnel increased from the previous year, 
and the sickness absence percentage in Finland was 5.2 
(4.4) percent of hours worked. In Sweden the correspon-
ding figure was 5.5 (4.0). 

The statutory occupational healthcare action plan 

includes the general objectives of occupational healthcare 
as well as the requirements based on workplace conditions 
and related measures. We review the action plan annually 
based on workplace visits and our company's work ability 
management needs, among other things.  

Our occupational health operations are based on our 

Healthy Workplace model, which is aimed at ensuring 
that work is as efficient as possible, the work community 
functions well, the management approach is active, and 
that individuals have a high level of well-being at work. In 
occupational health, the company, the personnel and the 
occupational health services work together in accordance 
with the set goals. The action plan is available to the per-
sonnel on the company’s intranet. 

Terveystalo's private practitioners are not covered 
by occupational health care. Instead, as self-employed 
persons, they arrange their own occupational health care. 

Occupational health services for the staff transferred 
from acquired entities are, as a rule, organized in accor-
dance with the acquired entity’s previous agreement at 
least for the duration of a transition period if the com-
pany in question is a subsidiary and it is not merged with 
Suomen Terveystalo.

There were no fatal accidents or accidents leading 
to serious injuries at Terveystalo in 2022. Our accident 
frequency in Finland was 15 (20) in 2022, which is clearly 
below the average in the healthcare sector (34). 

In 2021, we started work on the development of occu-

pational safety in Finland, as part of which we started to 
reform occupational safety operating models, tools and 
guidelines, and drew up an action plan of measures that 
we will implement over the next few years in order to 
ensure the safety of our personnel at work even better 
than before. The action plan includes, for example, occu-
pational safety training, clarified safety responsibilities and 
new operating models for assessing occupational safety 
risks, among other things. In 2022, these development 
measures were implemented across the organization. 

In Sweden (Feelgood), occupational health and safety 
is organized in accordance with Swedish legislation, and 
Feelgood has an ISO 45001 occupational health certificate.

We develop our know-how and  
Terveystalo as a workplace

Systematic and business-oriented personnel develop-
ment, smooth work and responsible, good supervisor 
work ensure the well-being of our personnel, which in turn 
benefits our customers through better care and a positive 
customer experience. We require everyone at Terveystalo 
to have a defined set of professional skills that is based 
on the values that guide our operations. In Terveystalo, 
competence develops by doing, learning from each other 
and through training. During development discussions, 
the need for competence development is identified, and 
it is agreed how the development will be implemented. 
Terveystalo offers a wide range of vocational training and 
opportunities for learning at work. We also develop leader-
ship and supervisor work, and support self-study between 
work by increasing opportunities for online learning, for 
example. 

The growth of digital health has been strong in recent 

years. We have invested in training our personnel in the 
use of digital tools and channels, as well as their use in 
customer work. We provide training for physicians and 
nurses in the use of different types of remote services. The 
trainings include basic system training, trainings by type 
of appointment (video appointment, chat appointment), 
as well as in-depth further training on, for example, the 
assessment of care needs remotely, customer experience 
and guidance, and consulting services. 

In 2022, we continued the development project aimed 
at streamlining the work of occupational health nurses and 
strengthening well-being at work. Pilots were carried out 
during the year, for example, for the planning and manage-
ment of work. The implementation of the new operating 
models developed on the basis of the results of the pilots 
started in the fall. The new operating models support a 
consistent quality of service for our customers and streng-
then work management and job satisfaction. According to 
the results of the professional survey, occupational health 
nurses' coping at work has improved thanks to the new 
operating models. 

In addition, training courses aimed at different pro-
fessions and supporting professional development were 
organized during the year.  We also trained our personnel 
on data protection and security, as well as on operations 
in compliance with requirements and ethical guidelines. In 
2022, we organized training in Finland for a total of 69,733 
(79,847) hours, which corresponds to 7.0 (8.7) hours per 
employee.  

In addition to internal training, we also engage in 
research and education cooperation with several uni-
versities and promote youth employment with trainee 
programs, among other things. In the fall of 2022, we 
launched a new trainee program for occupational psy-
chologists, which includes 18 psychologists. During the 
program, participants will be able to grow and learn in the 
role of an occupational psychologist responsible for a cus-
tomer, with the support of senior experts.

2022, the development of students' skills was supported 
by a tailored educational path at Terveystalo’s summer 
school. The content and implementation of the eight-
week summer school received praise from the students, 
and according to the feedback, the summer school offered 
the desired support for the early stages of a physician’s 
career.

The diverse events and training we offer are available 
to all of our physicians. For the biggest medical specialists, 
our career experts also develop and organize training 
courses and events designed by specialization. We also 
offer physicians professional training at our annual medi-
cal convention. Through numerous online courses and 
webinars, Terveystalo's diverse career opportunities offer 
possibilities for work development as well as the chance to 
focus on appropriate work for each physician.

The medical supervisor plays an important role in the 
work community and we also train our experts in various 
managerial tasks. A physician can also work at Terveystalo 
in administrative development tasks or research work. 

Work at Terveystalo takes place flexibly and inde-
pendently of the place. Work goals and effectiveness 
determine the way work is done. Our Group services have 
moved to hybrid work, where the teams agree on the most 
effective way of working for them. The way of working is 
influenced, for example, by the smoothness of the work, 
goals, flexibility and the well-being of the personnel. We 
also encourage teams to meet regularly at the office. 
We have also developed flexible working opportunities 
for those of our professionals who work at the customer 
interface. Flexible work is now routine for physicians, occu-
pational health professionals and those who work at our 
customer service centres, for example. 

Specialization and training  
of physicians at Terveystalo

We want to guarantee our experts the opportunity for 
diverse career development, and actively develop specia-
lization opportunities. Our occupational health specializa-
tion program is the most extensive of our specialization 
paths, and it is possible to specialize at almost all of our 
occupational health clinics in Finland. Our specialization 
training is carried out in close cooperation with the medi-
cal faculties of universities.

Dozens of students with a Bachelor’s degree in medi-
cine work at Terveystalo every summer. In the summer of

The professional survey is  
a key development tool

The professional survey is an important tool for improving 
internal practices and supervisor work. The survey is aimed 
at everyone working for Terveystalo in Finland, including 
private practitioners who work for the Group. A biannual 
professional survey maps experiences in well-being at 
work, management and the functioning of the work 
community, among others. The Employee Net Promoter 
Score (eNPS) is the key indicator of well-being at work 
and coping at work in the personnel survey. The indicator 
shows the proportion of the personnel and private practi-
tioners who would recommend Terveystalo as a workplace 
to others.  

In the 2022 professional survey, the eNPS recom-
mendation index was 29 (32). Among the strengths of 
Terveystalo are the activities of work communities and 
cooperation in teams, as well as the work of immediate 
supervisors. In the development of professional expe-
rience, the aim is to nurture these identified strengths.  
Our aim is to have an eNPS recommendation index of  
31 by 2025. 

Personal development discussions as  
a tool for performance management 
and job satisfaction

At Terveystalo, annual personal development discussions 
are held with all full-time employees to support goal-dri-
ven and motivated work. The development discussion 
includes a review of the previous period's successes and 
learning together with the supervisor, and setting targets 
for the new period. In addition to addressing the goals 
for the previous and next period, the discussion covers 
competence, well-being at work, working in accordance 
with Terveystalo’s defined professional skills, cooperation 
as well as long-term objectives and wishes. The themes 
discussed in the personal development discussion are revi-
sited in one-to-one discussions held at least once a month 
and in more extensive half-year reviews. The personal 
development discussions are a key aspect of the practical 
implementation of Terveystalo’s strategy, values and pro-
fessional skills as well as performance management and 
the monitoring of the achievement of goals. 

We also engage in active dialogue with the private prac-

titioners working at Terveystalo.  The private practitioner 
discussion is a regular personal discussion with the aim 
of developing cooperation and the conditions for work 
as a self-employed private practitioner at Terveystalo. 
Specialization-specific meetings and training organized 
throughout the year also support professional networking 
and medical guidance.

We promote diversity, equality  
and non-discrimination

We observe the principles of equality, fairness, and non- 
discrimination. We do not discriminate on the basis of 
race, age, ethnic or national origin, nationality, language, 
religion, belief, opinions, health status, disability, sexual 
orientation or other personal reasons or circumstances.  
In recruitment, we focus on the person’s professional 
competence, the ability to take responsibility and the will 
to improve our operations and themselves.

In order to implement these principles, a work commu-
nity development plan is regularly drawn up and updated 
at Terveystalo, as part of which issues related to equality 
and non-discrimination are also discussed. The work com-
munity development plan was last drawn up at the end of 
2022. 

We also treat our customers equally. We require all 
our healthcare professionals to comply with the Finnish 
Medical Association’s and WHO's ethical guidelines, 
according to which it is the responsibility of the physician 
to promote health and prevent disease. According to the 
Finnish Medical Association's ethical guidelines, a physi-
cian should treat the patient according to their needs and 
treat all of their patients equally.

In accordance with the diversity policy of our Board 
of Directors, our objective is to have a balanced gender 
distribution in the Board of Directors. At the end of 2022, 
two of the five members of the Board of Directors were 
women. Four of the eight Management Group members 
were women.

The remuneration of our personnel is based on the 
principles of performance, equal treatment and compe-
titiveness. For jobs that fall under collective agreements, 
such as nurses, the pay categories correspond to the clas-
sifications specified in the collective agreements. Pay is 
also influenced by job-specific responsibility supplements 
and the employee’s years of experience. For senior salaried 
employees, pay is determined based on the position and 
the demands of the job as well as other factors, including 
competence, experience, performance and results. The 
company-specific equality plans are focused on the 
equality of remuneration and are aimed at promoting 
equal pay. Gender, for example, cannot be a factor that 
influences pay.

For a more  
equal Terveystalo

We want to be an open and safe place to work 
and do business for everyone, regardless of 
sexual orientation, gender identity and gender 
expression. In the summer of 2022, we asked 
our personnel for ideas to promote these 
goals. We received good development ideas 
for better consideration of sexual and gender 
minorities in work communities and customer 
encounters. We also identified interest in 
participating in the activities of the working 
group promoting equality. The purpose of 
the working group is to develop the imple-
mentation of equality, especially from the 
perspective of sexual and gender minorities. 
The composition of the working group, which 
will be launched at the beginning of 2023, will 
change each year so that as many people as 
possible will have the opportunity to partici-
pate. Ten people from different backgrounds 
were selected for the working group.

In 2022, we were one of the official partners 
of the Helsinki Pride event. We also offered 
our personnel training on how to interact with 
sexual and gender minorities in healthcare 
services.

Responsible business is also financially 
profitable and sustainable. We create 
value for our customers, society, and our 
shareholders by continuously developing 
the clinical, operational, and experienced 
quality of our work, enabling faster access 
to care, reducing sickness absences, 
and employing directly and indirectly 
more than 16,800 people, including both 
employees and private practitioners. We 
are a significant employer, taxpayer, and 
provider of health services in Finland.  

Sustainable economic growth

Terveystalo’s success  
benefits society

We produce services in Finland not only in the form of 
occupational health services for employers but also in the 
form of purchased services for the public sector and dire-
ctly to private customers. Well-functioning occupational 
health care keeps the economy going. By providing public 
services, we save the taxpayers’ money because we can 
offer high-quality health services cost-efficiently. By choo-
sing private sector services, the customer also reduces 
queues in the public sector, both in dental care and 

other health care services. In Sweden, we mainly produce 
diverse preventive occupational health services, helping 
Swedish companies and their employees achieve a higher 
level of well-being.

We create economic added value not only for our cus-

tomers but also for other key stakeholders, such as our 
personnel, private practitioners, our material and service 
suppliers, and society. Our most significant cash flows con-
sist of revenue from service sales, purchases from supp-
liers of goods and services, salaries paid to our personnel, 
fees paid to private practitioners, taxes, investments, and 
dividends paid to the shareholders.

Terveystalo is one of the largest  
employers in Finland

Terveystalo was one of the largest employers in Finland in 
2022. At the year-end, our personnel in Finland included 
approximately 10,100 (9,131) salaried employees and 
5,822 (5,644) private practitioners. In Sweden, we had  
833 (674) employees and 106 (110) private practitioners. 

Terveystalo pays its taxes to  
the countries it operates in

In accordance with Terveystalo’s public tax strategy, we 
pay, collect, account and report our indirect and direct 
taxes in full at the right time and place, i.e. where the 
economic activity, addition of value and work generating 
the profit actually take place. This means that, as a Group, 
we pay almost all of our taxes to Finland, which is where 
most of our operations take place. Regarding the busi-
ness activities of Feelgood, Rela-hierojat and Evalua sales 
company, taxes are also paid in Sweden, Estonia, and the 
Netherlands. The local business activities of our subsi-
diaries in Estonia and the Netherlands have been minor 
during the financial year 2022. Our responsible tax policy 
ensures that our financial profit is divided fairly between 
our key stakeholders, i.e. customers, shareholders, muni-

cipalities and the state. Tax revenue is used in turn to 
finance public services and investments that support the 
national government’s capabilities, sustainability and res-
ponsiveness. 

We publish our tax footprint annually, describing the 
total sum and division of taxes and tax-like charges paid 
to society. Our direct taxes include corporate income tax, 
transfer tax, and real estate tax, and our indirect taxes 
include, for example, value added tax. In accordance with 
the Tax Accounting Act, a share of the corporate income 
tax we pay is paid to the municipalities where Terveystalo’s 
employees have worked, based on the number of emplo-
yees. This means that all Terveystalo’s clinics and outsour-
cing operations accrue tax revenue for the municipality 
they operate in.

As a basic rule, private health care companies are not 

eligible to deduct value added tax on purchases, which 
means that VAT is a substantial factor for them. The pro-
portion of value added tax that is not deducted increases 
our tax footprint. Health care services sold by a private ser-
vice provider are tax-exempt for customers. Corresponding 
with previous financial years, our tax footprint provides 
information of the VAT amount, which has not been 
deducted. However, some services – such as cosmetic 
surgery – are not exempt from VAT for the customer, which

means we collect and pay VAT. As of financial year 2022, we 
have added information on VAT paid to the Tax Authorities 
for the business activities liable to value added tax.

The parent company of the Terveystalo Group and the 

financing and purchasing companies operate in Finland 
and pay their taxes to Finland. Terveystalo has compa-
nies providing health care and other services in Finland, 
Sweden, Estonia and the Netherlands. All of the Group 
companies engage in economic activities in the countries 
they are domiciled in and pay taxes for their operations 
in accordance with the local regulations. Terveystalo’s 
tax footprint reporting covers all of the Group’s Finnish 
companies. For Sweden and Feelgood, the tax footprint is 
reported for the period of Terveystalo’s ownership. As the 
share of revenue represented by the subsidiaries operating 
in Estonia and the Netherlands is still minor compared to 
the Group as a whole, the other countries’ share of the tax 
footprint is presented combined. 

In 2022, our tax footprint totalled EUR 235.7 (191.0) 
million. The tax footprint is an indicator of the total tax 
revenue generated for society by Terveystalo’s business 
activities. In addition, we paid a total of EUR 340.6 (316.3) 
million in fees to private practitioners, who pay their indi-
vidual taxes separately. The taxes paid by private practitio-
ners are not included in Terveystalo’s tax footprint.

measures and to achieve zero emissions in our own operations by 2030. In 2022 emissions were not compensated due to cost savings. The calculation of Scope 2 emissions is market-based. The exceptional electricity mar-
ket disturbances forced Terveystalo to change its electricity supplier in the middle of the year, and because of the high market price of electricity, no green electricity was purchased for the rest of the year. The calculation 
of the market-based figure is based on the emission factor of the electricity purchased by Terveystalo in Finland, while the location-based figure is calculated according to a factor based on the source distribution of local 
energy production. The amount of green electricity from the electricity purchased in Sweden has been calculated according to the average share of green electricity in the Swedish market, since supplier-specific informa-
tion is not available. The energy consumption and carbon footprint figures for 2022 also include operations in Sweden. Comparison years only include Finland.

Terveystalo’s environmental program covers all of our 
clinics in Finland and its appropriateness is evaluated in 
quality management and environmental management sys-
tem audits. Some of our clinics in Finland and Group ser-
vices are ISO 14001:2015 certified. Feelgood, Terveystalo’s 
subsidiary operating in Sweden, also has ISO 14001:2015 
certification.

Our climate target: zero emissions  
from own operations in 2030 

Our goal is to reduce our carbon footprint so that we will 
achieve zero emissions in our own operations in 2030. 
Between 2023 and 2030, we will compensate greenhouse 
gas emissions from our own operations by investing in 
certified CO2 emission compensation projects. Our aim is 
to eventually discontinue compensation measures and to 
achieve zero emissions in our own operations by 2030. 

A further goal is to reduce our direct and indirect CO2 
emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) by 80% by 2025 (using 
2018 as the baseline). As regards energy consumption, 
our target is for green electricity to account for 100% of 
the electricity we purchase. The recycling and recovery of 
waste is another key theme in our environmental respon-
sibility, with the goal being to minimize waste in all opera-
tions. The indicators we use for this are the mixed waste 
intensity and the recovery rate and recycling rate of waste 
generated at Terveystalo’s units. 

Sustainable consumption  
and climate action

Our carbon footprint increased due to 
disruptions in the electricity market 

In 2022, Terveystalo’s carbon footprint from Scope 1 and 
Scope 2 emissions (market-based) in Finland totalled 
2,334.1 (644.0) metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent 
(tCO2e). Scope 2 emissions from purchased electricity 
quadrupled from the previous year. This was due to the 
exceptional electricity market disturbances, which forced 
Terveystalo to change its electricity supplier in the middle 
of the year, and because of the high market price of elect-
ricity, no green electricity was purchased for the rest of the 
year. In Sweden, Scope 1 and 2 emissions from Feelgood’s 
operations totalled 142.2 tCO2e. Terveystalo’s carbon

footprint consists mainly of the production of the electricity 
consumed by properties, emissions generated by transport 
and travel as well as the waste generated in hospitals and 
clinics. The emissions generated by Terveystalo’s operations 
are reduced, for example, by increasingly transitioning to 
green electricity and prioritizing low-emission vehicles.

Emissions

We report the direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) 
greenhouse gas emissions arising from our operations – 
and part of our indirect Scope 3 emissions – in accordance 
with the GHG standard. We report the emissions from 
Swedish operations for the first time for the year 2022.

Scope 1
As we do not, for the most part, own or control the proper-
ties at which we operate, our greenhouse gas emissions 
mostly consist of the emissions from our fleet of cars and 
the trucks used for imaging operations. The emissions 
arising from our own driving and driving under our direct 
control are calculated based on fuel consumption. In 
2022, Scope 1 CO2 emissions in Finland totalled 134.5 
(245.5) metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e).  
In Sweden, Scope 1 emissions totalled 39.9 tCO2e.

Scope 2
Indirect Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions arise from the 
production of electricity purchased by Terveystalo and 
the production of district heating consumed at properties 
controlled by Terveystalo. In 2022, electricity purchases 

for properties controlled by Terveystalo totalled 15,841 
(14,159) MWh. Since January 2020, the company’s ele-
ctricity portfolio (electricity purchased for properties) 
has been zero-CO2 green electricity. Zero-CO2 electricity 
purchased for 2022 in Finland totalled 7,730 (12,696) 
MWh, representing approximately 49 (89) percent of the 
company’s electricity consumption in Finland. The remain-
der, 8,111 (1,499) MWh, corresponds to 2,199.6 (418.5) 
metric tons of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e, market-based). 
The exceptional electricity market disturbances forced 
Terveystalo to change its electricity supplier in the middle 
of the year, and because of the high market price of ele-
ctricity, no green electricity was purchased for the rest of 
the year. In Sweden electricity purchases for properties 
controlled by Feelgood totalled 1,328 MWh, of which 67 
percent was zero-CO2 green electricity. As regards energy 
consumption, our target is for green electricity to account 
for 100% of the electricity we purchase. 

Scope 3
For indirect Scope 3 emissions, we report emissions arising 
from work-related travel by employees and waste created 
by the company’s operations.

We aim to avoid unnecessary work-related travel by 

encouraging the use of remote meetings whenever 
possible. In 2022, Terveystalo’s personnel in Finland flew 
a total of 0.7 (0.3) million kilometres in work-related tra-
vel, equalling 84.1 (39.9) tCO2e. Regarding reimbursable 
work-related travel, our personnel in Finland travelled a 
total of 2.6 (1.9) million kilometres, equalling 440.8 (322.1) 
tCO2e. We encourage our personnel to choose low-emis-

sions vehicles as company cars. The average emissions of 
the company cars used by the Group in Finland amount to 
72 (92) g CO2e/km. In Sweden, personnel are encouraged 
to use trains instead of flying and to favour remote mee-
tings when possible. Terveystalo’s personnel in Sweden 
flew a total of 0.31 million kilometres, resulting in emis-
sions of 45.1 tCO2e. A total of 262.6 tCO2e were emitted 
from all the work-related trips of the Swedish personnel. 
The indirect emissions arising from waste in Finland 
totalled 41.7 (36.6) tCO2e in 2022. In Sweden, emissions 
from waste are very low since the amount of waste gene-
rated from operations is small and is mainly generated in 
offices. The emissions arising from waste in Sweden total-
led 2.1 tCO2e.      

Terveystalo has a low  
CO2 emissions intensity

Terveystalo’s CO2 emissions intensity is low due to the 
nature of the Group’s operations. In 2022, Terveystalo’s 
emissions intensity (Scope 1 and Scope 2, market-based) 
relative to revenue amounted to 1.8 (0.6) gCO2e/EUR. 
Relative to the number of employees, the emissions inten-
sity was 0.4 (0.12) tCO2e. Figures for 2022 also include 
operations in Sweden.

Digital services improve access to care 
and reduce environmental effects  

Our digital services enable us to simultaneously improve 
service availability and reduce our customers’ travel times 

61

and the emissions generated by travel. In 2022, the num-
ber of remote appointments increased to 2.9 (2.0) million. 
Remote appointments through digital channels or over the 
phone accounted to 34 (25) percent of all appointments.  

Minimization and utilization of waste

The recycling and recovery of waste is another key theme 
in our environmental responsibility, with our goal being 
to minimize mixed waste in all operations and forward as 
large a share of our waste as possible to be recovered. The 
indicators we use for this in Finland’s operations are the 
mixed waste intensity and the recovery rate and recycling 
rate of waste generated at Terveystalo’s units in Finland. 
We are committed to reducing the plastic waste generated 
by our operations in accordance with the EU’s plastic stra-
tegy by improving our recycling efforts and reviewing the 
packaging options offered by our suppliers when possible. 
We also keep a close eye on our medical waste and try to 
minimize it by increasing the efficiency of our inventory 
management. The amount of waste from Terveystalo's 
Swedish operations is small and is largely office waste, 
because Feelgood has no hospitals, medical clinics or  
laboratories. 

The COVID-19 pandemic also influenced the amount of 
waste generated in 2022, as the use of protective equip-
ment needed for COVID-19 testing, vaccination and the 
protection of staff and customers increased during the 
year. The amount of mixed waste was also increased by  
the renovations of several units.

Sustainability reporting principles

We report on sustainability as part of our 
annual report. The Sustainability section 
describes Terveystalo’s sustainability 
efforts and their results. The 
sustainability report for 2022 is prepared 
with reference to the GRI Standards. The 
Statement of Non-Financial Information 
as required by the Accounting Act is 
included in the Report of the Board of 
Directors found in the Financials section 
of the Annual Report. 

Scope of reporting and assurance

In addition to our operations, our Code of Conduct and 
operating principles also apply to the independent practi-
tioners working at Terveystalo. In addition, we require our 
suppliers to approve the Supplier Code of Conduct. Unless 
otherwise stated, this report does not cover other aspects 
of our outsourcing business, non-integrated acquired 
entities, independent subsidiaries or suppliers. This report 
describes our progress in our key objectives and commit-
ments related to our most material sustainability themes. 
Unless otherwise stated, the performance data given in 

this report covers the operations that have been comple-
tely integrated into Terveystalo and are an integral part 
of Terveystalo’s network. The sections on the personnel 
and environment cover the personnel and operations of 
Terveystalo, excluding non-integrated acquired entities 
and independent subsidiaries. Our emissions reporting 
complies with the CHG requirements.

The report has not been externally verified. 

Our reporting meets the requirements of the EU Directive 
regarding the disclosure of non-financial and diversity 
information as well as the Finnish accounting legislation. 
The required non-financial information is disclosed in the 
Corporate Governance Statement and the Report of the 
Board of Directors.

In our sustainability reporting, we focus on the sustai-
nability themes and aspects that are the most material for 
our operations in accordance with our sustainability pro-
gram. The material aspects of sustainability were defined 
in the materiality analysis we conducted in 2019. In 
addition to materiality, we have aimed to take into account 
the other reporting principles of the GRI Standards in our 
reporting. In 2023, we will conduct a new materiality ana-
lysis, which corresponds to the new GRI standards and the 
EU's sustainability reporting directive.

Terveystalo is committed to complying with the ten 
principles of the UN Global Compact (UNGC) initiative 
regarding human rights, labour rights, the environment 
and anti-corruption. This report is a Communication on 
Progress (COP) in accordance with the initiative. The 
reported Global Compact principles are listed in the GRI 
Content Index.

Our sustainability reporting covers the reporting period 

1 January–31 December, 2022. The Annual Report is 
available in Finnish and English. The report for 2021 was 
published in February 2022.

Diversity of the Board of Directors

The Company’s principles concerning the diversity of the 
Board of Directors came into effect on 27 September 
2017. The Board of Directors updated the diversity policy 
on 10 February 2021. The Company regards the diversity 
of the Board of Directors as a material factor, which sup-
ports the Company’s business and its development as well 
as the achievement of the Company’s strategic targets. 
The work of the Board of Directors requires an understan-
ding of the differences in cultures, values, and business 
practices. Diversity is assessed from different perspectives, 
including age, gender, education, and professional back-
ground. Both genders shall be represented on the Board 
of Directors. In planning the composition of the Board of 
Directors, the Nomination Board considers the composi-
tion of the Board from the perspective of the Company’s 
current and future business needs, taking into account 
the diversity of the Board. In 2022, the Company’s Board 
of Directors met the diversity criteria. The age span of the 
Board members is 45–64 years. Two of the Board members 
are women and three are men.

Description of the work  
of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has adopted a written Charter 
of the Board on 23 January 2018 and last updated it on 
10 February 2021. It supplements the provisions of the 
Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regu-
lations. The Charter of the Board of Directors describes 
the Board’s composition, election process of the directors 
reporting directly to the CEO, responsibilities of the Board, 
meeting arrangements, and Terveystalo’s executive mana-
gement’s reporting to the Board of Directors. In principle, 
the CEO attends Board meetings. 

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO), General Counsel, 
and other members of the Executive Team attend Board 
meetings upon invitation by the Board of Directors. The 
Board of Directors has general competence to decide and 
to act in matters that do not fall within the competence of 
the General Meeting or the CEO’s general authority under 
law or the Company’s Articles of Association. The Board of 
Directors is responsible for the Company’s governance and 
the appropriate arrangement of its operations. In addition, 
the Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring appropri-
ate supervision of the Company’s accounting and asset 
management. The Board of Directors decides on matters 
of principle and on any issues that could have broad-ran-
ging implications for the Company. It decides on major 
corporate plans and transactions. The Board of Directors 

also establishes limits for capital expenditure, investments, 
divestments, and financial commitments. The Board of 
Directors’ responsibilities also include reviewing and 
approving the strategic objectives and strategic plans of 
the Company and its various business functions as well as 
monitoring their implementation. The Board of Directors 
also reviews and approves the Company’s financial targets. 
In addition, the Board of Directors monitors and assesses 
the Company’s financial reporting system, approves the 
Company’s financial reports, and monitors the Company’s 
external audit process. It also ensures that the Company 
has defined the operating principles of internal control, 
internal auditing, and risk management, and monitors 
compliance with these principles. In all situations, the 
Board of Directors shall act in the best interest of the 
Company and its shareholders. The Board of Directors 
appoints and dismisses the CEO, supervises the CEO’s 
actions, and approves the CEO’s service contract. It also 
approves the CEO’s remuneration and other benefits upon 
the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, 
within the framework of the Remuneration Policy pre-
sented to the Annual General Meeting. Upon the proposal 
of the CEO, the Board of Directors appoints the rest of the 
Executive Team reporting directly to the CEO and approves 
their service contracts and remuneration based on the 
recommendation of the Remuneration Committee. In 
addition, the CEO shall consult the Chair of the Board of 
Directors on the dismissal of members of the Executive 

Team reporting directly to the CEO. The number of terms 
or the age of Board members has not been limited. A 
description of the main contents of the Charter of the 
Board of Directors can be found at: https://www.terveys-
talo.com/en/company/investors/corporate-governance/
board-of-directors/. 

The Board of Directors may establish committees to 
support the Board with the preparation and performance 
of its duties and responsibilities. The Board of Directors 
determines the size and composition of such commit-
tees and approves their charters. In 2022, the Board of 
Directors convened 16 times. The average attendance rate 
at Board meetings was approx. 97 percent. The attendance 
rate of each member is shown in a separate table under 
Attendance of Board members at Board and Committee 
meetings in 2022.

Committees of the
Board of Directors
The Company’s Board of Directors has established two 
committees to improve the efficacy of the work of the 
Board: the Audit Committee and the Remuneration 
Committee.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee carries out its responsibilities 
under its Charter adopted by the Board of Directors on 
23 January 2018 and last updated on 10 February 2021. 
The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in 
performing and monitoring its supervisory duties related 
to the financial reporting process and auditing. In addition, 
the Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in 
supervising matters related to financial reporting, internal 
control, internal auditing, and risk management. The 
Audit Committee monitors and assesses the financial 
reporting system, the quality and integrity of the financial 
statements and other financial reports, and the Company’s 
financial performance. In addition, the Audit Committee 
monitors and assesses the statutory audit of the finan-
cial statements, consolidated financial statements, and 
the annual, half-year, and interim reports. The Audit 
Committee also monitors and assesses the efficiency of 
the Company’s internal control, internal auditing, and risk 
management systems and assesses the performance of 
internal auditing. Furthermore, the Audit Committee eva-
luates the qualifications and independence of the external 
auditor and, in particular, the provision of non-audit ser-
vices to the Company, prepares the proposal for the elec-
tion of the external auditor, and monitors compliance with 
laws and regulations. The Audit Committee prepares the 
proposal for the remuneration and election or re-election 
of the external auditor and submits its recommendation 
for the appointment of the external auditor to the Board 
of Directors. The Audit Committee monitors and asses-
ses how agreements and other legal acts between the 
Company and its related parties meet the requirements of 

78

the ordinary course of business and arm’s-length terms. In 
addition, the Audit Committee shall ensure that the Board 
of Directors is aware of matters which may significantly 
impact the Company’s financial condition or business ope-
rations. A description of the main contents of the Charter 
of the Audit Committee can be found at: https://www.
terveystalo.com/en/company/investors/corporate-gover-
nance/board-of-directors/. 

The Audit Committee consists of at least three members 

appointed by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee 
has a Chair, elected by the Board of Directors. The mem-
bers of the Audit Committee must meet the expertise and 
independence criteria and other criteria applicable to Audit 
Committee members of publicly listed companies in Finland. 
These provide, for example, that the majority of the Audit 
Committee members shall be independent of the Company, 
and at least one member shall be independent of the major 
shareholders of the Company. 

Kristian Pullola served as Chair of the Audit Committee, 

and Niko Mokkila and Tomas Von Rettig served as 
Committee members until 7 April 2022. As of 7 April 
2022, the Audit Committee members have comprised 
Katri Viippola and Matts Rosenberg, as well as Kristian 
Pullola, who continued as the Chair. The Audit Committee 
convened six times in the financial year 2022. The average 
attendance rate of the Committee members was 100 
percent. The attendance rate of each member is shown in 
a separate table under Attendance of Board members at 
Board and Committee meetings in 2022.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee carries out its responsibi-
lities under its Charter adopted by the Board of Directors. 
The Charter of the Remuneration Committee was adopted 
on 23 January 2018 and last updated on 10 February 
2021. The Board's Remuneration Committee prepares 
Terveystalo's Remuneration Policy for Governing Bodies 
and Remuneration Report to the Company's management. 
The Remuneration Committee prepares the appointment 
of the CEO of the Company and the rest of the senior 
management team. It also assists the Board of Directors 
with any major management reorganizations based on the 
preparation and proposals by the CEO. The Remuneration 
Committee assists the Board of Directors with the eva-
luation and remuneration of the CEO and the rest of the 
Executive Team reporting directly to the CEO, oversees the 
Company’s remuneration policies, schemes, and plans, as 
well as reviews appropriate succession planning procedu-
res for the Executive Team. A description of the main con-
tents of the Charter of the Remuneration Committee can 
be found at: https://www.terveystalo.com/en/company/
investors/corporate-governance/board-of-directors/. 

The Remuneration Committee consists of a minimum 
of three members elected by the Board of Directors from 
among its members. The members of the Remuneration 
Committee must meet the independence criteria applicable 
to such committee members of publicly listed companies 
in Finland, including that the majority of the members of 
the committee must be independent of the Company. 
Remuneration Committee members must possess the 
expertise and experience required for the performance 
of the duties and responsibilities of the Remuneration 
Committee. Desirable qualifications for members of the 

Remuneration Committee include experience in business 
management, corporate governance, human resources 
management, and personnel and executive remuneration.
The Remuneration Committee establishes its own 
schedule and meets as frequently as necessary to carry 
out its responsibilities under its Charter, and in any event 
at least twice a year. The composition of the Remuneration 
Committee was until 7 April, 2022 as follows: Kari 
Kauniskangas as the Chair and Dag Andersson, Åse Aulie 
Michelet and Katri Viippola as members. As of 7 April, 
2022 Kari Kauniskangas continued as the Chair of the 
Committee and Dag Andersson as member, while Carola 
Lemne started as a new member. Dag Andersson served 
as member of the Committee until his sudden passing 
away in fall 2022, followed by Katri Viippola's appointment 
as his successor as of 14 October 2022. Due to the sud-
den passing of Remuneration Committee member Dag 
Andersson, the Committee temporarily consisted of two 
members during a period of approximately three weeks in 
fall 2022. Due to the sudden change of circumstances and 
for a limited time, Terveystalo departed from Corporate 
Governance Code Recommendation 15 regarding the 
minimum number of Committee members. Katri Viippola 
was elected as the third member of the Remuneration 
Committee by the Board of Directors on 14 October 2022, 
following which Terveystalo complied with said recom-
mendation of the Governance Code again.

The Remuneration Committee convened seven times 
during the financial year. The average attendance rate of 
the Committee members was 96 percent. The attendance 
rate of each member is shown in a separate table under

meetings in 2022.

The operative business

The CEO, CFO, and General Counsel usually serve as 
members of the subsidiaries’ Board of Directors. From the 
perspective of business operations, the Group subsidiaries 
operate in accordance with the Group’s management sys-
tem. The Group’s operative business activities are mainly 
carried out by Suomen Terveystalo Oy, Terveystalo Julkiset 
Palvelut Oy and Terveystalo Kuntaturva Oy in Finland and 
by Feelgood Företagshälsovård AB in Sweden. Terveystalo 
Healthcare Oy is the Group’s purchasing company.

Risk management 

Risk management is part of Terveystalo’s management 
system. The Company applies a risk management policy 
adopted by the Board of Directors. The purpose of risk 
management is to ensure fulfilment of the customer pro-
mise, patient and occupational safety, high quality of the 
operations, financial performance, business continuity, a 
good public image of the Company, and corporate social 
responsibility.

Risk management is an integral part of the planning 
processes as well as the monitoring and reporting routines 
in Terveystalo Group. It is implemented in the day-to-day 
management and activities at all levels of the organization. 
Risk management must be consistent and commensu-
rable. It is important to understand the causes and conse-
quences of risks and to ensure that the risk management 
measures are correct and properly targeted.

83

The objectives of risk management  
include, among others:

•  Ensuring business continuity
• 

 Ensuring the achievement of strategic  
and operative objectives
 Managing risks associated with financial  
transactions

• 

•  Supporting decision-making
•  Ensuring top quality care and patient safety
• 

 Ensuring employees’ expertise and  
occupational safety
 Avoiding operational risks and risks of damage  
and minimizing damage if a risk is realized
 Ensuring data security, data protection,  
and environmental responsibility

• 

• 

•  Improving risk awareness within the organization
 Identifying opportunities associated with risk- 
• 
taking, improving risk tolerance
 Identifying development opportunities  
within the operations
 Gaining the trust of external and internal  
stakeholders

• 

• 

Terveystalo strives to proactively identify, analyse and 
manage major risks. Risk management is an integral part 
of management. It contributes to strategic development, 
helps managers make informed choices, puts measures 
in an order of priority, takes into account opportunities, 
uncertainties, and their effects, and distinguishes between 
alternative approaches.

The Board of Directors is responsible for risk manage-
ment and its adequacy and adopts the risk management 

policy. The CEO is responsible for organizing risk manage-
ment in the Group. The rest of the Executive Team support 
the CEO in implementing risk management, monitoring 
operational risks, assessing risks, and implementing 
measures related to risks.

Risk management process

Risks are assessed on all levels of Terveystalo Group’s orga-
nization. Terveystalo identifies risks using, for example, 
performance indicators, market statistics, effectiveness 
data, customer feedback, register data, inspection reports 
and inquiries from the authorities, occupational safety risk 
surveys, incident information, results of internal audits 
and audits, and competitor information. Terveystalo's risk 
management is assessed annually in internal and exter-
nal audits of the ISO 9001: 2015 quality system, the ISO 
14001: 2015 environmental system and the ISO 13485 
quality system for application development. 

Internal control 

In its operations, the Company applies a risk manage-
ment and internal control policy, adopted by the Board of 
Directors. The objectives of internal control related to the 
financial reporting process are to ensure that Terveystalo’s 
financial reporting is reliable; that interim reports and 
financial statements are prepared in accordance with the 
accounting principles and policies applied by Terveystalo 
and give essentially correct information of the Company’s 
finances; and that the regulations and principles of ope-
ration are complied with. Internal control is based on 

TerveystaloAnnual Report 2022 
Year 2022

Sustainability

Corporate Governance

Financials

Terveystalo’s risk management system, business culture, 
and respective practices. The Company values, Code of 
Conduct, and Group policies and principles, such as the 
risk management and internal control policy, financial 
policy, procurement policy, credit policy, disclosure 
policy, and approval authorizations, guide the internal 
control. The purpose of internal control and compliance 
is to ensure compliance with policies, procedures and 
corporate governance principles throughout the Group 
and the accuracy of financial reporting. It aims to create 
a uniform control environment by applying appropriate 
internal control principles in the various business proces-
ses. Terveystalo uses WhistleB, a reporting channel open 
for everyone. This channel enables anonymous reporting 
of observed or suspected misconduct at: www.report.
whistleb.com/terveystalo.

Generally, financial reporting-related policies are owned 
by the Chief Financial Officer. Internal control is carried out 
by the Board of Directors, Audit Committee, operational 
management and, in respect of the financial reporting 
process, the employees in financial administration. 
Terveystalo’s Board of Directors bears overall responsibility 
for internal control and risk management in the Company. 
The Board of Directors has delegated the practical imple-
mentation of an efficient control environment and control 
measures related to the reliability of financial reporting 
to the CEO. The Chief Financial Officer is responsible 
for the control environment of financial reporting. The 
CFO acts as the owner of reporting risks, reporting to 
the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors on risk 
management and internal control. Control involves various 
measures, such as the revision of financial reports, the 

balancing of accounts, subledgers, and system transfers, 
logical analyses of reported figures, and reference analyses 
of forecasts and realizations. Monitoring of monthly per-
formance in relation to the specified targets is an essential 
factor. These control measures are carried out at different 
organizational levels.

IV. Other information 
provided in the statement
Internal audit  

The primary objective of internal audit is to support the 
Board of Directors, other corporate bodies, and the mana-
gement in performing their control duties. The Company 
has outsourced internal audit to be carried out by autho-
rized public accountants. On the basis of a report drafted 
by the authorized public accountants, the Company 
adopts a plan of appropriate measures and monitors the 
fulfilment of that plan. The internal audit function reports 
to the Audit Committee on the audits carried out in accor-
dance with its annual audit plan. The report will be brought 
before the Board of Directors if deemed necessary by the 
Audit Committee.

The key principles applied in the Company’s internal 
audit are the principles of independence, objectivity and 
confidentiality. The purpose of internal audit is to produce 
impartial and independent information for the Board of 
Directors and the management. Internal audit focuses, in 
particular, on issues that are important both in the long 
and short term from the perspective of strategy, business, 
and operations. When preparing the audit plan and estab-

lishing the scope and focus areas of internal audit, the 
following matters are typically considered: business-driven 
internal audit, internal audit relating to the Company’s 
risks and strategy execution, and internal audit focusing 
on Corporate Governance and Compliance. The planning 
and risk assessment process of internal audit also includes 
reviewing the annual plans and work results of the other 
second line of defence players. In 2022, audits were con-
ducted on the pricing processes as well as on invoicing 
process. Terveystalo’s quality system has been certified in 
accordance with the ISO 9001:2015 standard. Compliance 
is assessed regularly through internal audits and audits 
conducted by an external accredited party. The Company’s 
internal quality function ensures that the organization 
complies with the quality standards in accordance with the 
certificate.

Related party transactions

To identify related party transactions, the Company 
keeps a record of the individuals and legal persons falling 
amongst its related parties. According to the Company’s 
definition, related parties include the Group companies, 
members of the Board of Directors, the CEO and the rest 
of the Executive Team, including close family members 
of the aforementioned as well as entities in which the 
aforementioned have control, joint control, or significant 
influence. In agreements and other legal acts between 
the Company and its related parties, the ordinary course 
of business of the Company and market conditions shall 
be followed. If a transaction with the Company’s related 
parties was not part of the ordinary course of business of 

the Company or if it deviated from arm’s-length terms, the 
decision on entering such related party transaction should 
be made by the Company’s Board of Directors. With regard 
to agreements or other legal acts between the Company 
and its related parties, provisions on conflicts of interest 
shall be observed, as applicable, and the persons conne-
cted to the related party in question shall not participate 
in the decision-making process regarding the related party 
transaction. 

The Company has documented guidelines to identify 
related party transactions as well as procedures to notify 
the Company thereof and to handle such transactions. The 
Company’s financial administration monitors related party 
transactions as part of the Company’s normal reporting 
and control procedures and submits regular reports on 
related party transactions to the Audit Committee. The 
Audit Committee monitors and evaluates transactions 
between the Company and its related parties to ensure 
that they are in the ordinary course of business and at 
arm’s length. Material transactions between the Company 
and its related parties are presented annually in Notes to 
the Consolidated Financial Statements.

cifies the procedures of the Company’s insider manage-
ment.

The Company has identified persons in charge of 
insider management tasks and their substitutes. The 
Company does not have a permanent, company-specific

their related parties must report to the Company and 
FIN-FSA their transactions with Terveystalo’s financial 
instruments that exceed the limit specified by FIN-FSA for 
a calendar year (EUR 5,000). In order for Terveystalo to

tion, Terveystalo has recommended that executives and 
their related parties unofficially report all transactions

Terveystalo Remuneration 
Policy of Governing Bodies

I. Introduction
This Remuneration Policy of Terveystalo Plc is the Policy 
referred to in reporting requirements of the Finnish 
Corporate Governance Code for listed companies issued 
by the Securities Market Association on November 1, 
2019. This policy presents the governance and principles 
of remuneration for governing bodies at Terveystalo 
Group. This policy has been approved by the Board of 
Directors of Terveystalo Plc, and presented to the Annual 
General Meeting in the spring 2022. 

Remuneration at Terveystalo is based on the principles 

of performance, fairness and competitiveness. These 
remuneration principles apply to all Terveystalo emp-
loyees and the purpose is to ensure that Terveystalo as 
an employer attracts motivated and competent profes-
sionals. Remuneration shall support the achievement of 
Terveystalo’s strategic goals, align management’s priorities 
with the interests of Terveystalo’s shareholders, encourage 
behaviour consistent with Terveystalo’s values, and reward 
excellent performance. 

The Company’s compensation philosophy is based on 
the underlying principle of shareholder value creation. The 
incentives are aligned with the Company’s business stra-

tegy. The objective is to reward concrete achievements in 
implementing the company’s strategy and in achieving its 
business targets. The Company’s compensation structures 
are designed to be competitive in the relevant market. 
According to the pay for performance principle, incentive 
plans place emphasis on performance to ensure that 
management achieves its goals.

Remuneration is designed to attract and retain the desi-

red talent and to motivate the employees to deliver the 
strategy and to maximize shareholder value creation. The 
targets and rewards in the incentive systems are balanced 
between long-term value creation and efficient achieve-
ment of short-term goals.

This policy describes the principles and governance 

of the remuneration paid to the Company’s Board of 
Directors and to the CEO of Terveystalo. In the event that a 
Deputy was appointed to the CEO position, the same prin-
ciples would apply to the Deputy CEO. 

The Board of Directors may make minor amendments 

to the remuneration arrangements regarding the CEO 
described in the policy for regulatory, exchange control, 
tax or administrative purposes or to take account of chan-
ges in the legislation.

II. Description of the  
decision-making process
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board reviews and prepares 
the remuneration principles for the members of the Board 
of Directors, defined in this policy. The Shareholders’ 
Nomination Board also prepares its proposal for the 
remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors 
annually. The proposal shall be based on the principles 
defined in this policy. The AGM makes the final decision 
on the Board of Directors’ remuneration. According to 
the decision of the AGM, the Chairman of the Board of 
Directors is a member of the Shareholders’ Nomination 
Board, as his/her role in providing insight regarding the 
Board of Directors’ work and composition is crucial.

The Board of Directors reviews and approves the remu-
neration principles for the CEO defined in this policy based 
on preparatory work carried out by the Board of Directors’ 
Remuneration Committee. The Board of Directors also 
decides on the salary, incentive schemes and associated 
targets of the CEO based on preparatory work carried 
out by the Board of Directors’ Remuneration Committee. 
All share-based incentive schemes are decided by the 

Board of Directors based on the preparatory work of the 
Remuneration Committee.

The CEO normally participates in the Remuneration 
Committee’s meetings, except for matters relating to the 
service terms and remuneration of the CEO.

The governance principles in decision-making on 
remuneration in the Company follow principles aimed 
at ensuring the prevention of and the management of 
conflicts of interest. The underlying principle is that the 
corporate organ which elects the respective corporate 
organ also decides on its remuneration. The Company 
observes the rules set in its Code of Conduct, the Finnish 
Companies Act and the Finnish Corporate Governance 
Code, which stipulate governance procedures and rules for 
the avoidance of conflicts of interest. The decision-making 
process described above aims at guaranteeing that the 
decisions are fair and unbiased.

IV. Description of the  
remuneration of the CEO  
Terveystalo’s approach to the remuneration of the CEO is 
that the remuneration should align the interest of the CEO 
with those of the company’s shareholders. Terveystalo 
uses various remuneration elements to attract, motivate 
and retain high performing individuals with the right skills, 
capabilities and mindset. Performance correlates with 
reward level, and this promotes sustained high perfor-
mance and focus to business targets and strategy execu-
tion. The remuneration structure and level should be com-
parable to the relevant national and industry benchmarks. 
The CEO is encouraged to accumulate and maintain a

•  The LTI performance period shall, as a rule, be no fewer than three years. Performance criteria for each plan are set by the 

Board of Directors based on the key priorities for and within the performance period. 

Discretion and claw-back:

•  The Board of Directors is entitled, subject to a particularly weighty reason, to change or cancel the incentive payout or to 

postpone its payment, and, in exceptional cases, such as intentional misstatement of financials underlying the measures,  
to recover rewards paid prior to said misconduct.

Incentive opportunity:

•  The Board of Directors decides on LTI allocation on an individual level.

•  At the maximum level, the amount of incentives paid in the same year may not exceed, at grant, 220 percent of the annual 

base salary.

TerveystaloAnnual Report 2022The procedure to be followed in the deviation from this 
Policy shall be the same as the decision-making procedure 
for the implementation of this Policy described elsewhere

ration, the decision-making may involve an annual or 
extraordinary shareholder meeting as applicable in the 
individual circumstances. The deviation and its grounds 
shall be reported in the next annual remuneration Report 
and presented to the next AGM as part thereof.

Proportion of remuneration elements

Supplementary information

The remuneration of the CEO is defined to be competitive 
with a significant part of the remuneration being perfor-
mance-based. The incentive opportunity at the maximum 
level performance of STI is 120 percent of the annual base 
salary. For the LTI, the amount of incentives paid in the 
same year may not exceed, at grant, 220 percent of the 
annual base salary.

Other key terms applicable  
to the service contract
Share ownership requirement 

To encourage building a meaningful shareholding in 
Terveystalo, the CEO is expected to retain at least 50 per-
cent of the net shares received based on the LTI plans until 
his/her share ownership in Terveystalo corresponds to at 
least his/her annual gross base salary. 

Termination of the service contract  
and severance pay

Regarding the termination of the service contract and 
severance pay of the CEO, the agreement may be ter-
minated by both parties by giving six (6) months’ notice. 
Should the Company terminate the agreement, the 
Company is required to pay an additional severance pay, 
equivalent to 12 months' base salary.

As a benchmarking approach, the Remuneration 
Committee reviews market benchmark data from Finnish 
and, where necessary, international healthcare companies 
of a similar size and complexity to Terveystalo when set-
ting total remuneration packages for the CEO. This is used 
more as a guide than a direct determinant of pay levels. 
Other factors considered include each individual’s role and 
experience, as well as Company performance and personal 
performance.

Terms for deferral and possible clawback  
of remuneration 

Clawback provisions apply to LTI and STI plan awards in 
exceptional circumstances. The Board of Directors is entit-
led, subject to a particularly weighty reason, to change or 
cancel the incentive payout or to postpone its payment, 
and, in exceptional cases, such as intentional misstate-
ment of financials underlying the measures, to recover 
rewards paid prior to said misconduct.

Previously agreed or granted awards 

The Board reserves the right to make any remuneration 
payments and/or payments for loss of office (including 
exercising any discretions available to it in connection with 
such payments), notwithstanding that they are not in line 
with the Policy set out above where the terms of the pay-
ment were agreed prior to the presentation of this Policy 
to the AGM.  

V. Temporary deviation
The Board of Directors may temporarily deviate from any 
sections of the Policy and from any contents of the Policy 
based on its full discretion in any of the circumstances and 
on any of the grounds described below:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

 a structural change (change in the Company’s corpo-
rate, group, business or organizational structure or a 
material change in its ownership structure), 
 a personnel change (such as changes in the Board of 
Directors or in the top management of the Company 
or a need to recruit a new CEO or Deputy to the CEO), 
 other exceptional or unexpected event or change or 
materially changed circumstances in the Company 
or in its business or operating environment or a 
material change in the Company’s strategy or busi-
ness plan,
 material change in the Company’s financial position 
or outlook,
 regulatory or judicial changes, changes in governme-
ntal or administrative orders or in taxation or taxation 
practice, or 
 other change or circumstances not specified above 
if the Board of Directors, after careful consideration, 
deems that a deviation is necessary or advisable in 
order to safeguard the Company’s long-term inte-
rests or sustainability such as, without limitation, 
in order to ensure the continuity of the Company’s 
management.

Remuneration Report

Terveystalo’s remuneration principles 
are based on performance, fairness 
and competitiveness. Remuneration 
supports the achievement of 
Terveystalo’s strategic goals and  
the long-term financial success of  
the Company. The remuneration  
policy and the decision-making  
process is described in more detail  
in the Remuneration Policy for 
Governing Bodies. In the Annual 
General Meeting 2022, a clear majority 
of the votes were given in favour of 
approving the Remuneration Report 
2021 and as no further aspects were 
presented, the Remuneration Report 
2022 is mainly the same.

Terveystalo’s revenue has improved steadily over the 
last five years, excluding the exceptional year 2020. 
During 2022, revenue's improvement continued, but 
profitability did not reach its targets. The weakening of 
the profitability will be visible in renumeration paid in 
the beginning of 2023, but does not affect paid remu-
neration in 2022.

The remuneration level of the Board of Directors was 
reviewed and determined to correspond to the market 
level by the decision of the AGM in 2020 and in 2022. 
In accordance with the Remuneration Policy, remu-
neration of the CEO is strongly based on performance, 
and a significant share of the overall remuneration of the 
CEO consists of short-term and long-term incentives. The 
targets of the incentive schemes are directly linked to 
the Company performance, and the Company’s positive 
financial development is reflected in the remuneration of 
the CEO in 2018 and 2019. A CEO change took place at 
the end of 2019, and in 2020, remuneration of the CEO 
exceptionally only consisted of the base salary. In 2021, 

the CEO's remuneration includes short-term incentives 
for the year 2020. As a part of the Company’s mitigation 
measures due to the corona epidemic, the CEO's short-
term incentive earning opportunity was also restricted to 
50% of the normal level.

The average salary development of employees has 
shown a rising trend. The larger increase in 2022 salary 
development originates mainly from the corporate acqui-
sitions made during the past two years. Approximately 
65% of the personnel is covered by collective agreements, 
and the general increases determined in the collective 
agreements guide the salary development of this person-
nel group.

Remuneration of the Board of Directors 
for the financial year 2022 

Terveystalo’s Annual General Meeting, held on 7 April, 
2022, resolved in accordance with the proposal of the 
Shareholders’ Nomination Board that the Chair of the 
Board of Directors be paid an annual remuneration of EUR 
87,500, the Vice Chair an annual remuneration of EUR 
52,000, the members an annual remuneration of EUR 
41,500, and the Chair of the Audit Committee EUR 52,000. 
In addition, an attendance fee of EUR 650 will be paid for 
members of the Board of Directors and Committee mem-
bers residing in Finland, EUR 1,350 for members residing 
elsewhere in Europe, and EUR 2,700 for members residing 
outside of Europe for each Board and Committee meeting 

that they attend. For Board and Committee meetings 
that are held by telephone or other electronic means, the 
attendance fee is EUR 650. Travel costs are reimbursed 
based on the company’s travel policy.

The annual remuneration of the Board is paid as a com-

bination of company shares (40%) and cash (60%). The 
Company will reimburse the transaction costs and capital 
transfer tax related to trading. Attendance fees are paid 
in cash. In 2022, an exception in paying the annual fee 
for Dag Andersson was made. Due to Andersson's death, 
paying the annual remuneration partly in shares was not 
possible for the company, and therefore the annual fee is 
paid fully in cash.  

The following table presents the remuneration paid to 

the Board of Directors during the financial year 2022:

Report of the Board of Directors 2022

Operating environment
Target markets

Demand for health services was strong in Terveystalo’s target markets throughout the year. Nevertheless, the growth 
was tempered by the lack of supply, which was also impacted by higher sickness absences compared to the compari-
son period. In Finland, the demand was more focused on short care pathways. The demand for diagnostics and other 
services related to COVID-19 decreased significantly from the comparison period due to a decline in COVID testing. In 
Sweden, the demand for occupational health services and particularly for consultation for organizational management 
and harmful use was growing. The growth of demand for digital services and remote appointments continued to be 
strong. The demand for mental health services and preventive well-being services continued to grow. 

A tight labor market and high inflation create growing pressure on operating costs, including wages. The emplo-
yment situation is strong, but significant changes can affect the demand for occupational health services. The long-
term growth prospects are good for Terveystalo’s addressable markets in Finland and Sweden; the underlying demand is 
strong, and we are well-positioned to drive growth going forward, supported by our strong market position and reputa-
tion among industry professionals of being a preferred employer.

The impacts of inflation

High inflation can be seen as upward pressure on prices in all procurement categories, and Terveystalo has actively 
negotiated with its suppliers to limit the impact of inflation on costs. The rising price of electricity has a negative impact 
on operational costs. Due to component shortages, delivery times have become longer in certain categories of pro-
ducts and materials, such as healthcare equipment. 

Skill shortages, a tight labor market, and high inflation put pressure also on wages. The private healthcare sector con-
cluded a two-year, moderate salary agreement for the period 1 May 2022 to 30 April 2024. The first wage increase of 2.0 
percent took effect on October 1, 2022. The wage increases in 2023 will be decided according to the wage increases in 
the reference sectors and the salary increase is at least 1.9 percent. 

Commercial initiatives have been and will be undertaken to mitigate the effect of inflation as a part of Terveystalo’s 

profit improvement program. The effects are visible in stages from the fourth quarter of 2022 onwards. 

98

The treatment queues, social and healthcare reform,  
and changes in the regulation

The contraction of non-urgent care in the private and public healthcare sectors during COVID-19 restrictions has 
resulted in a significant treatment gap in other illnesses. According to the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL), 
over 150,000 patients were waiting for access to non-urgent specialized care at the end of August 2022. Of those wai-
ting for treatment, over 20,000 (9,500) had been waiting for more than six months. The average waiting time for non-ur-
gent care was 65 days in August 2022. The treatment queues continued to lengthen also in Sweden. In November 
2022, close to 150,000 people in Sweden were waiting for surgery or a procedure (www.skr.se).

Under the social and healthcare reform, the responsibility for the organization of social and healthcare services will 
be transferred to the 21 well-being services counties and the City of Helsinki. The well-being services county councils, 
elected in January 2022, will decide on the well-being services county and service strategies, the principles of the 
service network, the service level of emergency services, the budget and financial planning of the well-being services 
county, and the appointment of members to governing bodies. The term of office of the county council is four years, 
commencing on March 1, 2022. In 2022, the new well-being services county councils have focused on administrative 
organization. Decisions on new material service procurements from the private sector are expected in the first half of 
2023 at the earliest.

As a result of the social welfare and healthcare reform, some of Terveystalo’s outsourcing agreements for public  
services will need to be renegotiated so that the new contractual terms will enter into force at the beginning of 2026  
at the latest. Furthermore, there will be restrictions on the subcontracting practices for public services produced as out-
sourced services, but these are not expected to have a significant impact on Terveystalo. The dismantling of the queues 
for non-urgent care in the public sector will require more extensive use of private healthcare services in the aftercare of 
the pandemic.

Cuts to Kela reimbursements for private healthcare took effect on 1 January 2023. The changes are estimated to 
impact the demand for general practitioners' and gynecologists’ appointments and imaging services. As consumers' 
general purchasing power weakens, the changes can also affect the use of other services. Cutting Kela reimbursements 
from private healthcare will most likely lengthen the queues in public healthcare, make it more difficult to dismantle 
long treatment queues, increase the costs of the public sector, and make the work of newly established well-being  
services counties more difficult.

The impacts of the war in Ukraine

The indirect impacts of the war in Ukraine on Terveystalo are assessed to be minimal, as Terveystalo does not have  
business operations in, or with, countries that are subject to sanctions. Indirect impacts arise from supply chain  
disruptions, high inflation, and potential disruptions in the financial markets. The indirect economic impacts are  
already visible in weakened consumer confidence and purchasing power. The impacts may also have a delayed eco- 
nomic impact through declining employment, which could negatively impact the demand for Terveystalo’s services.

Market outlook 
•  Demand for health services continues to be strong. However, demand is focused on short care pathways  

and services, the growth of which is limited by supply. A tight labor market and high inflation create  
growing pressure on operating costs, including wages.

•  The demand for Covid-19 related services is expected to decrease and the demand for digital services  

to continue to be strong.

•  Significant employment and consumer confidence changes may be reflected in demand.

These views are based on the expected development of demand for Terveystalo’s services within the next six months, 
compared with the past six months.

Financial targets
Terveystalo’s financial targets are: 
•  Annual revenue growth of at least 5 percent through organic growth and acquisitions 
•  Adjusted EBITA margin of at least 12–13 percent in the medium to long term

Revenue 
Revenue for 2022 increased by 9.0 percent year-on-year and amounted to EUR 1,259.1 (1,154.6) million. The revenue 
in Finland increased by 4.3 percent. Acquisitions during the financial year 2022 increased revenue by approximately 
18.3 million euros. The revenue of the Sweden and others segment came to EUR 92.8 (36.9) million. The Swedish opera-
tions have been consolidated into Terveystalo’s reporting as of 1 July 2021.

tomers increased by 1.9 percent. Shorter care chains and appointments were emphasized in the sales mix. There was 
strong growth in revenue from insurance companies. Revenue from public sector customers increased by 4.1 percent. 
Revenue from service sales and occupational healthcare to public sector customers increased by 9.8 percent mainly 
due to the occupational health business that increased through acquisitions and new agreements. Revenue from 
staffing services grew by 2.4 percent with demand being strong, but the shortage of physicians restricted the growth. 
Revenue from the outsourcing business increased by 0.9 percent, mainly driven by the child welfare services business. 
The demand for general practitioners’ appointments was at a high level throughout the year, but the growth of reve-
nue was restricted by the limited supply of physicians. Appointments relating to various acute infections and ear, nose, 
and throat diseases grew substantially year-on-year. Visits to laboratory services decreased substantially year-on-year as 
COVID testing decreased. A total of approximately 335,000 (500,000) COVID-19 tests were performed during the fourth 
quarter, a decrease of 33 percent year-on-year1).  During the year, acute medical care and general practitioner services 
were emphasized in the sales mix. These involve fewer laboratory and diagnostic services than specialist medical ser-
vices with longer care chains. Revenue from surgical operations grew substantially year-on-year. Revenue from imaging 
services grew slightly year-on-year. Demand for well-being services remained strong, with revenue increasing by 9 per-
cent to EUR 117.1 (107.9) million. The number of digital appointments2) grew by 29 percent to approximately 1.4 (1.0) 
million appointments. There were 253 (253) working days in 2022.

Revenue breakdown
Corporate customers

Corporate customers constitute Terveystalo’s largest customer group. Terveystalo’s corporate customers consist of 
the company’s occupational health customers, excluding municipal occupational healthcare customers, which are 
included in the public sector customer group. The company provides statutory occupational health services and other 
occupational health and well-being services for corporate customers of all sizes. Terveystalo is the largest provider of 
occupational health services in Finland in terms of revenue and the number of end users. Terveystalo provides occupa-
tional healthcare services for over 27,000 companies in Finland, which have approximately 670,000 occupational health 
customers.  

Revenue from corporate customers for 2022 increased by 6.2 percent and amounted to EUR 511.7 (481.7) million. 
Revenue from preventive occupational health services1) as well as acute infection and other illness-related appoint-
ments increased year-on-year. The revenue from laboratory services declined substantially year-on-year as COVID-19 
testing decreased. Approximately 265,000 (350,000) COVID-19 tests were performed for corporate customers during 
the year, a decrease of 25 percent year-on-year. The average prices of tests decreased year-on-year. The revenue from 
surgical operations and imaging services grew year-on-year. The revenue for well-being services2) increased by approxi-
mately 10 percent year-on-year. The growth continued to be the strongest in mental well-being services. Digital occu-
pational health appointments grew by 39 percent year-on-year and exceeded 1,100,000 (793,000) appointments. The 
number of end customers in occupational healthcare increased year-on-year.

1)  The statutory task of occupational healthcare is to prevent work-related adverse health effects. Preventive services include, for example, 
workplace surveys to examine the conditions and exposures at the workplace; health examinations; suggested measures to improve work 
conditions and to promote the employees’ ability to work; guidance and counselling; participation in the planning and implementation of 
measures that maintain workability promotion of coping at work and, when necessary, referrals to rehabilitation in case of reduced work abil-
ity; guidance in first aid preparedness at the workplace; and assessment and monitoring of the quality and impact of occupational healthcare 
activities. 

2)  Well-being services include, for example, physiotherapy, mental well-being services (psychologists and psychotherapists), nutritional therapy, 

workability coaching, and massage services.

Private customers

Private customers are Terveystalo’s second-largest customer group. Private customers include private individuals and 
families. The company’s strong brand, easy access to services without long waiting times, extensive service portfolio for 
private customers, families, and senior citizens, and personalized digital services give Terveystalo a competitive edge 
over other private operators and public healthcare services and encourage customers to invest in their health. Services 
for private customers are paid for either by the customers themselves or by their insurance companies.

Revenue from private sector customers for 2022 increased by 1.9 percent year-on-year and amounted to EUR 339.4 
(333.2) million. The number of appointments grew year-on-year. Short care chains, acute medical care, and general 
practitioner services were emphasized in the sales mix during the year. The growth of revenue was restricted by limited 
supply. Appointments relating to various acute infections and ear, nose, and throat diseases grew year-on-year. The 
revenue from specialist medical services in fields such as orthopedics, gynecology, and dermatology grew year-on-year. 
The revenue from laboratory services declined substantially year-on-year as COVID-19 testing decreased. Approximately 
23,000 (86,000) COVID-19 tests were performed for private customers during the year, a decrease of 73 percent year-
on-year. The revenue from imaging services was flat year-on-year. The revenue from surgical operations grew subs-
tantially year-on-year due to strong revenue from insurance companies. The revenue from well-being services, such 
as mental well-being and physical therapy services, grew by 5 percent year-on-year. Demand for oral health services 
returned to growth during the second half of the year and revenue grew slightly year-on-year. The number of digital 
appointments decreased by 22 percent year-on-year and was approximately 84,000 (108,000). 

Public sector customers

Terveystalo’s s public sector customer group consists of Finnish public sector organizations. Terveystalo’s broad 
nationwide platform, digital offering, good reputation, and established brand, as well as its thorough expertise and 
experience in healthcare services throughout the chain of care, make Terveystalo an attractive partner for the public 
sector. The services offered to public sector customers include full and partial outsourcing, healthcare staffing services, 
specialized care services, other healthcare services as well as occupational health services for municipalities, municipal 
federations, and hospital districts. Occupational health services covered approximately 90,000 persons.

Revenue from public sector customers for 2022 increased by 4.1 percent year-on-year and amounted to EUR 315.2  
(302.8) million.

Revenue from the outsourcing business increased by 0.9 percent to EUR 122.2 (121.1) million. The revenue growth  

came mainly from the child welfare services business. 

Revenue from staffing services increased by 2.4 percent to EUR 89.8 (87.6) million. The demand for staffing services 

remained strong, but the growth of revenue was restricted by the limited supply of physicians. The demand for nurse 
staffing services also remained strong, even though the demand for services related to COVID-19 decreased. 

Revenue from service sales, as well as services provided for municipal occupational health customers and other 
public sector customers, increased by 9.8 percent to EUR 103.3 (94.0) million mainly due to the occupational health 
business that increased through acquisitions and new agreements. Sales of COVID-19-related services decreased year-
on-year. Approximately 49,000 (65,000) COVID-19 tests1) were performed for public sector customers during the year, a 
decrease of 26 percent year-on-year. In addition to testing, Terveystalo served as a partner to public healthcare services 
in sample collection. Digital appointments grew by 38 percent to almost 184,000 (133,000) appointments. Revenue 
from well-being services grew by 11 percent year-on-year. 

1) Excludes sample collection services

Sweden and others

In 2021, Terveystalo expanded its operations to the Swedish market by acquiring Feelgood and becoming one of the 
leading occupational health operators in Sweden. Terveystalo has approximately 780 employees in Sweden, serving 
customers digitally and in person at approximately 155 locations. The company provides occupational health, mana-
gement development, and substance abuse prevention services as well as digital private healthcare and well-being 
services. Terveystalo serves approximately 8,300 corporate customers in Sweden and has approximately 1.2 million 
employees covered by occupational health. In addition to Sweden, Terveystalo operates on a small scale in Estonia and 
the Netherlands. 

The external revenue of the Sweden and others segment for 2022 amounted to EUR 92.8 (36.9) million.

Demand continued to be strong, particularly in consultation for organizational management and harmful use. 

Revenue increased mainly because of acquisitions.

The Swedish operations were consolidated into Terveystalo’s reporting as of July 1, 2021.

Financial performance   
The Group’s 2022 adjusted operating profit before interest, taxes, amortization, and impairment losses (EBITA) decrea-
sed by 25.4 percent to EUR 105.2 (141.0) million, representing 8.4 percent (12.2) of revenue. Profitability was reduced 
year-on-year due to the decline in COVID testing, change in the sales mix towards a larger share of appointments, and 
increased costs. Material expenses and service purchases increased by 7.5 percent year-on-year and amounted to EUR 
525.7 (488.9) million. Employee benefit expenses increased by 20.3 percent year-on-year and amounted to EUR 455.0 
(378.2)  
million. Expenses were increased by personnel costs attributable to acquisitions (including Feelgood). Personnel expen-
ses also increased due to substantially higher sickness absences compared to the comparison period, recruitment, and 
an increase in appointment visits, as well as salary increases. Other operating expenses increased by 25.9 percent  
to EUR 112.3 (89.2) million mainly due to acquisitions (including Feelgood), and higher costs related to IT, marketing, 
M&A, and premises. 

Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 13.6 percent year-on-year to EUR 178.0 (206.1) million. 
The adjusted operating profit (EBIT) amounted to EUR 73.4 (114.4) million. Operating profit (EBIT) came to EUR 33.9 

(110.1) million. Operating profit (EBIT) was significantly impacted by an approximately EUR 29 million impairment loss 
relating to other intangible assets. Terveystalo is modernizing its basic IT systems in stages. The basic IT system deve-
lopment project portfolio contains several sub-projects in different stages of readiness, some of which were decided to 
be suspended. These projects are not expected to go into production, as earlier planned and related impairment was 
considered necessary. Other intangible assets capitalized in the balance sheet relating to these projects have been 
impaired.  The impairment loss has no effect on the company's cash flow or adjusted operating profit (EBIT).

Net financial expenses decreased to EUR 2.9 (9.0) million mainly due to an increase in the fair value of interest rate 
hedges. Profit before tax was EUR 30.9 (100.7) million. Income tax expenses amounted to EUR 6.5 (20.3) million. Profit 
for the period was EUR 24.4 (80.4) million, and earnings per share were EUR 0.19 (0.63). 

Cash flow from operating activities decreased to EUR 140.9 (195.2) million. Lower profit, decrease in accounts 
payable and other working capital-related payables and higher taxes paid had a negative effect on the cash flow from 
operating activities while the change in trade receivables had a positive effect.

Cash flow from investing activities was EUR -93.9 (-108.1) million. The difference vs. the comparison period is mainly 
due to the fewer acquisitions, the effect of which was reduced by an increase in investments in tangible and intangible 
assets. 

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR -44.6 (-126.1) million. The change from the comparison period 
was mainly due to the differences in withdrawals and repayments of long-term and short-term loans, related to e.g. the 
loan withdrawn from The Nordic Investment Bank (NIB), as well as acquisitions of non-controlling interests and own 
shares during the comparison period.

The Sweden and others segment’s 2022 adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, and impairment 
losses (EBITA) amounted to EUR 2.8 (0.8) million, representing 3.0 (2.1)  percent of revenue. Revenue growth improved 
profitability, while costs related to professional resources and other activities, increased by inflation and rapid growth, 
had a negative impact on profitability.

Financial position 
Terveystalo’s liquidity position is good. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the financial period amounted to  
EUR 40.2 (38.1) million. The total assets of the Group amounted to EUR 1,479.4 (1,448.6) million. 

Equity attributable to owners of the parent company totalled EUR 592.0 (608.9) million. The decrease was mainly  
due to the payment of dividends. The dividends paid by Terveystalo for the 2021 financial period totalled EUR 0.28 per 
share (or approximately EUR 35.4 million), and they were paid in two equal tranches on 20 April 2022 and 19 October 
2022.  Gearing (including lease liabilities) was 95.7 (85.2) percent and net debt amounted to EUR 566.6 (519.0) million. 
The average maturity of Terveystalo's loans was 2.3 (2.0) years, and the average interest rate was 1.2 (1.0) percent at 

the end of 2022. During the financial period, the company fulfilled the covenant requirement included in its financing 
agreements reflecting relative indebtedness. 

During the third quarter, the company signed an agreement for a long-term loan of EUR 120 million. The loan has 
been drawn and the company’s short-term loan of EUR 70 million has been repaid during the fourth quarter. The loan  
is a bullet loan with a three-year maturity. 

During the second quarter, The Nordic Investment Bank (NIB) and Terveystalo agreed on a long-term loan of  
EUR 50 million for financing the company's investments in its digital healthcare services and applications during 
2022–2025. The loan has been drawn in full by the end of the review period. 

During the first quarter, the company signed an agreement for a EUR 100 million domestic commercial paper pro-
gram and issued its first commercial papers under the program. During the second quarter, the company expanded the 
program to a EUR 200 million multi-bank program. Under the program, the company may issue commercial papers with 
a maturity of less than one year. During the first quarter, the company also signed a financing agreement that includes a 
credit facility of EUR 40 million and an uncommitted credit facility of EUR 80 million. 

At the end of the financial period, the unused part of credit based on financing agreements and bank accounts with  

a credit facility amounted to EUR 99.6 (55.5) million.  

Return on equity for the financial period was 4.1 (13.6) percent. The equity ratio was 40.2 (42.1) percent. 

Seasonal variation and the impact  
of the number of business days
Terveystalo’s revenue from corporate and private customers has typically been lower during the vacation seasons, parti-
cularly in July and August. The number of business days influences the revenue and earnings development, particularly 
when comparing quarterly performance. Because of the seasonal nature of business, the required net working capital 
varies during the year. Variation is caused by the timing of pension and VAT payments, vacation pay obligations, and 
service fees related to occupational healthcare, etc.

Investments and acquisitions
Net investments* in January–December 2022, including M&A, amounted to EUR 94.1 (125.4) million. The Group’s 
net capital expenditure, excluding M&A, amounted to EUR 60.0 (42.6) million. The investments consisted mainly of 
investments in digital application and service development, IT system projects, medical equipment, and the network. 
The relative share of intangible investments in gross investments decreased year-on-year. 

Terveystalo made several acquisitions to complement its business portfolio during 2022 by acquiring Vantaan 

Työterveys Oy, Suomen Fysiogeriatria Oy and its subsidiaries (physiotherapy and occupational therapy), Lapin 
Liikuntaklinikka Oy (physiotherapy), OMT-Klinikka Kokkola Oy (physiotherapy), Into Terveys Oy (physiotherapy), Kunnon 
Syke Oy (physiotherapy) and FysioProfessionals Oy’s operations (physiotherapy), Hammasrasti’s operations (oral 
health), Ludus Oy Tutkimus- ja Kuntoutuspalvelut (rehabilitation), Hymyn paikka Oy’s operations (oral health), Saimaan 
Urheilufysioterapia Oy (physiotherapy) and Somia Reality Oy (chat and video connection solutions) in Finland. In 
Sweden, Feelgood acquired Länshälsan Uppsala AB (occupational health), Nämndemansgården AB and its subsidiaries 
(addiction treatment), and Jobbhälsan i Norr AB:n (occupational health). 

* Net investments do not include increases in right-of-use assets related to leases for business premises. Net investments include the acquisi-

tion of non-controlling interests.

Development expenses
Capitalized development expenses in 2022 were EUR 16.4 (9.7) million and were included in other intangible assets.

Profit improvement program  
and change in operating model  
Terveystalo announced on 14 October 2022 that it strengthens the implementation of its growth strategy by launching 
a program to speed up the achievement of strategic and financial goals. The program consists of strategic and opera-
tional initiatives to increase revenue and improve profitability in line with the company's financial targets. Terveystalo’s 
financial targets are intact: The company is aiming for at least 5 percent revenue growth and an adjusted EBITA margin 
of 12–13 percent.

To strengthen long-term value creation, the focus on high medical quality, and the execution of the program, 

Terveystalo has changed its operating model and organizational structure. The implemented changes clarify roles and 
responsibilities, strengthen the independent and efficient management of separate businesses, and strengthen the 
implementation of intact care pathways and high-quality care. 

The new organization came into force at the beginning of 2023, and it consists of three business areas: Healthcare 
Services, Portfolio Businesses, and Swedish business. In Healthcare Services, Terveystalo targets high profitability and 
growth exceeding the market growth. In Portfolio Businesses, the company aims for independent value creation. In 
Sweden, Terveystalo seeks strong, profitable growth in the medium term.

Program content and goals
The program aims for an inflation-adjusted, annualized (run-rate) EBITA improvement of at least 50 million euros by the 
end of 2024. Most of the targeted benefits are estimated to be realized already in 2023. 

The costs related to the program are estimated to be 25-30 million euros. The costs are related to restructuring and 

advisory fees. Advisory fees are tied to the results achieved by the program. The costs of the program are treated as 
items affecting comparability.

The measures implemented by the end of 2022 are estimated to have an annual run-rate impact on the profitability 

of around 11 million euros. The costs of the program treated as items affecting comparability were 4.9 million euros.

tiative and sustainable development goals. The company respects all internationally recognized human rights. 

Terveystalo’s systematic sustainability management aims to ensure that the company achieves its sustainability 
targets. The continuous improvement model ensures that Terveystalo’s services will continue to create value for custo-
mers in the future. 

The most significant risks related to material sustainability themes are assessed and sought to be mitigated as 
part of the company's overall risk management process. There is a constant shortage of educated professionals in 
the industry, while the need and demand for health and well-being services are growing. The main risks are related to 
the availability of health care professionals and thus the access to care. The aim is to mitigate these risks by, among 
other things, automating routine tasks, utilizing technology, and allocating resources according to the need for care. In 
addition, the company continues to strive to strengthen its position as the most attractive workplace in the industry by 
developing, among other things, multi-professional cooperation, and leadership.

The table below is a summary of the key aspects, targets, and achievements of Terveystalo’s sustainability efforts in 

its Finnish operations in 2022.

1)   Between 2023 and 2030, we will compensate for any remaining greenhouse gas emissions by investing in certified carbon dioxide emission compensation projects. Our aim is to eventually discontinue compensation measures and to achieve zero emissions in our own operations by 2030. In 
2022 emissions were not compensated due to cost savings. The calculation of Scope 2 emissions is market-based. The exceptional electricity market disturbances forced Terveystalo to change its electricity supplier in the middle of the year, and because of the high market price of electricity, 
no green electricity was purchased for the rest of the year. The calculation of the market-based figure is based on the emission factor of the electricity purchased by Terveystalo in Finland, while the location-based figure is calculated according to a factor based on the source distribution of local 
energy production. The amount of green electricity from the electricity purchased in Sweden has been calculated according to the average share of green electricity in the Swedish market, since supplier-specific information is not available. The energy consumption and carbon footprint figures 
for 2022 also include operations in Sweden. Comparison years only include Finland.

Good health and well-being 
Quality is an inseparable part of Terveystalo’s corporate responsibility. The entire Terveystalo staff is responsible for 
ensuring that our customers receive appropriate, effective, and safe high-quality care. The cornerstones of Terveystalo’s 
quality assurance system are patient safety and the national legislation governing the industry. Quality comprises clini-
cal, operational, customer, and professional experienced quality. Our quality assurance system is a management system 
that provides a framework for managing quality and effectiveness at all levels of the organization.

The strategic priority areas, joint processes, and measurability guide towards consistent high quality. Continuous 
improvement of operations is an essential part of our quality efforts. The quality work aims to ensure the availability of 
our services, safeguard and improve patient safety, provide an excellent and constantly improving customer experience, 
implement data protection and information security, comply with recommendations, and develop the effectiveness of 
treatment. The quality steering group monitors the achievement of the quality objectives quarterly using quality indica-
tors.

Patient safety is the foundation for quality in health care

Clinical quality is a key element of Terveystalo’s quality efforts that is continuously monitored and developed. Clinical 
quality refers to the patient receiving the right treatment at the right time and in the right manner, and that treatment 
has no avoidable adverse effects. Service quality, safety, customer orientation, and productivity are ensured through 
consistent operating methods, the continuous training of experts as well as modern premises and technology. Patient 
safety is managed by monitoring the number of procedures and clinic-specific post-surgery infections, hazardous 
events, official requests for clarifications, and the decisions of the Patient Insurance Center, among other measures. 
Terveystalo ensures the safety and effectiveness of the provided pharmacotherapy through medication plans, operating 
guidelines, and a basic range of drugs. In 2022 reimbursed patient claims / appointments with a physician were 0.0016 
(0.0019) percent and near misses/hazardous incidents were 56.9 (50.0) percent. 

Each year, the themes, priorities, and strategy of patient safety at Terveystalo are chosen by the Group’s patient 
safety team and confirmed by the quality steering group. In 2022, the patient safety themes were unacknowledged 
laboratory results, drug maintenance permits and drug treatment plans, faster identification, and notification of hazar-
dous incidents, and sharing information on the handling of and actions related to hazardous incidents. 

The clear structures and strategy of patient safety are aimed at effective cooperation to improve patient safety 
within clinics, throughout the organization, with the supervisory authorities, and particularly in practical work with 
patients.

A good patient safety culture means an open atmosphere in which employees can highlight any shortcomings or 
hazards (near misses/hazardous incidents) they observe in their work treating patients, without fear of sanctions or 
blame. Shortcomings and hazardous incidents are addressed openly and carefully to ensure that the issue does not 
reoccur. In 2022, Terveystalo launched a new patient and customer safety online course. The course is mandatory for 
all employees working with patient care and persons in positions with responsibility for patient safety. The course is also 
recommended for private practitioners working in Terveystalo. 

The quality index measures clinical and experienced quality 

Terveystalo continuously develops its services, the quality, and effectiveness of provided care, and the service expe-
rience of customers. Clinical, experienced, and process results are measured based on international best practices. 
Terveystalo uses a quality index that consists of four components: high clinical quality, availability of care, preventive 
care, and experienced quality from the professional’s perspective and the patient’s perspective. Terveystalo’s quality 
index is comprised of seven key indicators: use of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist in surgical operations, prescriptions 
for drugs affecting the central nervous system relative to the number of physician’s appointments, duration of sickness 
absence issued on the day of operation for repair of the rotator cuff and the anterior cruciate ligament, percentage 
of preventive work of occupational health appointments, availability of care as measured by T3 (the third available 
appointment), Net Promoter Score (NPS) for appointments, employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS).

In 2022, Terveystalo continued to develop the quality and effectiveness of the reporting. Terveystalo publishes a set 

of quality indicators, which is updated continuously on the company’s website.

Use of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist in surgical operations

Terveystalo performs surgeries in its network of 18 hospitals. The WHO Surgical Safety Checklist is systematically 
applied before the start of each procedure. It is a standard list of questions to check safety issues relevant for the 
operation. In 2022, the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist was used in 98.9 (99.8) percent of the operations performed.

Prescriptions for drugs affecting the central nervous system relative  
to the number of physician’s appointments

When used appropriately, drugs affecting the central nervous system are effective and necessary. However, because 
of their adverse effects, their use requires careful discretion by a physician. Terveystalo has a special project aimed at 
promoting the safe use of drugs affecting the central nervous system according to clinical guidelines in patient care. 
To harmonize prescription practices, detailed guidelines for prescribing drugs affecting the central nervous system 
have been prepared based on legislation, Current Care Guidelines, Smart to Avoid Recommendations, guidelines issued 
by the National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health, and operating models proven in clinical work. In 2022, 
at Terveystalo clinics prescriptions for drugs affecting the central nervous system were written for 4.0 (4.3) percent of 
visits to a physician.

Duration of sickness absence issued on the day of operation for  
repair of the rotator cuff and the anterior cruciate ligament

Terveystalo’s surgical operations aim to provide swift high-quality care pursuant to care criteria to quickly restore the 
patient’s functional capacity and ability to work. Terveystalo systematically develops the treatment chain for its surgery 
patients. The aim is to enable faster recovery and return to work. Correctly prepared surgery implemented without delay 
as well as a plan for early rehabilitation and return to work play a key role in this. The average length of sickness absence 
issued on the day of operation for surgical repair of the rotator cuff and the anterior cruciate ligament was 30 (32) days 
in 2022. 

Percentage of preventive work of occupational health appointments

Work not carried out is expensive for Finnish companies. Therefore, it pays to invest in work ability management 
through preventive measures. Effective work ability management requires that organizations know what kinds of  
risks to work ability they manage. To support management, Terveystalo surveys the organisation's health and work  
ability risks through targeted health examinations. As part of occupational health examinations, an electronic, scien- 
tifically validated health survey is always carried out as a self-assessment of employees. Based on the survey, possible 
risks related to health and work ability can be identified. With the survey, measures can be targeted particularly to  
those with significant risks. In 2022, preventive work accounted for 69.6 (70.2) percent of Terveystalo's occupational 
health check-ups.

Availability of care as measured by T3 (the third available appointment), clinics

Terveystalo continuously develops the availability of care by managing the balance between supply and demand as well 
as by developing digital services and the work of professionals. The availability of care is measured by the T3 indicator, 
which is the number of days until the third available non-urgent appointment at Terveystalo clinics. The T3 indicator for 
appointments with a physician was 1.93 (1.61) in 2022. In addition to physical appointments, the availability of care is 
enhanced by digital general practitioner appointments available 24/7, with an average waiting time of seconds. In addi-
tion, digital mental well-being services also lower the threshold for seeking treatment.

Net Promoter Score (NPS) for appointments

Terveystalo aims to stand out by providing an excellent experience in all customer encounters. The company develops 
its services by listening to customers and utilizing technology. NPS (Net Promoter Score) is used as the most important 
indicator of customer satisfaction. Terveystalo collects feedback with SMS and browser-based surveys and is conti-
nuously adding NPS measurements at new customer encounter points. In 2022, the NPS for Terveystalo’s appoint-
ments was 82.7 (83.0). The NPS for hospital services remained at a high level of 95.1 (94.7). In 2022, the collection of 
personal customer feedback was started in addition to unit-specific feedback.

Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS)

Terveystalo aims to be the most attractive workplace for professionals. The professional survey is one of Terveystalo’s 
most important tools for improving internal procedures and supervisor work. The survey is aimed at all of Terveystalo’s 
professionals, including private practitioners. In the employee survey, the employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) is used 
as a key indicator of well-being and coping at work. The eNPS figure indicates the proportion of employees and private 
practitioners who would recommend Terveystalo as a workplace to others. In the 2022 professional survey, the eNPS 
recommendation index was 29 (32). Among the strengths of Terveystalo are the activities of work communities and 
cooperation in teams, as well as the work of immediate supervisors. In the development of professional experience,  
the aim is to nurture these identified strengths. The aim is to have an eNPS recommendation index of 31 by 2025.

Terveystalo’s care pathways support the customer’s self-care

Science-based care guidance is developed at Terveystalo with the help of common care pathways. Care pathways  
are defined by Terveystalo as ways of treating the disease or condition for which the customer has sought treatment  
based on the Current Care Guidelines and other generally accepted treatment guidelines. 

The aim is to support professionals and customers in designing and implementing more effective care by making  

the choices in accordance with the care pathway easy in everyday life. Care pathways support the customer's self- 
care and care progress. The first care pathways defined by Terveystalo were introduced in 2021. At the end of 2022, 
there were care pathways for the treatment of non-specific lower back pain, depression and anxiety, insomnia, reflux, 
vitreous detachment, and children’s lower respiratory tract infection, and a total of 360,000 care pathways were acti-
vated in the Terveystalo app.

Excellent availability of primary health services  

Fast and timely access to care is one of the biggest challenges of Finnish primary health care. Terveystalo has developed 
health centres’ operating models over the longer term to ensure easy access to care. The goal is a health centre with no 
queues, one that maintains a high level of clinical quality while delivering a good customer and employee experience.
Terveystalo's expertise includes all the service areas of public primary health care: health centre services, services 

for families with children and the elderly, oral health services, and services for adults and special interest groups. 
Terveystalo has systematically improved the access to care and the quality of care and regularly monitors operational 
data at the health centres where services are provided by Terveystalo. 

Terveystalo produced the health centre services of 16 municipal health centres in 2022. In 2022, the average T3 

time (the third available appointment) describing the availability of non-urgent appointments to a physician in our 
health centres was 12.0 (6.5) days and the T3 time to a nurse was 2.0 (1.0) days. The target is less than 7 days to see 
a physician and less than 1 day to see a nurse. The availability of care was excellent nationwide at our health centres 
throughout the year. Queues for oral health care have also remained at a good level in Terveystalo's 12 outsourced 
dental clinics. The average T3 time for non-urgent dentist appointments was 35 (35) days. NPS, which measures the 
customer satisfaction of health centres, was 80 (80).

Ethical business
Values and ethics are emphasized in Terveystalo’s work through the requirements of the sector. Terveystalo’s business 
is guided by legislation governing the sector and private health care services as well as the requirements set by autho-
rities. The work of healthcare professionals is also guided by the ethical standards of professional groups. In addition, 
Terveystalo’s own Code of Conduct provides an overarching guideline that is shared by everyone at Terveystalo. The 
Code of Conduct addresses a wide range of topics, including anti-corruption and bribery, compliance with fair compe-
tition and environmental requirements, privacy protection, patient safety, employee equality, non-discrimination, and 
freedom of association.

Training to comply with the Code of Conduct and ethical requirements

Terveystalo constantly develops its compliance program and the related processes and controls, so that they respond 
to changes in our operating environment. During 2022, Terveystalo also strengthened its compliance resources.
Terveystalo has online training on ethical guidelines for everyone at the company. There are separate online training 
courses tailored for those in administrative work and clinical work, taking into account their different operating envi-
ronments. The online training was last updated in the fall of 2021, and it is mandatory for all Terveystalo employees. 
Terveystalo is currently renewing the training package by, among other things, improving the user experience of the 
learning platform and the interactivity of the training, as well as tailoring the contents in a targeted manner. The new 
compliance training is planned to be introduced during 2023. The purpose of the courses is to build an understanding 
of why compliance and ethical responsibility are important and how they are related to the day-to-day actions and 
decisions of everyone at Terveystalo. A further goal of the training is to create a better understanding of key comp-
liance themes related to ethics, including fair competition, the avoidance of conflicts of interest, the prevention of 
bribery, data protection, and reporting misconduct, as well as to further develop our compliance culture. In 2022, 9,031 
Terveystalo employees (6,993 salaried employees, 2,038 private practitioners) completed the training and received a 
passing grade. The goal is that 100 percent of employees complete the Code of Conduct training.

Anti-corruption and anti-bribery

The responsibility of suppliers is ensured by the Supplier Code of Conduct

In the area of anti-corruption and anti-bribery, Terveystalo complies with the law and other applicable regulations. 
Terveystalo is also committed to the UN Global Compact initiative and its anti-corruption principles. Terveystalo’s ope-
rations are also guided by the company’s Code of Conduct. The prevention of corruption is included in Terveystalo’s 
Code of Conduct, which addresses the giving and accepting of gifts and hospitality, sponsorships, accepting and making 
donations, understanding and avoiding conflicts of interest as well as the rules pertaining to lobbying. At Terveystalo, 
gifts or other benefits that could affect business decisions or have considerable personal or financial value are not 
offered, given, requested, or accepted. Terveystalo does not make financial contributions to political parties or fund the 
election campaigns of individual candidates. No incidents of corruption were reported in 2022. Terveystalo continues 
to develop its anti-corruption and anti-bribery compliance program and related processes to reflect the changes that 
have occurred in our environment. Terveystalo also works to ensure compliance with sanctions laws and regulations.  In 
2022, Terveystalo introduced new controls that support third-party risk management.

Respecting human rights

Terveystalo does not tolerate any form of discrimination, harassment, bullying, racism, or inappropriate treatment,  
nor does Terveystalo condone the use of child labour, any form of forced labour or other human rights violations in 
its own operations or its supply chain. Terveystalo respects the human rights set out in the UN Declaration of Human 
Rights as well as the workers’ rights defined by the International Labour Organization (ILO) and related international 
conventions. The company is committed to the UN Global Compact initiative and its principles pertaining to human 
rights and labour rights. Terveystalo’s suppliers are also expected to comply with these principles and respect inter- 
nationally recognized human rights. Principles related to human rights are included in Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct  
and Supplier Code of Conduct.

Each year, Terveystalo buys services, materials, and supplies for its clinics from approximately 4,000 suppliers. Conse-
quently, the network of service providers and suppliers of goods – and good supplier cooperation – play a key role in our 
operations. Terveystalo wants contractual service providers and suppliers of goods to be aware of Terveystalo’s signif-
icant role in society. Terveystalo also wants suppliers to commit to taking responsibility for the economic, social, and en-
vironmental impacts of their operations. To ensure the responsible conduct of suppliers, contractual suppliers and sup-
pliers participating in tendering processes have to approve the Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes guidelines and 
requirements pertaining to anti-corruption and bribery, human rights, fundamental rights at work, occupational health 
and safety, taxation, and environmental responsibility. At the end of 2022, 80 (80) percent of suppliers representing 80 
percent of Terveystalo’s total procurement volume had approved the Supplier Code of Conduct. 

Ensuring data protection and information security for patients 

Privacy protection is a core value for Terveystalo. At Terveystalo, everyone’s privacy is respected. Special attention is 
paid to the appropriate and legally compliant processing of personal data. The company provides its personnel with trai-
ning and instructions on the processing of personal data and emphasizes the particular confidentiality and protection of 
patient data. The realization of data protection is the responsibility of everyone who works for Terveystalo.

The digitalization of health care presents significant opportunities for improving the availability and effectiveness of 
care as well as the early identification of risks. Terveystalo has made significant investments in the development of digi-
tal services and tools. As digital services increase in importance and change the industry, the requirements concerning 
data protection and information security increase accordingly.

Terveystalo stores patient information in information security-certified patient information systems. Terveystalo’s 

patient information systems used in Finland are category A systems and they have undergone information security 
certification in accordance with the regulations related to providing Kanta services. In addition, Terveystalo’s data pro-
tection and information security are regularly audited internally and by a third party according to the ISO 9001:2015 
certification.

Terveystalo applies the appropriate physical, technical, and administrative protection measures to protect data from 

misuse. These measures include, among others, control and filtering of network traffic, use of encryption techniques 
and safe data centres, appropriate access control, controlled granting of access rights and supervision of their use, 
giving instructions to staff participating in personal data processing and risk management related to the planning, 
implementation, and maintenance of our services. Terveystalo chooses its subcontractors carefully and uses agree-
ments and other arrangements to ensure that they process data in compliance with the law and good data protection 
practices.

Responsible work
Competent and committed personnel form the foundation for Terveystalo’s operations. There are shortages of compe-
tent professionals in many places, and the most significant risks in the line of operation related to personnel are related 
to the availability and retention of competent professionals. To manage these risks, the company offers diverse career 
and development opportunities in a wide range of jobs and supports the well-being and work performance of its profes-
sionals. The objective is to be the most attractive employer in the industry for physicians as well as other professionals. 
Equality, fairness, and non-discrimination are important principles that Terveystalo is committed to observing.

At the end of 2022, Terveystalo's Finnish operations employed 10,100 (9,131) employees and 5,822 (5,644) indepen-
dent private practitioners. In 2021, Terveystalo expanded to Sweden with the acquisition of Feelgood, a local occupatio-
nal health operator. In Sweden, Terveystalo employed 833 (674) employees and 106 (110) private practitioners at the 
end of 2022.

Terveystalo’s goal is to be the best and most attractive employer in our industry. Terveystalo has worked systemati-
cally towards this goal for several years, and studies show that Terveystalo is the most popular employer in the industry 
in Finland among professionals in the field. One of the key indicators of well-being and coping at work in Terveystalo 
is the employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) (which also includes private practitioners). The eNPS figure indicates the 
proportion of our employees and private practitioners who would recommend Terveystalo as a workplace to others. In 
the 2022 professional survey, the eNPS recommendation index was 29 (32). Among the strengths of Terveystalo are the 
activities of work communities and cooperation in teams, as well as the work of immediate supervisors. In the develop-
ment of professional experience, the aim is to nurture these identified strengths. Terveystalo’s target is to have an eNPS 
recommendation index of 31 by 2025.

The health and safety of employees 

Permanent and fixed-term employees are covered by statutory insurance with respect to workplace accidents and 
occupational diseases. In addition to observing the statutory requirements, Terveystalo provides a comprehensive 
range of primary healthcare, specialized healthcare, and well-being services to employees, such as direct access to phy-
siotherapy and digital services to support mental well-being. Low-threshold services to support mental well-being pro-
vide employees with the opportunity to confidentially discuss anything they might have on their minds. Brief psychot-
herapy is also included in Terveystalo’s occupational health services. Terveystalo aims to recognize challenges related 
to work ability and occupational health at an early stage and seek solutions to these challenges through effective 

cooperation with occupational health services. Terveystalo Occupational Healthcare provides occupational health ser-
vices for personnel throughout Finland. Terveystalo Occupational Healthcare holds the ISO 9001:2015 Quality System 
Certificate awarded by Labquality Oy. All of our employed staff in Finland are covered by statutory pension security and 
parental leave benefits.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, occupational health has invested heavily in upholding the personnel's work ability 
and medical care in a state of emergency. Sickness absences of personnel increased from the previous year, and the 
sickness absence percentage in Finland was 5.2 (4.4) percent of hours worked. In Sweden, the corresponding figure was 
5.5 (4.0). 

There were no fatal accidents or accidents leading to serious injuries at Terveystalo in 2022. Terveystalo’s accident 

frequency in Finland was 15 (20) in 2022, which is clearly below the average in the health care industry (34). 

Competence development  

The systematic and business-driven development of our personnel is especially important for Terveystalo’s future 
success. Smooth work and appropriate, responsible supervisory work ensure the personnel’s well-being, which in turn 
benefits customers through better care and a positive customer experience. Terveystalo provides professional training 
and opportunities for learning on the job. Terveystalo has invested particularly in the development of leadership and 
supervisory work as well as supporting on-the-job self-study by increasing online learning, for example. 

The growth of digital health has been strong in recent years. Terveystalo has invested in training its personnel in the 
use of digital tools and channels, as well as their use in customer work. Terveystalo provides training for physicians and 
nurses in the use of different types of remote services. 

In 2022, Terveystalo continued the development project aimed at streamlining the work of occupational health nur-
ses and strengthening well-being at work. New operating models were implemented, which support a consistent quality 
of service for the customers and strengthen work management and job satisfaction. According to the results of the 
professional survey, occupational health nurses' coping at work has improved thanks to the new operating models. 

In addition, training courses aimed at different professions and supporting professional development were organized 
during the year.  Terveystalo also trained its personnel on data protection and security, as well as on operations in comp-
liance with requirements and ethical guidelines. In 2022, the company organized training in Finland for a total of 69,733 
(79,847) hours, which corresponds to 7.0 (8.7) hours per employee. 

In addition to internal training, Terveystalo engages in research and education cooperation with several universities 

and promotes youth employment with trainee programs.

Promoting diversity, equality, and non-discrimination

Terveystalo observes the principles of equality, fairness, and non-discrimination. At Terveystalo no one is discriminated 
based on race, age, ethnic or national origin, nationality, language, religion, belief, opinions, health status, disability, 
sexual orientation, or other personal reasons or circumstances. In recruitment, Terveystalo focuses on the person’s pro-
fessional competence, the ability to take responsibility, and the will to improve the company’s operations and themsel-
ves. To realize these principles, Terveystalo Plc and its subsidiaries in Finland prepare company-specific personnel plans, 
training plans, equality, and non-discrimination plans, and define targets for improvement. 

In accordance with the diversity policy of the Board of Directors, the objective is to have a balanced gender distribu-
tion in the Board of Directors. At the end of 2022, two of the five members of the Board of Directors were women. Four 
of the eight Management Group members were women.

The remuneration of Terveystalo’s personnel is based on the principles of performance, equal treatment, and 
competitiveness. For jobs that fall under collective agreements, such as nurses, the pay categories correspond to the 
classifications specified in the collective agreements. Pay is also influenced by job-specific responsibility supplements 
and the employee’s years of experience. For senior salaried employees, pay is determined based on the position and the 
demands of the job as well as other factors, including competence, experience, performance, and results. The compa-
ny-specific equality plans are focused on the equality of remuneration and are aimed at promoting equal pay. Gender, 
for example, cannot be a factor that influences pay.

Sustainable economic growth
A responsible business is also financially profitable and sustainable. Terveystalo creates value for customers, society, 
and shareholders by continuously developing the clinical, operational, and experienced quality of its work, enabling fas-
ter access to treatment, reducing sickness absences, and employing, directly and indirectly, more than 16,800 people. 
Terveystalo is a significant employer, taxpayer, and provider of health services in Finland.

Terveystalo creates economic added value not only for its customers but also for other key stakeholders, such as 
personnel, private practitioners, material and service suppliers, and society. Terveystalo’s most significant cash flows 
consist of revenue from service sales, purchases from suppliers of goods and services, salaries paid to personnel, fees 
paid to private practitioners, taxes, investments, and dividends paid to the shareholders. 

In 2022, Terveystalo’ s revenue and other operating income totalled EUR 1,261.8 (1,158.0) million. The goods, 
materials and services purchased from suppliers amounted to EUR 525.7 (488.9) million. Salaries and remuneration 
amounted to EUR 381.5 (315.9) million. Net financial expenses to creditors amounted to EUR 2.9 (9.0) million. Dividends 
paid to our shareholders in 2022 based on the results of the previous fiscal year amounted to EUR 35.4 (33.1) million. 
Terveystalo invested a total of EUR 58.5 (42.6) million to business development.

In 2022, Terveystalo’ s tax footprint totalled EUR 235.7 (191.0) million. In addition, a total of EUR 340.6 (316.3) million 

was paid to private practitioners, who pay their individual taxes independently. Private practitioners' taxes are not inclu-
ded in Terveystalo’ s own tax footprint.

Terveystalo’s environmental program covers all clinics in Finland and its appropriateness is evaluated in quality mana-
gement and environmental management system audits. Some of the clinics are ISO 14001:2015 certified. Feelgood, 
Terveystalo’s subsidiary operating in Sweden, also has ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System certifica-
tion. 

Terveystalo’s goal is to reduce the carbon footprint so that zero emissions in its own operations will be achieved in 
2030. Between 2023 and 2030, any remaining greenhouse gas emissions will be compensated by investing in certified 
CO2 emission compensation projects. The aim is to eventually discontinue compensation measures and to achieve 
zero emissions in its own operations by 2030. A further goal is to reduce direct and indirect CO2 emissions (Scope 1 and 
Scope 2) by 80 percent by 2025 (using 2018 as the baseline). As regards energy consumption, the target is for green 
electricity to account for 100 percent of the electricity purchased for Terveystalo’s operations. The recycling and reco-
very of waste is another key theme in Terveystalo’s environmental responsibility, with the goal being to minimize waste 
in all operations. The indicators used for this are the mixed waste intensity and the recovery rate and recycling rate of 
waste generated at Terveystalo’s units. 

In 2022, Terveystalo’s carbon footprint from Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) in Finland totalled 
2,334.1 (644.0) metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). Scope 2 emissions (market-based) from purchased 
electricity quadrupled from the previous year. This was due to the exceptional electricity market disturbances, which 
forced Terveystalo to change its electricity supplier in the middle of the year, and because of the high market price of 
electricity, no green electricity could be purchased for the rest of the year. In Sweden, Scope 1 and 2 emissions from 
Feelgood’s operations totalled 142.2 tCO2e. Terveystalo’s carbon footprint consists mainly of the production of the ele-
ctricity consumed by properties, emissions generated by transport and travel as well as the waste generated in hospitals 
and clinics. The emissions generated by Terveystalo’s operations are reduced, for example, by increasingly transitioning 
to green electricity and prioritizing low-emission vehicles.  

Sustainable consumption and climate action
Terveystalo is committed to the targets agreed upon in international climate summits for the mitigation of climate 
change. Terveystalo’s goal is zero emissions from its own operations in 2030. The conservation and sustainable use of 
natural resources in Terveystalo’s supply chains are promoted by reducing plastic consumption, recycling waste, increa-
sing the efficiency of material management, and reducing the number of small orders. Medical waste at Terveystalo’s 
units is also being reduced. Digital services enable simultaneously improving access to care and reducing customers’ 
travel times and the emissions generated by travel. 

In line with Terveystalo’s environmental policy, Terveystalo builds a sustainable relationship with the environment. 
The environmental policy is guided by Terveystalo’s values and strategy, which the management and personnel have 
undertaken to comply with. Terveystalo operates in line with the principles of sustainable development to reduce and 
eliminate environmental risks. Terveystalo complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and procedures in place in the 
industry to ensure patient safety. 

Terveystalo’s environmental goals are as follows:

•  Development of environmental management and awareness at all organizational levels
•  Identification, anticipation, and monitoring of direct and indirect environmental impacts
•  Reduction of environmental impacts in our day-to-day operations
 Development of practices that promote sustainable development
• 

Adverse environmental impacts are prevented by, for example:

•  reducing energy consumption and transitioning to carbon-neutral energy, 
•  reducing the volume of waste created in our operations and increasing our recycling rate, 
•  optimizing the life cycle of health care equipment, with due consideration for technological development, 
•  taking environmental perspectives into account in our travel and car policy, 
•  developing digital services,
•  planning and implementing pharmaceutical services in an up-to-date manner,
•  taking environmental perspectives into account in centralized procurement and ensuring  

efficient inventory management, and

•  taking sustainable development and environmental perspectives into account in our network  

and business premises projects.

Emissions 
Terveystalo reports the direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) greenhouse gas emissions arising from our operations 
– and part of our indirect Scope 3 emissions – in accordance with the GHG standard. The emissions from Swedish ope-
rations are reported for the first time for the year 2022.

Scope 1
As the company does not, for the most part, own or control the properties at which it operates, the greenhouse gas 
emissions mostly consist of the emissions from the company’s fleet of cars and the trucks used for imaging operations. 
The emissions arising from own driving and driving under the company’s direct control are calculated based on fuel 
consumption. In 2022, Scope 1 CO2 emissions in Finland totalled 134,5 (245.5) metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent 
(tCO2e). In Sweden, Scope 1 emissions totalled 39,9 tCO2e.

Scope 2
Indirect Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions arise from the production of electricity purchased by Terveystalo and the 
production of district heating consumed at properties controlled by Terveystalo. In 2022, electricity purchases for 
properties controlled by Terveystalo totalled 15,841 (14,159) MWh. Since January 2020, the company’s electricity port-
folio (electricity purchased for properties) has been zero-CO2 green electricity. Zero-CO2 electricity purchased for 2022 
in Finland totalled 7,730.4 (12,696) MWh, representing approximately 49 (89) percent of the company’s electricity con-
sumption in Finland. The remainder, 8,111 (1,499) MWh, corresponds to 2,199.6 (418.5) metric tons of CO2 equivalent 
(tCO2e, market-based). The exceptional electricity market disturbances forced Terveystalo to change its electricity supp-
lier in the middle of the year, and because of the high market price of electricity, no green electricity was purchased for 
the rest of the year. In Sweden, electricity purchases for properties controlled by Feelgood totalled 1,328 MWh, of which 
67 percent was zero-CO2 green electricity. As regards energy consumption, our target is for green electricity to account 
for 100 percent  of the electricity we purchase

Scope 3
For indirect Scope 3 emissions, Terveystalo reports emissions arising from work-related travel by employees and waste 
created by the company’s operations.

At Terveystalo, unnecessary work-related travel is aimed to be avoided by encouraging the use of remote meetings 
whenever possible. In 2022, Terveystalo’s personnel in Finland flew a total of 0.7 (0.3) million kilometres in work-related 
travel, equalling 84.1 39.9) tCO2e. Regarding reimbursable work-related travel, Terveystalo’s personnel in Finland travel-
led a total of 2.6 (1.9) million kilometres, equalling 440.8 (322.1) tCO2e. Terveystalo encourage our personnel to choose 
low-emissions vehicles as company cars. The average emissions of the company cars used by the Group in Finland 
amount to 72 (92) g CO2e/km. In Sweden, personnel is encouraged to use trains instead of flying and to favour remote 
meetings when possible. Terveystalo’s personnel in Sweden flew a total of 0.31 million kilometres, resulting in emis-
sions of 45.1 tCO2e. A total of 262.6 tCO2e were emitted from all the work-related trips of the Swedish personnel. 

The indirect emissions arising from waste in Finland totalled 41.7 (36.6) tCO2e in 2022. In Sweden, emissions from 
waste are very low since the amount of waste generated from operations is small and is mainly generated in offices. The 
emissions arising from waste in Sweden totalled 2.1 tCO2e.   

Terveystalo’s CO2 emissions intensity is low due to the nature of the Group’s operations. In 2022, Terveystalo’s emis-

sions intensity (Scope 1 and Scope 2, market-based) relative to revenue amounted to 1.8 (0.6) gCO2e/EUR. Relative 
to the number of employees, the emissions intensity was 0.4 (0.12) tCO2e. Figures for 2022 also include operations in 
Sweden.

Waste 
Terveystalo’s goal is to minimize mixed waste in all operations and forward as large a share of the waste as possible to be 
recovered. The indicators used for this are the mixed waste intensity and the recovery rate and recycling rate of waste 
generated at Terveystalo’s units. In 2022, the mixed waste intensity of Finnish operations was 5.8 (6.4), the recovery rate 
of waste 100 percent and the recycling rate of waste 67 percent. 

According to the company's assessment, there are no significant risks associated with environmental aspects due to 

the nature of the company's operations.

EU taxonomy
The EU taxonomy is a classification system for sustainable finance that seeks to establish criteria for determining envi-
ronmentally sustainable business. The regulation, which entered into force in July 2020, lays the foundations for the 
EU's taxonomy by setting out the general conditions that economic activity must meet to be classified as sustainable 
from climate perspective. Large companies must report the share of sustainable business in their business in accor-
dance with taxonomy criteria. 

one environmental goal, 2. it does not have significant adverse effects from the perspective of other environmental goals, 
and 3. the activity complies with the minimum social safeguards defined in the taxonomy (Minimum safeguards). Based 
on this assessment, Terveystalo's activities listed in the taxonomy (12.1 Residential care activities) cannot be considered 
taxonomy-aligned, because the activities, due to their nature, do not target or support the achievement of the taxonomy's 
environmental goals.

At present, EU taxonomy mainly concerns the economic activities that play the most important role in mitigating and 

As a result of the assessment, it has been found that the significance of Terveystalo’ s taxonomic functions is negligible 

adapting to climate change. As a result, many industries, such as health care services, are almost completely excluded 
from the scope of the current taxonomy.

Terveystalo has determined its taxonomic eligibility by examining its activities in relation to the economic activities 

listed in the taxonomy and their NACE codes. Only one of Terveystalo’ s businesses is classified in taxonomy (12.1 
Residential care activities, NACE code Q87).

After this, Terveystalo has evaluated the taxonomy alignment of the operation. The activity is classified as aligned 
with the taxonomy if the taxonomy's criteria are met: 1. The activity essentially supports the achievement of at least 

in terms of indicators. The key figures are the share of taxonomy-eligible and taxonomy-aligned operations (percent) in 
terms of net sales, operating costs, and investments. According to the company's estimate, 1 percent of Terveystalo’s 
revenue, operating costs and investments are eligible with the current taxonomy and 99 percent are non-eligible. 
Furthermore, 0 percent of Terveystalo’s revenue, operating costs and investments are taxonomy-aligned, and 100 percent 
are non-taxonomy-aligned. 

Terveystalo strives to minimize the environmental impact of its operations and to promote the digitalisation of health 

care, but these measures are not included in the current taxonomy. Terveystalo’s environmental sustainability is descri-
bed in the Sustainability section of Annual Report and in the Board of Directors' report.

The Board’s authorizations

Decisions of the Annual General Meeting 2022 and the first Board meeting

The Board has been authorized to resolve the repurchase of the company’s own shares using the unrestricted equity of 
the company. The authorization covers a maximum of 12,803,653 own shares in total, which corresponds to approxima-
tely 10 percent of the company’s currently registered shares. 

The Board has also been authorized to resolve the issuance of shares and special rights entitling to shares as referred 

to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Finnish Companies Act. Authorizations were not used during the financial period. 

The Annual General Meeting of Terveystalo Plc was held on 7 April 2022 in Helsinki, Finland. The Annual General 
Meeting adopted the financial statements for the financial year 2021 and discharged the members of the Board of 
Directors and the CEO from liability. The Annual General Meeting approved the remuneration report for governing 
bodies and decided to support the amended remuneration policy for governing bodies which was presented to the 
Annual General Meeting.

Dividend Policy and distribution of profits for 2022 proposed by the Board

The objective of Terveystalo’s Dividend Policy is to distribute a minimum of 40 percent of earnings per share in divi-
dends. The current financial performance, development potential, financial position, and capital requirements are taken 
into account. In 2022, earnings per share were EUR 0.19 (0.63). 

The parent company’s distributable funds totalled EUR 530.8 (542.6) million, of which EUR 23.7 (43.8) million is profit 
for the financial year. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.28 (0.28) 
per share totalling EUR 35.4 (35.4) million be paid based on the balance sheet adopted for the financial year ended 31 
December 2022. The dividend would be paid in two installments as follows:

The first dividend installment of EUR 0.14 per share would be paid to the shareholders who are registered in the 
shareholders' register of the Company maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date of the first dividend ins-
tallment on 27 March 2023. The Board of Directors proposes that the first dividend installment would be paid on 3 April 
2023.

The second dividend installment of EUR 0.14 per share would be paid to shareholders who are registered in the 
shareholders' register of the Company maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date of the second dividend 
installment on 2 October 2023. The Board of Directors proposes that the second dividend installment would be paid 
on 9 October 2023. The Board of Directors also proposes that the Annual General Meeting would authorize the Board 
of Directors to resolve, if necessary, on a new record date and date of payment for the second dividend installment 
should the rules of Euroclear Finland Ltd or statutes applicable to the Finnish book-entry system change or otherwise 
so require.

No substantial changes have occurred in the company’s financial position since the end of the financial year. The 
company’s liquidity is good and, in the Board’s opinion, will not be jeopardized by the proposed distribution of profits.

The Annual General Meeting decided, in accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, that a dividend 
of EUR 0.28 per share (totalling approximately EUR 35.6 million with the current number of shares) be paid based on 
the balance sheet adopted for the financial year ended 31 December 2021. The dividend was paid in two installments 
as follows. The first dividend installment of EUR 0.14 per share was paid to the shareholders who are registered in the 
shareholders' register of the Company maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date of the first dividend ins-
tallment on 11 April 2022. 

The first dividend installment was paid on 20 April 2022. The second dividend installment of EUR 0.14 per share was 
paid to shareholders who are registered in the shareholders' register of the Company maintained by Euroclear Finland 
Ltd on the record date of the second dividend installment on 10 October 2022. The second dividend installment was 
paid on 19 October 2022. The Annual General Meeting also authorized the Board of Directors to resolve, if necessary,  
on a new record date and date of payment for the second dividend installment should the rules of Euroclear Finland Ltd 
or statutes applicable to the Finnish book-entry system change or otherwise so require.

TThe number of members of the Board of Directors was confirmed to be six (6). Dag Andersson, Kari Kauniskangas, 

Kristian Pullola and Katri Viippola were re-elected as members of the Board and Carola Lemne and Matts Rosenberg 
were elected as new members of the Board for a term that ends at the end of the Annual General Meeting 2023. 

KPMG Oy Ab was re-elected as the Company's auditor. KPMG Oy Ab has notified that Henrik Holmbom, APA, would  

be acting as the principal auditor. 

As proposed by the Board of Directors, the Annual General Meeting resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to 

resolve on the repurchase and/or on the acceptance as pledge of the Company's own shares using the unrestricted 
equity of the Company. The authorization covers a maximum of 12,803,653 shares, which corresponds to approxima-
tely 10 percent of all shares in the Company. In addition, as proposed by the Board of Directors, the Annual General  
Meeting resolved to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of shares and the issuance of special 
rights entitling to shares referred to in Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Companies Act. The authorization covers a maxi-
mum of 12,803,653 shares, which corresponds to approximately 10 percent of all shares in the Company. These autho-

Terveystalo Plc’s Corporate Governance Statement, Remuneration Policy, and Remuneration Report for 2022 have been 
published as separate documents from the Board of Directors' Report and as part of the Annual report on pages 71-95, 
and are also available on the company's website.

Activities following the end of the reporting period
Terveystalo Plc's Board of Directors has approved a new performance period covering  
years 2023–2025 of the long-term share-based incentive plan for key personnel 

The Performance Share Plan is based on a rolling three-year performance period structure, with a new performance 
period starting at the beginning of each year if so decided by the Board. The Board decides on the participants, per-
formance measures, and targets as well as earning opportunities on an annual basis. The purpose of the program is to 
align the objectives of shareholders and key personnel to increase the company's value in the long term, and to commit 
key personnel to implement Terveystalo's strategy by offering them a competitive, share-based incentive program. 
The establishment of the program and its main terms were announced in a stock exchange release published on 3 
December 2020.

Performance Period 2023–2025 of the Performance Share Plan (PSP)

During the performance period 2023–2025, the performance indicators on the basis of which share rewards may be 
paid are absolute Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and relative TSR (compared to the OMX HKI benchmark CAP GI index).

Terveystalo's Board of Directors confirms the total amount of shares earned after the end of the performance period. 
The share rewards that may be paid based on the 2023–2025 earning period will be paid in Terveystalo Plc shares after 
the end of the performance period, provided that the performance targets set for the program by the Board are achie-
ved. The maximum number of shares to be paid based on this plan is 640,000 shares. Taxes and tax-like payments to 
the recipient are deducted from the share reward, after which the remaining net amount is paid to the participants in 
shares.

No more than approximately 70 people selected by the Board are eligible to participate in the program, including 

members of Terveystalo's Executive Team. 

Terveystalo applies a share ownership requirement to the members of the Executive Team. Each member of the 
Executive Team is expected to retain at least 50 percent of the net shares received under the long-term incentive plan 
until his or her shareholding in Terveystalo is at least equal to his or her annual gross base salary.

Performance Period 2023-2025 of the Restricted Share Plan (RSP)

The purpose of the Restricted Share Plan is to act as a supplementary structure for separately selected key personnel of 
Terveystalo in special situations.

The share rewards will be paid in Terveystalo Plc shares after the end of the performance period, provided that the 
individual participants are still employed by Terveystalo. The maximum number of shares to be paid based on this plan is 
64,000 shares.

The most significant short-term risks and uncertainty factors

Terveystalo’s risk management is governed by the risk management policy approved by the Board. The policy defines 
goals, principles, organizations, responsibilities, and practices for risk management. The management of  
financial risks complies with the Group’s financing policy approved by Terveystalo’s s Board. 

The risks and uncertainty factors described below are considered to potentially have a significant impact on the 
company’s business operations, financial results, and outlook within the next 12 months. The list is not intended to  
be exhaustive.

•  Achieving the targeted financial effects of the launched profit improvement program is necessary to combat the 

impact of high inflation and to achieve the financial targets set by the company.

•  The company’s business operations rely on its capacity to identify, recruit, and retain competent and professional 
healthcare professionals, employees, and executives. The increased supply of services and increased competition 
may affect the availability of healthcare professionals, particularly in major cities. Turnover in key employees invol-
ves the risk of losing knowledge and expertise. 

•  Weak general economic performance and high inflation in Finland and their effects on the financial circumstances 
of private individuals, employers, and public entities may adversely affect Terveystalo’s business and results of 
operations by decreasing the demand for Terveystalo’s services, as well as may adversely affect the availability of 
financing. 

•  The development and implementation of information system projects and services, service products, and opera-
ting models involve risks. The company develops new digital customer solutions, which increases the overall risk 
related to information systems. A failure in the development of digital systems may expose Terveystalo to poten-
tial technical faults and disturbances. 

•  The company may not be able to find suitable acquisition targets or expansion opportunities under favorable 

terms, and the integration of acquisition targets is not necessarily realized as planned.

•  Terveystalo’s expansion to new geographical locations involves several risks, and failure to identify expansion 
opportunities, recruit new employees, and achieve estimated benefits may adversely affect Terveystalo’s  
business and the results of operations.

•  The company’s business is very dependent on functioning information systems, data communication, and  
external service providers. Interruptions can result from hardware failure, software failure, or cyber threats.  
Long-lasting malfunction of information systems or payment transfers can lead to significant loss of sales  
and a decline in customer satisfaction. 

•  Endangered information security or privacy can lead to losses and claims for damages and endanger reputation.
•  The COVID-19 pandemic and other potential pandemics or epidemics and related restrictive measures may adver-

sely affect the business operations of Terveystalo through, among other things, demand for certain  
healthcare services and challenges in the supply chain.

•  Changes in the competitive landscape, new competitors entering the markets, and increasing price competition 

may have a negative impact on the company’s profitability and growth potential. 

•  Terveystalo is exposed to changes in demand for occupational healthcare services due to demographic trends; 

aging and shrinking working-age population. 

•  The Social Welfare and Healthcare Reform in Finland and its legal interpretations may have impacts on 

Terveystalo’s business and results of operations. 

•  Changes in compensation systems for healthcare services may adversely affect Terveystalo’s business, financial 

position, and results of operations.

•  Failures or deficiencies in the operational risk management, medical quality, and internal control processes may 

result in failure of quality control, including medical quality, or otherwise adversely affect Terveystalo's profitability 
and reputation.

•  Terveystalo’s operations could be subject to labour disruptions or disputes.
•  The company is a party to, and may become a party to, legal action or administrative procedures initiated by the 
authorities, patients, or third parties. According to the company’s opinion, its currently pending legal obligations 
and court cases are not significant in nature.

2. Accounting policies for the  
consolidated financial statements 
2.1 Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of Terveystalo have been prepared in accordance with International Financial 
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The consolidated financial statements have been prepa-
red in compliance with the IAS and IFRS standards as well as the SIC and IFRIC interpretations in force on 31 December 
2022. The consolidated financial statements also comply with the regulations of Finnish accounting and company legis-
lation complementing the IFRSs. 

The consolidated financial statements are presented in millions of euro and have been prepared under the historical 

cost basis, unless otherwise stated in the accounting principles. All figures presented have been rounded, and conse-
quently the sum of individual figures may deviate from the presented aggregate figure. Key figures have been calcu-
lated using exact figures.

2.2  Application of new and amended IFRSs  

and new IFRIC agenda decisions

New and amended standards applied in the financial year 2022

The Group has applied as from 1 January 2022 the following new and amended standards that have come into effect:

Amendments to IAS 37 – Onerous Contracts  

When an onerous contract is accounted for based on the costs of fulfilling the contract, the amendments clarify that 
these costs comprise both the incremental costs and an allocation of other direct costs. The impacts of the amend-
ments on Terveystalo’s consolidated financial statements have not been significant.

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020 

IFRS 9: The amendment clarifies that – for the purpose of performing the ‘’10 per cent test’ for derecognition of 
financial liabilities – in determining those fees paid net of fees received, a borrower includes only fees paid or received 
between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the borrower or lender on the other’s 
behalf.

IFRS 1: The amendment simplifies the application of IFRS 1 for a subsidiary that becomes a first-time adopter later 

than its parent.

IFRS 16: The amendment removes the illustration of payments from the lessor relating to leasehold improvements. 

The example was not clear as to why such payments are not a lease incentive.

IAS 41: The amendment removes the requirement to exclude cash flows for taxation when measuring fair value, the-

reby aligning the fair value measurement requirements in IAS 41 with those in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement.

The annual improvements have no impacts on Terveystalo’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 16 – Proceeds before Intended 

Under the amendments, proceeds from selling items before the related item of PPE is available for use should be 
recognized in profit or loss, together with the costs of producing those items. The amendments have no impacts on 
Terveystalo’s consolidated financial statements.

Transaction  
(effective for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2023, early application is permitted)

The amendments narrow the initial recognition exemption (IRE) and clarify that the exemption does not apply to tran-
sactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations which give rise to equal and offsetting temporary differences. 
The impacts of the amendments on Terveystalo’s consolidated financial statements are not expected to be significant.

The new standard for insurance contracts will help investors and others better understand insurers’ risk exposure, pro-
fitability and financial position. This standard replaces the IFRS 4 standard. The impact of the standard on Terveystalo’s 
consolidated financial statements is not expected to be significant.

Amendments to IFRS 17 – Comparative Information

2.3 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that are 
based on management's best view of the circumstances prevailing at the reporting date, prior experience and assump-
tions about future events related, among other things, to the expected development of the Group's economic environ-
ment in terms of sales and cost level. However, it is possible that the realized outcomes differ from the estimates and 
assumptions used in the financial statements. In addition, the application of the accounting policies requires judge-
ment, especially when the current IFRS standards have alternative accounting, valuation and presentation methods. 
The Group monitors the realization of the estimates and assumptions and changes in the underlying factors on a 
regular basis together with the operating units by using several internal and external information sources. Changes in 
estimates or assumptions are recognized in the period when the estimate or assumption is revised, and in the future 
periods if the change affects the subsequent periods.

The critical issues requiring management’s judgement are presented below:

Intangible assets in connection with business combinations

IFRS 3 requires the acquirer to recognize intangible assets separately from goodwill, if certain criteria are met. 
Recognizing intangible assets separately at fair value requires management to estimate the expected future cash 
flows. Management has used available market information when possible in determining the fair values. If no market 
information of the asset has been available, the measurement of the intangible asset is based on the historical yield of 
the asset and the planned use in operations. The valuations are based on discounted cash flows and estimated disposal 
or replacement prices, and the valuation requires management to make estimates of the future use of the asset and 
impact on the company’s financial position. 

Management believes that the used estimates and assumptions are reasonable for measurement of fair values. In 
addition, the Group’s property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are assessed to determine whether there is 
any indication of impairment at least at each reporting date.

The valuation of contingent considerations

Management makes discretionary decisions and estimates when determining the valuation of deferred contingent 
considerations in business combinations. Judgement is applied especially when estimating the expected amount of 
payments and is based on potential scenarios for future returns, amounts paid under different scenarios and the 
probability of each scenario.

Lease contracts

Terveystalo’s lease contracts include both termination and extension options. Group uses the options in managing 
lease contracts to ensure the flexible use of premises in the Group’s businesses. Management uses judgement to deter-
mine the use of termination and extension options and assesses the lease termination dates and lease terms. Based 
on management’s judgement, the termination options which relate to perpetual lease contracts for premises that are 
significant will not be used and such lease contracts are recognized as long-term lease contracts. 

Impairment testing

Impairment testing for cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated is carried out at least annually. 
Besides goodwill, the Group has no other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life. The recoverable amounts of 
cash generating units are estimated based on the calculations of their value in use. Preparation of these calculations 
requires use of estimates. Even though management believes that the used estimates and assumptions are appropri-
ate, the estimated recoverable amounts may differ from the actual results. 

Provisions

The most significant provisions in the statement of financial position relate mainly to loss-making contracts as well as 
retirement obligations related to some leased premises. Management makes estimates mainly concerning the total loss 
of the loss-making contracts.

2.4 Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements include the parent company Terveystalo Plc and all its subsidiaries where over 50 
percent of the voting rights are controlled by the parent company or the parent company otherwise controls the com-
pany. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the 
entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements starting from the date on which control com-

mences until the date on which control ceases.

131

TerveystaloAnnual Report 2022Year 2022

Sustainability

Corporate Governance

Financials

All subsidiaries are consolidated by using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred for the acquisition 
of a subsidiary comprise assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and the equity interests issued by the Group measured 
at fair value. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are 
measured initially at fair value at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, non-controlling interest 
in the acquiree is measured either at fair value or at value which equals the proportional share of the non-controlling 
interest in the identifiable net assets acquired.

All acquisition costs, except costs related to issue of debt or equity securities, are recognized as an expense as incur-

red. Transactions treated separately from the acquisition are recognized through the income statement and are not 
included in the consideration transferred. Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value and it is classified eit-
her as a liability or equity. Contingent consideration classified as a liability is measured at fair value at the end of repor-
ting period and the resulting profit or loss is recognized in the statement of income. Contingent consideration classified 
as equity is not remeasured.

If the Group gains control in stages in the acquiree, the existing interest will be measured at fair value through profit 

or loss.

Goodwill arising from an acquisition is recognized as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, 
the amount of non-controlling interests in the acquiree and previously held equity interest in the acquiree over the fair 
value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. If the consideration transferred is less than the fair 
value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the resulting gain is recognized in profit or loss.

Intra-group transactions, receivables, liabilities and unrealized gains, as well as the distribution of profits within the 
Group are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Accounting policies of subsidiaries 
have been aligned where necessary to correspond to the Group’s principles.

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in the loss of control are treated as equity transac-
tions – in other words, as transactions with owners when they are acting as owners. The difference between the fair 
value of the consideration paid or received and the book value of the portion of the net assets acquired or disposed is 
recognized in equity. 

When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is measured at fair 

value through profit or loss.

Associates

Associates are entities over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence generally arises when the 
Group holds over 20 percent of the voting rights, or otherwise has significant influence, but no control over the entity.
Associates are consolidated using the equity method. They are initially recognized at cost, which includes transac-
tion cost. If the Group’s share of the associated company’s losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, the 
investment is recognized at zero value in the consolidated statement of financial position. Recognition of further losses 
exceeding the carrying amount is discontinued, unless the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations on 
behalf of the associate.

Unrealized gains resulting from the transactions between the Group and associates are eliminated according to the 
Group’s share of ownership. Goodwill relating to an associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment. The 
Group’s share of the associated company’s profit or loss for the period is separately disclosed below net finance expen-
ses. Adjustments have been made when necessary to the associate’s accounting policies to align to those of the Group.
At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of the investments in associates to determine whet-
her there is any objective indication of impairment. If any such evidence of impairment exists, then the impairment loss 
is determined. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an investment in associate exceeds 
its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized in the statement of income.

If the Group’s ownership interest in an associate is reduced, but significant influence is retained, only the relative 
portion of previously recognized amounts in other comprehensive income and the value of the investment in the con-
solidated financial statements are recognized in the statement of income as part of the gain or loss.

2.5 Foreign currency transactions
The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros which is the functional and presentation currency of the 
parent company. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into respective functional currency at the exchange 
rate prevailing on the transaction date. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in foreign currency and 
from translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss as financial income or expenses. 

The functional currency of the Feelgood subgroup is Swedish krona which differs from Group’s presentation cur-
rency, and thus its statement of income, statement of cash flows and statement of financial position have been trans-
lated into presentation currency as follows:

•  Statement of income and statement of cashflows are translated at average exchange rates
•  Statement of financial position is translated at the closing exchange rate at the reporting date
•  All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income

2.6 Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. 
Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of items of property, plant and equip-
ment. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives are as follows: 

Magnetic resonance imaging equipment 
Buildings 
Machinery and equipment 
Improvements to office premises 
Right-of-use assets 

10 years
10–40 years
2–7 years
2–10 years
1–16 years

Premises used in operations are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 40 year depreciation period. Property, 

plant and equipment also includes artwork which is not depreciated.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life or lease term. If the use of call option is certain, 

right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life. 

Gains and losses on the sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment are presented in other operating income 

or other operating expenses.

Maintenance expenditure are not included in the carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment. When parts of 

the magnetic resonance imaging equipment are replaced, the Group capitalizes the replacement costs as a separate 
item. 

The residual values and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each reporting date.

2.7 Investment properties
Investment property refers to properties held by the Group in order to earn rental income or for capital appreciation 
or both. Apartments, which are not used in business operations, are mainly accounted for as investment properties. 
Investment properties are measured at acquisition cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 40-year depre-
ciation period.

133

2.8 Goodwill and other intangible assets
Goodwill

Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognised as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transfer-
red, the amount of non-controlling interests in the acquiree and previously held equity interest in acquiree over the fair 
value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired.

Goodwill is not amortised but tested for impairment annually. For impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash 
generating units or groups of cash generating units. Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. 
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed.

Gain or loss on disposed unit includes also the carrying amount of goodwill.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets include software and licenses, as well as acquired companies’ customer relationships, trade-
marks and other intangible assets. Intangible assets are recognised initially at cost if the cost of the asset can be measu-
red reliably and if it is probable that the future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Group.

Cloud computing arrangements which meet the definition of an intangible asset are recognized as intangible assets. 

Configuration and customisation costs which do not meet the definition of an intangible asset and which are distinct 
from the cloud computing arrangement, are recognised as an expense as the service is received. Configuration and 
customisation costs which are not distinct from the cloud computing arrangement, are recognised as prepaid expenses 
in the statement of financial position and expensed over the expected duration of the cloud computing arrangement.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date separately 

from goodwill if the assets meet the definition of an asset, are identifiable or rise from contractual or legal rights.

Other intangible assets are measured at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over the known or estimated 

useful lives.

The Group has no intangible assets with indefinite useful life except for goodwill.

Amortisation periods used for intangible assets are as follows:

Immaterial rights  
Other intangible assets  
Software  
Customer agreements and  
related customer relationships  
Trademarks  

Research and development

3–7 years
3–5 years
5 years

2–12 years
20 years or shorter useful life

Research expenditure are recognized as an expense as incurred in the statement of income. Development expenditure 
are capitalized as intangible assets when certain capitalization criteria are met. Development expenditure that do 
not qualify for the capitalization are recognized as an expense. The estimated useful lives of capitalized development 
expenditure are 3–5 years.

2.9 Impairment
Tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there are any indications of impairment. If any indica-
tions of an impairment exist, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. For goodwill and intangible assets not 
yet available for use, the recoverable amount is determined annually, irrespective of whether there is any evidence of 
impairment. Evidence of impairment is assessed at the level of the Group’s operating segments, i.e at the lowest unit 
level, which is largely independent of the other units and whose cash flows can be distinguished from the cash flows of 
equivalent units.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell or value in use. The value in use is 
the amount of future cash flows of an asset or cash generating unit discounted to present value. The discount rate used 
is the pre-tax discount rate which reflects the market view on the time value of money and specific risks related to the 
asset.

An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The impair-

ment loss is recognized in the statement of income. If impairment loss is related to a cash generating unit, the impair-
ment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit, and 

134

then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets on a pro rata basis. The useful life of an asset, which is subject 
to depreciation or amortization, is reassessed when an impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss recognized 
for other assets than goodwill is reversed if there has been a change in estimates used to determine the recoverable 
amount. The reversal of the impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying amount of the asset if impairment loss had not 
been recognized. Impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed.

Financial assets

At the end of each reporting period the Group evaluates indicators of potential impairment of a single financial asset or 
a group of financial assets.

The Group recognizes an expected credit loss for trade receivables and contract assets based on a simplified 

approach. Expected credit loss rates have been calculated using historical information of actual impairment losses, and 
the current conditions and the Group’s view of the economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables have 
been taken into account.

2.10 Leases 
Group as a lessee

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of a contract. A contract is or contains a 
lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for considera-
tion. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on statement of financial position at the lease com-
mencement date.

A lease term is determined as the non-cancellable period of a lease. The lease term includes periods covered by an 

option to extend or terminate the lease, if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option or not to 
exercise the termination option. Perpetual lease contracts related to significant premises are accounted for as long-
term lease contracts, as, according to management judgement, the termination options for such contracts will not be 
used. The lease term for such contracts is determined based on the Group’s strategy and network plan.

The Group does not recognize short-term leases (a lease that has a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases for 
which the underlying asset is of low value. The lease payments associated with such leases are expensed on a straight-
line basis.

Initially a right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease 

liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives, any initial direct 

TerveystaloAnnual Report 2022Year 2022

Sustainability

Corporate Governance

Financials

costs incurred by the Group, and an estimate of restoration costs to be incurred by the Group. If a lease contains several 
lease components, they are accounted for separately.

Subsequently right-of-use assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurements of the lease liability. A right-of-use asset is depreciated from 
the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease 
term. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over its 
useful life.

The book value and useful life of a right-of-use asset are reviewed where necessary but at least annually and an 

impairment loss is recognized if there is a change in expectations of the future economic benefits.

A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commence-
ment date. The Group uses incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. A lease liability includes fixed payments, 
including in-substance fixed payments; variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured 
using the index or rate as at the commencement date; amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guaran-
tee, and the exercise price under a purchase option that Terveystalo is reasonably certain to exercise.

Subsequently a lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured 
when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the 
Terveystalo’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee or if the Group changes 
its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When a lease liability is remeasu-
red in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-to-use asset or is recorded in 
the statement of income if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

2.11 Financial assets and liabilities 
Financial assets

The Group’s financial assets are classified at fair value through the statement of income or, at amortized cost. 
Classification is based on the purpose of the acquisition of the item and is made upon initial recognition.

Financial assets at fair value through the statement of income comprise of derivate assets, non-quoted equity instru-
ments and loan receivables. Realized or unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair values are recognized in 
the statement of income in the period in which they are incurred. 

Financial assets at amortized cost consist of trade receivables and other receivables. They are measured at amor-
tized cost and they are included in non-current assets unless the Group has an intention to hold the instrument for less 
than 12 months from the reporting date, in which case they are included in current assets.

The Group has not had financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income during the periods 2021 or 

2022.

The Financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows expire, or the financial asset is tran-

sferred to another party and the Group substantially transfers all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, bank deposits available on demand, and other short-term highly liquid 
investments. Items included in cash and cash equivalents have original maturities of three months or less from the 
acquisition date.

Financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities are measured at fair value through the statement of income or at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities at fair value through the statement of income comprise derivative liabilities and contingent con-
siderations. Realized or unrealized gains and losses arising from changes in fair values are recognized the statement of 
income in the period in which they are incurred.  

Financial liabilities at amortized cost include loans from financial institutions, lease liabilities, hire purchase liabilities 

and trade and other payables. They are initially recognized at fair value which is based on the consideration received. 
Transaction costs are included in the initial amount recognized and subsequently the financial liability is measured at 
amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Financials

Financial liabilities are included in non-current and current liabilities and they can be either interest-bearing or 
non-interest-bearing. Financial liabilities are classified as current liabilities, unless the Group has an unconditional right 
to postpone the payment of the liability to at least 12 months from the reporting date.

The Group has not had financial liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income during the periods 2021 

or 2022.

Actuarial gains and losses related to remeasurements of a defined benefit plan are recognized directly in the other 

comprehensive income. Interest and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized directly in the 
statement of income. If a plan is amended or curtailed, the portion of the changed benefit related to past service by the 
employees, or the gain or loss on curtailment, is recognized directly in the statement of income when the plan amend-
ment or curtailment occurs.

Financial liability is derecognized when the Group either settles the liability or has been legally discharged from the 

obligation related to the liability either through a legal process or by the borrower.

Share-based payment transactions

2.12 Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is determined by using 
FIFO (first in, first out) method. Net realizable value is the cost of inventory less obsolescence allowance.

2.13 Employee benefits
Pension benefits

Pension plans are classified as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. In defined contribution plans, 
the Group makes fixed contributions into the plan. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to make additional 
payments if the pension insurance company is unable to pay pension benefits earned by employees in the reporting 
period or in previous periods. Contributions made into defined contribution plans are recognized through profit or loss 
in the reporting period to which they relate.

A defined benefit plan is a pension plan under which the Group itself has the obligation to pay retirement bene-
fits and bears the risk of change in the value of plan liability and assets. The liability recognized on the statement of 
financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at 
the end of the reporting period less fair value of plan assets. The pension liability is presented in other non-current 
liabilities in the statement of financial position. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by an independent 
actuary using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by 
discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate or government bonds with 
approximating terms to maturity and that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits are expected to be 
paid.

The benefits granted in accordance with the incentive plan are measured at fair value at the grant date and are expen-
sed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The share-based payments settled with equity instruments are not 
revalued subsequently, and cost from these arrangements is recognized as an increase in equity. The cash-settled sha-
re-based incentives are valued at fair value at each reporting date until the settlement date and recognized as a liability.
The expensed amount of the benefits is based on the Group’s estimate of the amount of benefits to be paid in accor-
dance with the fulfilment of service and performance-based vesting conditions at the end of the vesting period. Market 
conditions are considered in determining the fair value of the benefit. Instead, the non-market criteria, like profitability, 
are not considered in measuring the fair value of the benefit but are taken into account when estimating the final 
amount of benefits. The estimate is updated at each reporting date and changes in estimates are recorded through the 
statement of income.

2.14 Provisions and contingent liabilities
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and 
it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can 
be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are recognized at the present value of the expenditure required 
to fulfil the obligation. If the obligation can be partially compensated by a third party, the compensation is treated as a 
separate asset, but only when it is virtually certain that the compensation will be received.

A provision is recognized for contracts when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract 

exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it. 

A contingent liability is a possible obligation arising as a result of past events, and whose existence will be confirmed 
only when an uncertain future event takes place, not wholly within control of the entity. Also, a present obligation which 
probably does not require a cash settlement or on which the value cannot be reliably estimated is considered as a con-
tingent liability. Contingent liabilities are disclosed in the notes.

2.15 Revenue recognition
The Group’s revenue consists mainly of occupational healthcare services, general practice and clinic hospital opera-
tions, dental services as well as diagnostic services. The Group also provides diverse primary healthcare, special heal-
thcare and child welfare services for public sector as well as massage and rehabilitation services. The Group’s customer 
contracts include primarily one performance obligation, which is typically a single appointment, and the transaction 
prices are mainly fixed. In some cases, the transaction price includes a variable consideration such as a discount or 
penalty. Possible variable considerations are assessed at each reporting date and are allocated to one or more perfor-
mance obligations. The terms of payment and payment periods in customer contracts vary, but payment time is nonet-
heless clearly below one year. Consequently, customer contracts do not include a significant financing component. 
Revenue is recognized to the extent that the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for the goods and services 
taking into account the terms and conditions of the customer contracts and business practices.

Revenue from individual appointments is recognized at a point in time as the service has been completed. For 

long-term contracts for predetermined services or a bundle of services, revenue is recognized as Terveystalo fulfils the 
performance obligation by performing the promised service. The Group’s long-term contracts are assessed to include a 
single performance obligation where the services provided by the Group are integrated into a single bundle of services. 
The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the service and, consequently, the criteria for 
recognizing revenue over time is met. For long-term contracts, Terveystalo measures the progress towards complete 
satisfaction of the performance obligation by applying the input method, in which the revenue is recognized based on 
time elapsed. The Group views that the used method best describes the transfer of control for the services provided. 
Estimated costs and revenues will be re-assessed regularly during performing the services. Revisions in profit estimates 
as well as projected potential losses on contracts are charged through the statement of income in the period in which 
they become known. The Group has not incurred any substantial costs for obtaining customer contracts.

Regarding private practitioners, Terveystalo acts as the principal and recognizes revenue on a gross basis. Fees 

related to purchasing these services are recognized in materials and services expenses.

2.16 Segment information
The Group’s business in Finland is divided into three regions which are the Group’s operating segments: Capital region, 
Central Units and Regional Units. During 2021, a fourth operating segment, Sweden and other, was formed in the 
Group due to the acquisition of Feelgood group. The operating segment consists of the Group’s operations in Sweden, 
Estonia and the Netherlands. Monitoring of profitability is primarily based on geographical areas. In addition to the 
regional structure, the Group functions include finance and administration, HR and legal, IT, communication, marketing 
and investor relations, business development and digitalization, as well as medical quality and service management. 
Terveystalo’s chief operating decision maker is the CEO. 

2.17 Government grants
Government grants are presented in other operating income as far as they do not relate to acquired assets. Grants are 
recognized when there is reasonable assurance that grants will be received, and the Group will comply with the condi-
tions associated with the grants.

2.18 Operating profit
IAS 1 standard does not define operating profit. The Group has defined it as follows: operating profit is calculated by ad-
ding other operating income to revenue, deducting costs related to materials and services, deducting costs related to 
employee benefits, depreciation, amortization and impairments as well as other operating expenses. 

2.19 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to the shareholders of the
parent company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the financial period. The Group’s sha-
re-based incentive plan has a dilution effect related to the earnings per share.

2.20 Income taxes
Income taxes primarily include current and deferred taxes. Tax related to items recognized directly in equity or in other 
comprehensive income is also recognized in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax assets and liabilities 
are measured at the amount expected to be received from or paid to taxation authorities, using the rates and laws that 
have been enacted by the date of the statement of financial position. Income taxes include any adjustment to tax in 
respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabi-
lities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts in taxation. Deferred tax is not recognized in the initial recogni-
tion of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor 
taxable profit nor loss at the date of the transaction. Deferred tax is not recognized for non-tax-deductible goodwill or 
for subsidiaries’ retained earnings to the extent that it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future. Deferred taxes relate primarily to the difference between the book value and tax base of capitalized 
customer relationships and trademarks, and to provisions related primarily to loss making contracts.

A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against 

which they can be used and using the losses is considered probable.

Deferred taxes are calculated using tax rates enacted by the reporting date.

The goodwill is attributable to skills of the workforce and synergies expected to be achieved. EUR 1.0 million of the 
recognized goodwill is deductible in taxation. Cashflow impact of the acquisitions made during 2022 was EUR 32.9 mil-
lion.

In these business combinations, the Group has acquired customer relationships and technology-related intangible 
assets. The fair value of customer contracts and related customer relationships included in other intangible assets has 
been determined on the basis of the estimated duration of customer relationships and the discounted net cash flows 
from existing customer contracts. The fair value of technology has been determined using the estimated replacement 
cost. 

The fair value of the acquired trade and other receivables amounted to EUR 5.2 million, for which the risk of impair-

ment has been deemed as non-significant.

The Group has incurred acquisition-related expenses of EUR 1.3 million related to transfer tax, consulting, valuation 

or equivalent services. The expenses have been included in other operating expenses.

The contributed revenue recognized from the acquisitions during the year 2022 was EUR 18.3 million and loss was 

EUR 1.0 million. 

If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2022, management estimates that the Group’s consolidated revenue in 
2022 would have been EUR 1 268.0 million and the consolidated result for the period would have been EUR 23.3 million.

Business combinations 2021

During the year 2021, the Group made ten corporate acquisitions and one business acquisitions. The acquisition of 
Feelgood Svenska AB group is presented separately, whereas other smaller acquisitions are disclosed in aggregate.

Acquisition of Feelgood Svenska AB group

On 14 June 2021 Terveystalo Healthcare Oy acquired 72.14 percent of the shares of Feelgood Svenska AB (publ) which 
is the parent company of the Swedish Feelgood group. At the same time, Terveystalo Healthcare announced a recom-
mended mandatory cash offer for all the remaining shares of Feelgood for a consideration of SEK 5.70 (approximately 
EUR 0.57) in cash per share. The cash offer ended on 26 July 2021 and through the cash offer Terveystalo ownership in 
Feelgoods shares and votes reached 97.42 percent. In August 2021, Terveystalo has initiated a mandatory redemption 
procedure for the remaining shares in Feelgood, and Feelgood’s shares were delisted from Nasdaq Stockholm on 6 
August 2021.

Feelgood is one of Sweden’s leading healthcare companies. Feelgood employs approximately 700 employees who 
serve customers both digitally and physically on 120 locations in Sweden. Feelgood offers services within occupational

healthcare, organization and leadership, substance abuse in the workplace, as well as digital private healthcare and well-
being services. Feelgood was listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. The acquisition is Terveystalo’s first step in expanding its pre-
sence and services to the Swedish market. The deal brings together two industry leading platforms that complement 
each other in terms of people, service offering and geographical network and provides significant potential for value 
creation.

Immediately before obtaining control, Terveystalo Healthcare’s ownership in Feelgood was 2.8 percent. The carrying 

amount of previous ownership corresponded to its fair value at the acquisition date and the business combination 
achieved in stages did not have an impact on the profit and loss. Feelgood has been consolidated to the Group’s finan-
cial statements from the end of June 2021 onwards.

The non-controlling interest from the acquisition has been recognized at fair value. The fair value of the non-cont-
rolling interest was determined based on the consideration of SEK 5.70 offered by Terveystalo Healthcare in the cash 
offer and the number of shares held by the minority at the acquisition date. After the acquisition date, Terveystalo has 
acquired the remaining non-controlling interests and reached a 100 percent ownership in Feelgood in December 2021. 
In 2022, no measurement period adjustments have been made to Feelgood acquisition. 

Customer relationships, trademarks and technology-related intangible assets were recognized in the determination 

of fair values and the combined fair value of these assets was measured at EUR 18.0 million. A deferred tax liability of 
EUR 3.7 million was recognized for the beforementioned assets. The fair values of customer relationships and trade-
marks have been determined through the use of an income approach, which requires an estimate or forecast of expe-
cted future cash flows. The fair value of technology has been determined using the estimated replacement cost. The 
acquisition resulted in a goodwill amounting to EUR 41.4 million. The goodwill is attributable to skills of the workforce 
and synergies expected to be achieved. The recognized goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of the acquired trade and other receivables amounts to EUR 16.6 million, which materially corresponds 

to their carrying amount and for which the risk of impairment has been deemed non-significant.

The Group incurred acquisition-related expenses of EUR 1.5 million related to consulting and valuation services. The 

expenses have been included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income.

The revenue recognized from the acquisition during the year 2021 was EUR 36.9 million and the impact to the result 

of the period was EUR -0.7 million.

If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2021, management estimates that the Group’s consolidated revenue 
during the year 2021 would have been EUR 1,194.1 million and the consolidated result for the period would have been 
EUR 80.7 million.

4. Revenue
The Group's distribution of revenue is based on the customer types. The Group does not have customers whose reve-
nue exceeds 10 percent of the Group's total revenue. Terveystalo offers its primary and outpatient secondary health 
care services to three distinct customer groups: corporate customers, private customers and public customers.

Corporate customers constitute Terveystalo’s largest customer group. Terveystalo’s corporate customers consist 
of the company’s occupational health care customers, excluding municipal occupational health care customers. The 
company provides statutory occupational health services and other occupational health and well-being services for 
corporate customers of all sizes. Terveystalo is the largest provider of occupational healthcare services in Finland in 
terms of revenue and the number of end-users. Terveystalo provides occupational healthcare services for over 27,000 
companies. 

Private customers are Terveystalo’s second-largest customer group. Private customers include private individuals 
and families. The company’s strong brand, easy access to services without long waiting times, leading service portfolio 
for private customers, families, and senior citizens, and personalized digital services give Terveystalo a competitive edge 
over public health care services and encourage customers to invest in their own health. Services for private customers 
are paid for either by the customers themselves or by their insurance companies.

Terveystalo’s public customer group is made up of Finnish public sector organizations, such as municipalities, muni-

cipal federations, and hospital districts, as well as municipal occupational health care customers. Terveystalo’s broad 
nationwide platform, digital offering, good reputation, and established brand, as well as its thorough expertise and 
experience in health care services throughout the chain of care, make Terveystalo an attractive partner for the public 
sector. Terveystalo’s services for public sector customers are mainly financed from budgets of municipalities, municipal 
federations, and hospital districts. The services offered to public sector customers include full and partial outsourcings, 
health care staffing services, specialized care services, other health care services, as well as occupational health care 
services for municipalities, municipal federations, and hospital districts.

attributable to skills of the workforce and synergies expected to be achieved. EUR 0.4 million of the recognized goodwill 
is deductible in taxation. The cash flow impact of the acquisitions was EUR 20.3 million.

In these business combinations, the Group has acquired customer relationships. The fair value of customer contracts 

and related customer relationships included in other intangible assets has been determined on the basis of the esti-
mated duration of customer relationships and the discounted net cash flows from existing customer contracts. 

The fair value of the acquired trade and other receivables amounted to EUR 3.5 million, for which the risk of impair-

ment has been deemed as non-significant.

The Group has incurred acquisition-related expenses of EUR 0.9 million related to transfer tax, consulting, valuation 

or equivalent services. The expenses have been included in other operating expenses.

The contributed revenue recognized from the acquisitions during 2021 was EUR 15.7 million and the impact to the 

profit for the period was EUR 0.7 million. 

If the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2021, management estimates that the Group’s consolidated revenue in 
2021 would have been EUR 1,176.6 million and the consolidated result for the period would have been EUR 79.2 million.

Goodwill is not amortized but it is tested for impairment at least annually.

Goodwill arising from business combinations has been allocated to cash-generating units as shown in the table 
below. Geographical areas consist of units with their own budgets and performance measurement, but they use shared 
resources and are centrally managed.

In financial years 2021 and 2022 there were four cash generating units. The fourth cash generating unit, Sweden and 
other, was formed in the Group due to the Feelgood acquisition in 2021. The recoverable amounts of the cash-genera-
ting units are based on value-in-use calculations which have been calculated using discounted cash flow projections. 
The key assumptions used in the calculations are terminal period revenue growth rate, profitability (EBIT%) and the 
discount rate. The projections are based on the budgets and estimates for the years 2023–2026, including the long-
term growth, which have been approved by the management.

Revenue growth during the terminal period is based on a flat growth factor which corresponds to long-term target 
inflation of the European Central Bank. Profitability during the terminal period is based on the assumed organic growth 
under normal market situation, general development in health care services market and long-term estimates by the 
Group’s management.

The discount rate used in impairment testing has been Pre-tax WACC of which the components are risk-free interest 

rate, risk premiums, industry-specific beta, industry-specific cost of debt, and industry specific equity / debt ratios. 

Based on the impairment testing, there is no need for recognition of impairment losses. All cash generating units’ 

value in use exceeded their carrying amount.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group has assessed the sensitivity of the impairment testing to the effect of the most critical assumptions used in 
the calculation. The table below shows the required change in a single assumption that the recoverable amount would 
fall below the carrying amount.

When assessing the recoverable amounts of cash generating units, management believes that no reasonably possible 
change in any of the key variables used would lead to a situation where the recoverable amount of the cash generating 
units would fall below their carrying amount.

20.  Financial assets and liabilities – carrying amount,  

fair values and fair value hierarchy

Financial assets and liabilities classified at fair value hierarchy level 3 consist of unquoted equity investments and contingent considerations 
from business combinations. The measurement of unquoted equity investments is based on the managements estimate of future cash flows 
arising from the investments and the measurement of contingent considerations is based on the amounts specified in purchase agreements 
and the management estimate on whether the consideration will be realized. The effect on earnings arising from the changes of fair values of 
financial assets and liabilities classified at fair value hierarchy level 3 has been EUR -2.4 million (2021: EUR 0.5 million).

21. Financial risks
21.1 Financial risk management
The Group is exposed to various financial risks in its normal business activities. The objective of the Group’s risk mana-
gement is to minimize the negative effects of changes in the financial markets on the Group’s result and valuation. The 
Group’s main financial risks are interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s risk management principles 
are approved by the Board of Directors and the Group’s financial department is responsible for the implementation 
of the principles. The Group’s financial department identifies and assesses risks and acquires instruments needed to 
hedge against them. 

21.2 Interest rate risk and currency risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from its loans from financial institutions issued at a floating rate. In 2022, the 
Group’s average interest rate for loans from financial institutions has been 1.2 percent (2021: 0.9 percent). If the inte-
rests would have been one percentage point higher it would have caused an increase of EUR 3.9 million in interest 
expenses during the year 2022. (2021: EUR 3.7 million).

The Group does not apply hedge accounting according to IFRS 9. The Group’s subsidiaries have the following open 

interest rate derivative contracts at the reporting date:

•  Interest rate swap agreements based on which the Group pays fixed 2.94; 0.21; 0.48; 0.19 and 2.92 percent  

interest rate and receives variable interest on EUR 30.0; 30.0; 50.0; 50.0 and 50.0 million loan capital.

Besides Finland, the Group has operations in Sweden and to a minor extent in Estonia and the Netherlands and is 
thereby exposed to currency risk arising from Swedish krona. As billing and purchasing of the Group companies is 
conducted in the local currency, the transaction risk exposure for Terveystalo is insignificant. During the year 2022, 
the Group incurred foreign exchange losses of EUR 0.1 million (2021: EUR 0.4 million). However, the group is exposed 
to exchange rate translation differences, which are booked in other comprehensive income that may be reclassified as 
profit or loss. 

21.3 Credit risk
The majority of the Group’s incoming cash flows are payments from established institutions, public sector and com-
panies with appropriate credit rating. However, the Group’s trade receivables include credit risk. Credit risk is managed 
mainly by monitoring the customer’s credit rating on a regular basis and by co-operating with collection agencies. In 
addition, the Group’s customers include private people whose invoicing is primarily carried out in connection with the 
rendering of services.

The Group has no major customer specific risk concentrations and its credit risk is diversified. Credit risk is managed 

by monitoring the amount, maturity distribution and turnover of trade receivables. Credit risk is also monitored on a 
client by client basis.

The Group has assessed the potential impact of Covid-19 to credit risk of trade receivables. Based on the assess-

ment, the Group’s view is that the credit risk has not significantly increased.

The Group’s maximum credit risk is equal to the carrying amount of financial assets at the reporting date. The  

maturity distribution of the Group’s trade receivables is disclosed in note 22 Trade and other receivables.

21.4 Liquidity risk
The Group aims to assess and monitor continuously the amount of funding required by business operations, in order 
to ensure sufficient liquidity to finance its operations, to repay maturing loans as well as to carry out investments and 
acquisitions of companies according to the growth strategy. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in 
bank accounts, cash in hand and cash payments not yet recorded into the Group’s bank accounts (cash in transit) at the 
reporting date.

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring unused liquidity reserves and forecasting future cash flows. 
The Group has an overdraft facility and undrawn credit facilities, of which EUR 99.6 million remained unused at the 

reporting date (2021: EUR 55.5 million).

The table below presents a contractual maturity analysis of financial liabilities. The cash flow figures are 

undiscounted and they include both interest payments and repayments of principals. Interest payments which are 
based on variable rates have been presented using variable rates as of the end of the reporting date.

21.5 Capital management
The objective of the Group’s capital management is to support business operations and to ensure competitive opera-
ting conditions with optimal capital structure, as well as to enable the implementation of the strategy.

In addition to operative cash flows, the capital structure is managed by potential share issues, acquisition of treasury 

shares by increase or repayment of financial liabilities, possible conversions between equity and financial liabilities, as 

158

well as through operative decisions on investments and growth and potential disposals of assets in order to reduce liabi-
lities.

The development of the Group’s capital structure is monitored, amongst other things, with the following: change in 

net debt, ratio of net debt to operating margin, and the cash flow forecast.

The Group’s net debt to equity ratio (gearing) was 95.7 percent at the reporting date (2021: 85.2 percent). The ratio 
is calculated by dividing interest bearing net debt with equity. The net debt includes interest bearing liabilities less inte-
rest bearing receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Group’s interest bearing liabilities were EUR 607.0 million 
at the reporting date (2021: EUR 557.2 million). A significant part of the interest bearing liabilities consists of loans from 
financial institutions.

The Group’s loan agreements include a covenant, based on which creditors can demand an immediate repayment 
of the loans if a certain covenant limit is breached. The covenant relates to the ratio between EBITDA and net debt. The 
Group has met all covenant terms and conditions during the reporting period and at the reporting date.

During the reporting period the Group has recognized final credit losses and expected credit losses on trade receivables 
and contract assets through the statement of income totaling EUR 1.9 million (2021: EUR 1.6 million). Impairment loss 
provision is based on a simplified approach. Estimated impairment loss rates have been calculated using historical infor-
mation of actual impairment losses, and the current conditions and the Group’s view of the economic conditions over 
the expected lives of the receivables have been taken into account.

Distributable funds
On 31 December 2022, the distributable funds of the parent company totaled EUR 530.8 million including the profit

tion adopted for the financial year ended 31 December 2022. The dividend would be paid in two instalments as follows:

•  The first dividend instalment of EUR 0.14 per share would be paid to the shareholders who are registered in the 

shareholders' register of the Company maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record date of the first dividend 
instalment on 27 March 2023. The Board of Directors proposes that the first dividend instalment would be paid on 
3 April 2023.

•  The second dividend instalment of EUR 0.14 per share would be paid to shareholders who are registered in the

dend instalment on 2 October 2023. The Board of Directors proposes that the second dividend instalment would 
be paid on 9 October 2023. The Board of Directors also proposes that the Annual General Meeting would autho-
rise the Board of Directors to resolve, if necessary, on a new record date and date of payment for the second divi-
dend instalment should the rules of Euroclear Finland Ltd or statutes applicable to the Finnish book-entry system 
change or otherwise so require.

The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors to the Annual General Meeting is not deducted from distributable 

equity until approved by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. 

No material changes have taken place in the company’s financial position since the end of the financial year. The 
liquidity of the company is good and the proposed allocation of funds, in the view of the Board of Directors, does not 
endanger the company's solvency.

An external actuary has performed the sensitivity analysis for one variable at a time while holding all other variables 
constant and regardless of the actual volatility of the given variable. Consequently, the purpose of the analysis is not to 
quantify expected change in the defined benefit obligation but to illustrate the sensitivity of the value of the obligation 
to these variables.

35. Subsequent events
Terveystalo Plc's Board of Directors has approved a new performance period covering years 2023-2025 of the long-term 
share-based incentive plan for key personnel.

The Performance Share Plan is based on a rolling 3-year performance period structure, with a new performance 
period starting at the beginning of each year if so decided by the Board. During the performance period 2023-2025, the 
performance indicators on the basis of which share rewards may be paid are absolute Total Shareholder Return (TSR) 
and relative TSR (compared to the OMX HKI benchmark CAP GI index). The maximum number of shares to be paid based 
on this plan is 640,000 shares. Taxes and tax-like payments to the recipient are deducted from the share reward, after 
which the remaining net amount is paid to the participants in shares. 

Performance Period 2023-2025 of the Restricted Share Plan (RSP). The purpose of the Restricted Share Plan is to 
act as a supplementary structure for separately selected key personnel of Terveystalo in special situations. The share 
rewards will be paid in Terveystalo Plc shares after the end of the performance period, provided that the individual 
participants are still employed by Terveystalo. The maximum number of shares to be paid based on this plan is 64,000 
shares.

Accounting policies of parent company’s financial statements
The financial statements of Terveystalo Oyj are prepared in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS).

Measurement and recognition principles and methods
Holdings in group companies

The carrying amount of holdings in group companies consists of historical costs less impairments. If the estimated 
future cash flows generated by a non-current asset are expected to be permanently lower than the balance of carrying 
amount, an adjustment to the value must be made to write-down the difference as an expense. If the basis for the 
impairment can no longer be justified at the reporting date, it is reversed.

Property, plant and equipment, and depreciation
The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment consists of historical costs less depreciation and other deduc-
tions. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using straight-line depreciation based on the expected useful life 
of the asset.

The depreciation is based on the following expected useful lives:
Machinery and equipment: 5 years

Auditor’s Report
To the Annual General Meeting of Terveystalo Plc

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of Terveystalo Plc (business identity code 2575979-3) for the year ended  
31 December 2022. The financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position, statement  
of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including a summary  
of significant accounting policies, as well as the parent company’s balance sheet, income statement, statement of  
cash flows and notes.

To our best knowledge and understanding, the non-audit services that we have provided to the parent company  
and group companies are in compliance with laws and regulations applicable in Finland regarding these services, and  
we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of EU regulation 537/2014. The 
non-audit services that we have provided have been disclosed in note 10 to the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

In our opinion

• 

 the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group’s financial position, financial perfor-
mance and cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU
•  the financial statements give a true and fair view of the parent company’s financial performance and financial posi-
tion in accordance with the laws and regulations governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and 
comply with statutory requirements.

Our opinion is consistent with the additional report submitted to the Audit Committee.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. The materiality is determined based on our 
professional judgement and is used to determine the nature, timing, and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate 
the effect of identified misstatements on the financial statements as a whole. The level of materiality we set is based 
on our assessment of the magnitude of misstatements that, individually or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected 
to have influence on the economic decisions of the users of the financial statements. We have also taken into account 
misstatements that in our opinion are material for qualitative reasons for the users of the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

Key Audit Matters

We conducted our audit in accordance with good auditing practice in Finland. Our responsibilities under good auditing 
practice are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our 
report.

We are independent of the parent company and of the group companies in accordance with the ethical requirements 

that are applicable in Finland and are relevant to our audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in 
accordance with these requirements.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial 
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 
The significant risks of material misstatement referred to in the EU Regulation No 537/2014 point (c) of Article 10(2) 
are included in the description of key audit matters below.

We have also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls. This includes consideration of whether 

there was evidence of management bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

Valuation of Goodwill and acquisition related Intangible Assets  
(Accounting Principles for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes 3, 15 and 16)

Revenue Recognition  
(Accounting Principles for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Note 4)

• 

• 

 We assessed the key assumptions used 
in the impairment tests, such as pro-
fitability, discount rate and long-term 
growth rate. To analyse the forecasts, we 
applied professional judgement in tes-
ting the key assumptions and assessing 
the resulting effects on the sensitivity 
analysis. 
 We involved KPMG valuation specialists 
when assessing the appropriateness of 
the assumptions used and the technical 
accuracy of the calculations. This inclu-
ded a comparison to external  
market and industry forecasts.
 In respect of the acquisition-related 
intangible assets we evaluated the 
recognition and recoverability of these 
assets by assessing the related calcula-
tions and the underlying assumptions.
•  In addition, we considered the appropri-
ateness of the disclosures in respect of 
goodwill, impairment testing and acqui-
sition related intangible assets.

• 

•  The consolidated revenue amounted to 1.259 M€ million and 
consist of numerous types of individual service transactions 
and service combinations generated to various customer and 
payer groups in multiple business locations. Volumes of sales 
transactions processed in the IT systems are substantial and 
Terveystalo also uses a number of  
service pricing models and client contract templates.
•  Given the variety and large number of sales transactions, 
revenue recognition is considered a key audit matter. 

•  As part of our audit procedures, we eva-
luated the sales-related internal control 
environment, as well as tested the effe-
ctiveness of the key controls. We also 
performed substantive audit procedu-
res, using e.g. data-analytics.

•  We tested the effectiveness of the 

processes to record sales transactions 
as well as the sales pricing and invoicing 
processes. We also tested inclusion of 
relevant transactions in the appropriate 
period in order to assess the accuracy of 
revenue recognition. 

•  We evaluated the IT systems relevant for 

revenue recognition.

•  We tested controls over cash trans- 

actions such as reconciliation routines. 

•  We considered the appropriateness of 

the disclosures presented for revenue in 
the consolidated financial statements.

• 

 At the year-end 2022 the goodwill amounted to 880 M€  
and accounted for 59% of the consolidated total assets  
and for 149% of the consolidated equity. In 2022 goodwill  
has increased with 31 M€.

•  Goodwill is tested for impairment at least annually. An  

impairment is recognised when the recoverable amount  
is less than the carrying value of the asset.

•  Terveystalo determines recoverable amounts for  

impairment tests based on value in use. Preparation  
of cash flow projections underlying impairment tests  
requires management judgments for profitability, long- 
term growth rate and discount rate.

•  The acquisition-related recognised assets for customer  
relationships and trademark and at the year-end 2022  
were in total 101 M€. These assets have finite useful  
lives and are amortised on a straight-line basis over  
their expected useful lives.

•  Given the high level of management judgment related to  
the forecasts used and the significant carrying amounts  
involved, valuation of goodwill and acquisition related  
intangible assets is considered a key audit matter.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director (CEO)  
for the Financial Statements 

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (CEO) are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial 
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as 
adopted by the EU, and of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the laws and regulations 
governing the preparation of financial statements in Finland and comply with statutory requirements. The Board of 
Directors and the Managing Director (CEO) are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary 
to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or 
error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors and the Managing Director (CEO) are responsible for 
assessing the parent company’s and the group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mat-
ters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The financial statements are prepared 
using the going concern basis of accounting unless there is an intention to liquidate the parent company or the group 
or cease operations, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 
good auditing practice will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud  
or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence 
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with good auditing practice, we exercise professional judgment and maintain pro-

fessional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

•  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, 
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from 
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
parent company’s or the group’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 

related disclosures made by management.

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors’ and the Managing Director’s (CEO) use of the going 
concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent company’s or the group’s ability to 
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention 
in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, 
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s 
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the parent company or the group to cease to continue as 
a going concern.

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, 

and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events so that the financial state-
ments give a true and fair view.

•  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activi-
ties within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the 
direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing 
of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify 
during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requi-
rements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably 
be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of 
most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. 
We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the mat-
ter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report 
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits 
of such communication.

We have acted as auditors appointed by the Annual General Meeting uninterrupted for eleven years. Terveystalo Plc 
became a public interest entity on 13 October 2017.

Other Information

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (CEO) are responsible for the other information. The other informa-

prior to the date of this auditor’s report, and the Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after that date. 
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified 
above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, 
or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. With respect to the report of 
the Board of Directors, our responsibility also includes considering whether the report of the Board of Directors has 
been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

In our opinion, the information in the report of the Board of Directors is consistent with the information in the finan-
cial statements and the report of the Board of Directors has been prepared in accordance with the applicable laws and 
regulations.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s 
report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 
We have nothing to report in this regard.
