Strategy and business
Year 2024

Terveystalo's year 2024 was very strong by all indicators. 
Our revenue grew by 4 percent to EUR 1.34 billion in 
2024, and adjusted EBITA was 12.8 percent of revenue. 
Earnings per share increased to EUR 0.57. The Board of 
Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting a 
dividend of EUR 0.48 per share (in accordance with our 
updated dividend policy) in 2025.
The Healthcare Services segment's good profit 
development continued throughout the year. Brisk 
revenue growth, structurally improved profitability, 
and record-high customer satisfaction create a strong 
foundation for the current year and the next phase 
of the strategy. Following our profit improvement 
In 2024, we achieved a strong result in a challenging environment. 
We exceeded the profitability target ahead of schedule, our 
financial position was strong, and customer satisfaction and 
professional engagement were at a record level.
Stronger in the new 
strategic phase 
CEO of Terveystalo Ville Iho:
programme, we have accelerated investments in our 
physical network and digital services to support organic 
growth. Our objective is to consistently improve our 
service competitiveness, customer value, medical quality, 
and operational efficiency. 
Revenue of the Portfolio businesses segment 
decreased during the year due to the planned 
termination of loss-making outsourcing agreements, 
elimination of low margin staffing contracts, and weak 
consumer purchasing power. However, profitability for 
the full year improved thanks to determined work in 
difficult market conditions. The portfolio businesses are 
now on a stronger footing, and the risks of old contracts

We support the UN 
Global Compact 
Terveystalo has signed the UN Global Compact 
(UNCG)initiative. We are committed to continuing 
our work to integrate the UNCG's environmental, 
human rights, labour and anti-corruption principles 
into our operations, culture and value chain. We have 
strengthened our commitment to human rights by 
adopting Terveystalo's first human rights policy and 
joining the UNGC's six-month Business & Human Rights 
Accelerator 2025 programme.

CEO of Terveystalo
have been reduced. During the current strategy period, 
the segment aims to enhance profitability, pursue 
growth in various services, including dental health, and 
explore new opportunities in public markets.
Revenue from the Swedish business also decreased 
due to expired contracts and weak demand caused 
by the macro environment. The market has been 
challenging for 18 months, but signs of recovery are 
emerging. In Sweden, the profitability programme 
initiated a year ago has led to cost adjustments and 
enhanced operational efficiency. The monthly financials 
already show an improvement in profitability. The 
programme will maintain its emphasis on enhancing 
operational efficiency while progressively expanding its 
focus on commercial activities. We anticipate that the 
impacts of the programme will become evident as a 
turnaround starting from early 2025, and the targeted 
SEK 120 million annual (run-rate) EBITA improvement to 
materialise during the year. 
Following a successful 2024, our company is stronger 
than ever. We have successfully reduced our risk profile 
and developed clear strategies to further enhance 
performance across our three business areas. Our focus 
remains on profitable growth, continuous improvement 
of service quality for our customers, and delivering 
shareholder value. We target a 10 percent EPS growth 
and aim to maintain a net debt to EBITDA ratio of a 
maximum of 2.5 times. In line with our commitment to 
our shareholders, we will distribute at least 80 percent 
of net profit as dividends. Long-term trends support 
the growth of private healthcare, and we have excellent 
prerequisites for long-term value creation. 
Advancing technology for fluent, 
caring, and effective healthcare
During the Capital Markets Day in December, we outlined 
our upcoming strategy phase and revised financial 
targets. As a company, we have a clear purpose; We 
fight for a healthier life. We want to provide solutions to 
the biggest sustainability challenges in healthcare and 
ensure timely access and the most effective care, while 
the population ages and the need for care increases. 
The chronic shortage of healthcare professionals in 
the industry requires that valuable intellectual capital 
is utilised in a sustainable way that creates value for 
society. These themes are also at the core of our strategy 
which revolves around providing fluent, caring, and 
effective integrated care for our customers, ensuring their 
needs are met in the best possible way. By seamlessly 
integrating services across different stages of the 
care path and effectively using data, we aim to offer 
exceptional customer experience and medical quality. 
Over the next two years, we will significantly improve 
the efficiency of appointment processes and support 
functions through the integration of automation and AI. 
Our sustained investments in our digital platform will 
facilitate this integration, ensuring that our customers 
benefit from the most advanced technologies available. 
We will continue to lead the industry and develop an 
efficient, effective, and customer-centric healthcare 
system that really works.
Meaningful matters,

Year 2024

Terveystalo updated its medium-term financial targets 
In December 2024, Terveystalo updated all its financial targets to reflect the company's 
improved performance and focus on value creation. Terveystalo is targeting profitable 
growth, moderate leverage ratio and attractive dividends. The target is that EPS grows on 
average by 10 percent1) p.a., net debt to EBITDA shall not exceed 2.5x and at least 80 percent 
of the net result is to be distributed as dividends. 
Terveystalo Ella – the future of Patient Information Systems 
for efficient and seamless appointments 
In 2024, Terveystalo launched a new interface, Ella, for its chat professionals. Ella is an 
application that combines chat interactions with patient information from the patient 
records system into a single, unified view. By streamlining workflows, Ella frees up time 
for professionals to engage with patients, enhances the quality of appointments, and 
accelerates chat-based operations. This supports the delivery of caring and effective 
care, improves the customer experience, and strengthens continuity of care. The system 
is being further developed for use not only in chat appointments but also across other 
appointment formats. Development is carried out in collaboration with healthcare 
professionals, aiming for most appointments — whether in physical clinics or remotely — 
to be managed through the new interface in the coming years. Ella saves professionals' 
time, increases productivity, reduces the strain of the workday, and makes Terveystalo the 
most attractive workplace, allowing professionals to focus on meaningful matters.
More effective preventive care with 
a new health check-up process 
Since the beginning of 2024, Terveystalo’s occupational health customers have 
benefited from Nightingale Health’s blood analysis as part of their health 
check-ups. This analysis helps identify the risk of developing common chronic 
diseases, supporting prevention efforts and, in the long term, alleviating the strain 
on healthcare services. Terveystalo is responsible for the health of approximately 
744,000 working-age Finns, offering more people the opportunity to recognise their 
personal health risks and receive support for lifestyle changes. Chronic diseases 
impair work ability and require continuous monitoring, yet many of these conditions 
are preventable. By the end of 2024, approximately 115,000 individual occupational 
health customers had already received a risk report based on the blood analysis. 
Finland’s most valued medical centre
In 2024, Terveystalo maintained its position as Finland’s 
most valued medical centre. In the Brand Appreciation 
Study conducted by Taloustutkimus and Alma 
Media, Terveystalo ranked first in its industry for both 
appreciation index and attractiveness. This marked the 
fourth consecutive year that Terveystalo has been the 
leader in its field, with its appreciation index increasing 
every year. The ranking reflects our commitment to 
providing fluent, caring and effective healthcare—and 
how this commitment is recognised by consumers.

Challenged 
public 
healthcare 
systems
Finland’s Social and Healthcare Reform aims to 
curb healthcare cost growth. At the same time, 
the well-being services counties are challenged by 
lengthening treatment queues, tight budgets and 
labour shortages. 
Publicly funded and privately provided healthcare in Finland 
is expected to grow. Through smooth cooperation and 
division of labour, the public and private sectors have the 
potential to address the challenges of the healthcare system.
The shortage of professionals is the biggest challenge 
facing the healthcare sector. The social welfare and 
healthcare sector in Finland is predicted to need as 
many as 200,000 new professionals over the next 15 
years to replace retiring employees and respond to the 
growing demand for services3). 
Constrained 
labour market
Maintaining the position as one of the most attractive 
employers in the industry and developing solutions that 
make professionals’ work more efficient, are essential in a 
limited professional market.
The Finnish population aged over 65 is expected to 
grow by 170,000 over the next 10 years.1) Spending on 
healthcare is on average three times higher compared 
to the population under 65.2)
Ageing 
population
Demand for healthcare is growing, especially for services used 
by older people. Terveystalo has the expertise and resources to 
prevent chronic diseases, provide high-quality and effective care 
for older people, and shorten the queues in the public sector.
Digitalisation & 
remote care
The benefits of digitalisation are essential to address 
the challenges in healthcare. Digitalisation can 
improve the access to services, quality, effectiveness 
and continuity of care, increase self-service rates, 
improve cost-effectiveness, and streamline and 
enhance the work of professionals.
Terveystalo's digital channels already have more than 2.6 million 
registered users. With digital solutions, we make sure that our 
professionals want to work for us and our customers get the 
best possible care. Our digital solutions alleviate the shortage of 
professionals and the care gap and enable the best medical and 
business outcomes as part of integrated care.

Strategy and business

Terveystalo operates in Finland in 
occupational health, primary health 
care, specialty care and well-being 
services. In Sweden, Terveystalo is, 
through its subsidiary Feelgood, one 
of Sweden's leading occupational 
health companies. 
Terveystalo’s addressable 
market in Finland 
In Finland, the size of the healthcare market is 
estimated at around EUR 18.1 billion, of which 
approximately 75 percent is publicly funded and 
provided. Privately provided healthcare accounts for 
25 percent, corresponding to EUR 4.5 billion, which 
includes publicly funded and privately provided 
and privately provided and funded healthcare. The 
privately provided market relevant to Terveystalo 
includes primary healthcare, dental care, specialty 
care, occupational healthcare and child welfare 
services. Terveystalo’s share of this entire market is 
about 25–30 percent. The privately provided market 
is expected to grow by around 3–4 percent between 
2023 and 2029. The privately funded occupational 
health market is estimated to grow by approximately 
3–4 percent, the consumer customer market by 
about 1–2 percent, and the insurance market at the 
fastest pace, around 5–6 percent.
The rapid ageing of the population, the care debt 
and the challenges of public healthcare will increase the 
need for privately provided care in the coming years.
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 pension costs. This has effects on public health as 
well as the total cost of health care. Terveystalo provides 
occupational health services in Finland to over 26,000 
companies and to a total of approximately 744,000 
people through its corporate customers.

Terveystalo’s addressable 
market in Sweden
In Sweden, the total cost of health care is estimated at 
around EUR 25 billion. About 82 percent is publicly funded 
and provided. Privately provided healthcare accounts 
for around 17 percent or EUR 4.3 billion, which includes 
publicly funded and privately provided and privately 
provided and funded healthcare. In Sweden, the privately 
provided and funded market consists largely of oral health 
services that are not offered by the public sector for people 
over 23 years, as well as employer-funded occupational 
healthcare. The private healthcare market in Sweden is 
quite fragmented; the combined market share of the ten 
largest players is around 40 percent. 
	
Market growth has historically been faster than in 
the Finnish market. The ageing of the population, lifestyle 
diseases, lengthened care queues in the public sector, 
growing awareness of health and well-being, and the 
increase in voluntary 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 including 
risk assessments, ergonomics and physiotherapy, organ-
isation and leadership consultation and prevention of 
harmful use. In addition, the company provides private 
healthcare 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 EUR 0.4 billion. Feelgood is Sweden's 
third largest provider of occupational health services with 
a market share of around 19 percent. The Swedish occu-
pational health system includes fewer services required 
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 subsid-
iary Feelgood serves approximately 8,000 corporate 
customers in Sweden, with a total of approximately one 
million occupational health end-customers.

Annual Report 2024

During the most recent strategy 
period, we have focused on 
achieving a clear improvement in 
profitability in our core business, 
Healthcare Services, and building 
the conditions for independent 
value creation in the Portfolio 
Businesses segment. We reached 
our profitability target of a 12% 
EBITA margin one year ahead of 
schedule, and we announced our 
new financial targets in December 
2024. In the next strategy 
period, we will focus on five 
strategic priorities. 
Terveystalo’s strategy 
Engaged team 
At Terveystalo, our purpose is 
to fight for a healthier life. We 
build a humane and functional work 
environment where our team can focus 
on meaningful matters. Our people 
strategy aims to ensure the engagement, 
job satisfaction and productivity of our 
professionals. Our goal is to be the best 
and most attractive place to work in 
our industry.
New medium-term 
financial targets
 
Profitable growth:  
EPS to grow on average 
by 10% p.a. 
We expect faster earnings per 
share growth in 2025, as fewer 
items affecting comparability 
are expected. 
Moderate leverage ratio:  
Net debt to EBITDA not to 
exceed 2.5x
Indebtedness may temporarily 
surpass the target level, 
particularly in conjunction 
with acquisitions. 
Attractive dividends:  
At least 80% of net result to be 
distributed as dividends
The dividend proposal must 
consider the company's 
long-term potential and 
financial status.
Profitable, organic growth
Our goal is profitable, organic 
growth. We seek growth in all 
customer groups and in several different 
service areas. One key area is to grow 
the insurance business by developing 
new partnership models, based on value 
creation, with insurance companies. In the 
public pay market, we seek growth through 
new partnerships, staffing services, digital 
solutions and network capacity sales. In 
addition, in the consumer and corporate 
customer segments, we focus on growth 
in selected specialties — such as paediatric 
health, mental health, orthopaedics and 
sleep medicine — where we see significant 
potential in terms of both meeting 
customer needs and profitable business 
growth. In dental health services, our goal 
is significant growth, which will respond to 
growing demand and support the overall 
health of customers.
Efficiency
Although our profitability has 
improved significantly over the 
past two years, there is still potential for 
profitability growth. The further development 
of digital solutions enables the continuous 
improvement of process efficiency and the 
productivity of operations. The automation of 
manual work, enhancing customer steering, 
smart resource planning and solutions aimed

Strategy and business

The core of our strategy is to always 
offer fluent, caring and effective 
integrated care to our customers. 
We develop digital solutions that 
ensure a smooth everyday life for our 
professionals, the best care outcomes 
for our customers and help address 
the care gap in the industry. With our 
integrated care model, we strive to 
achieve both a positive social impact 
and high profitability.  
At Terveystalo, integrated care means understanding 
our customers’ needs, preventing and managing 
health risks, guiding the customer to the right service 
and treatment, taking care of the patient throughout 
the care path, cooperating as teams of experts, and 
measuring and improving our outcomes. 
Our digital solutions play a key role in the 
development of integrated care paths. They ensure a 
fluent workday experience for our professionals, the 
best care and prevention outcomes for our customers, 
and help address the care gap in the industry. We use 
data to identify and prevent health risks and select 
the right treatment. We aim to increase the overall 
capacity of care through digital solutions so that we 
can offer quick access to care. We make the work of our 
professionals more fluent by developing digital tools 
and work processes, which increases job satisfaction 
and the productivity of operations. We improve the 
continuity of care by guiding the customer and the 
professional through the entire care path from the 
first contact to the end. We systematically measure 
the effectiveness of care using several different 
indicators, and we develop our operations to improve 
the outcomes. We support Finland’s wellbeing services 
counties in the digital transformation by providing 
them with modern and easy-to-use digital solutions and 
highly competent service production.
Our integrated care model aims for a positive social 
impact, which is reflected in maintaining the work ability 
of the working-age population and the prevention of 
illnesses, quick access to care, smooth care paths and the 
recovery of work ability, as well as the development of 
the industry as a whole.

Strategy and business

At Terveystalo, our purpose is to 
fight for a healthier life. We build 
a humane and functional work 
environment where our team can 
focus on meaningful matters. Our 
people strategy aims to ensure the 
engagement, job satisfaction and 
productivity of our professionals. 
Our goal is to be the best and most 
attractive place to work in our industry. 
As the need for care increases due to the ageing of 
the population, the shortage of professionals is the 
greatest challenge in healthcare. It is a key strategic 
goal for us to ensure that we have an adequate 
number of engaged and highly competent healthcare 
professionals to meet the growing demand and 
achieve our strategic targets. Our goal is to be the best 
and most attractive place to work in our industry.
As an employer, our attractiveness and the 
well-being at work and job satisfaction of our 
employees are the foundation for everything we do. 
We strengthen our attractiveness as a workplace 
by providing professionals with interesting and 
meaningful work, competitive pay, diverse career and 
development opportunities, good leadership and 
humanely efficient workplace, as well as ensuring 
that they can work smoothly and focus on meaningful 
matters. We have systematically developed our 
operations in these areas for years now, and we have 
been ranked as one of the most attractive employers in 
our industry in Finland for several consecutive years1).
Our most important strategic initiatives for the strategy 
period 2024–2026 are as follows: 
•	 developing our professionals' user experience in the 
digital work environment 
•	 developing resource management and shift 
planning tools 
•	 the renewal of remuneration models
•	 developing management and leadership skills 
•	 an expanded training offering.
We invest significantly in management structures and 
leadership skills. By focusing on our key leadership 
roles, we build the foundation for excellence and 
create a sustainable, fair, energetic and results-driven 
corporate culture.
The most important indicator of our success is the 
company’s long-term value creation. We measure the 
success of our people strategy by means of an employee 
engagement index, eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score), 
sickness absences and the exit turnover of our personnel, 
among other indicators.

The Healthcare Services business 
segment offers customers in Finland 
integrated care paths from preventive 
occupational health services to 
primary care services and specialised 
care, diagnostics and day surgery. 
In the Healthcare Services segment, 
Terveystalo’s goal is to be the best 
provider of integrated care and to 
grow profitably.

the NPS for appointments was 88.
•	 Terveystalo maintained its position as the most 
respected private medical centre in Finland.1)
•	 We incorporated our partner Nightingale Health’s 
blood analysis technology into occupational health 
examinations, which enables more effective disease 
prevention and reduces the burden of healthcare. 
By the end of 2024, approximately 115,000 of our 
individual occupational healthcare customers had 
received a risk report based on a blood analysis.
Healthcare services
•	 We introduced a new treatment model for chronic 
diseases for our occupational health customers. 
The model ensures that the monitoring of long-term 
illnesses is carried out in an optimal manner and that 
challenges related to work ability are prevented even 
more effectively than before.
•	 We achieved growth in key specialties such as 
orthopaedics, gynaecology and mental health. 
We launched the Terveystalo Hospital concept to 
support growth.

the out-of-pocket consumer market.
•	 We will develop our digital solutions, thereby enhancing 
the customer experience and the professional experience, 
as well as the efficiency of our operations.
•	 We will develop our services across the entire care path,

The Portfolio Businesses segment 
consists of businesses that focus 
on value creation, leveraging 
Terveystalo’s capabilities as needed. 
The Portfolio Businesses segment 
includes publicly funded services, 
such as outsourcing and staffing 
services, as well as services aimed 
at consumers, including dental care 
and massage. 
Portfolio Businesses
The Sweden segment consists of the 
services provided by the Feelgood 
subsidiaries, focusing on occupational 
health, organisational management 
consulting and addiction prevention 
services. Terveystalo aims to 
significantly improve profitability in 
Sweden in the short term. 
Sweden
Business areas
Achievements in 2024 
•	 Revenue decreased due to proactive customer 
selection in staffing services, weakened demand 
for dental care and a continuation of the planned 
reduction in the outsourcing portfolio. 
•	 Profitability strengthened year-on-year due to 
termination of low-margin outsourcing contracts 
and improved operational efficiency.
•	 The new Terveyskumppani organisation 
strengthens cooperation with Finland’s wellbeing 
services counties.
•	 Terveystalo’s digital platform is already in use in 
four wellbeing services counties. 
The business segment's 
focus areas 
•	 We target 5 percent annual revenue growth and 
10 percent EBITA margin by 2029. 
•	 In the public pay market, we will grow through 
new partnerships, staffing services, digital 
solutions and network capacity sales. 
•	 In dental health, our goal is to double our 
revenue and significantly improve profitability by 
expanding our services
Achievements in 2024 
•	 Revenue decreased year-on-year due to expired 
contracts and weaker demand.
•	 Profitability was weakened by the decline 
in revenue, as well as cost inflation. A profit 
improvement programme was launched towards 
the end of 2023, aiming to achieve a structural 
change in profitability in 2025. The programme 
progressed as planned in 2024, and the cost 
structure was adjusted to respond to weakened 
demand. The effects of the measures were reflected 
in a decline in wage costs in the second half 
of the year. 
The business segment's 
focus areas 
•	 The near-term focus is on ensuring the turnaround 
in profitability and structurally strengthening 
profitability when compared to the historical levels.
•	 The objective of the profit improvement programme 
is to achieve an annual run-rate EBITA improvement 
of at least SEK 120 million during 2025. Once the 
cost structure has been adjusted, the focus of the 
programme will shift to improving operational 
efficiency and commercial measures.
•	 In the longer term, profitable growth can be 
sought in high-margin services that support 
occupational health.

Proposal for the distribution 
of profits
The parent company’s distributable funds totaled EUR 558.9 
(535.9) million, of which EUR 61.0 (40.5) million is the result 
for the financial year. The Board of Directors proposes to the 
Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.48 (0.30) 
per share be paid based on the balance sheet adopted 
for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 (which 
corresponds to a total of approximately EUR 60.8 (38.0) 
million with the current number of shares in the Company). 
The dividend would be paid in two instalments as follows:
•	 The first dividend instalment of EUR 0.24 per share 
would be paid to shareholders who are entered in the 
shareholders’ register of the Company maintained 
by Euroclear Finland Oy on the record date of the 
first dividend instalment 10 April 2025. The Board of

dividend instalment 8 October 2025. The Board of

book-entry system change or otherwise so require.

General Meeting of Shareholders
The General Meeting of Shareholders is Terveystalo’s 
highest decision-making body. The Annual General 
Meeting is held annually on a date determined by the 
Board of Directors, within six (6) months of the end of 
the financial year. An Extraordinary General Meeting is 
convened when necessary.
The Annual General Meeting deals with matters 
falling within its competence pursuant to the Finnish 
Limited Liability Companies Act and Terveystalo’s 
Articles of Association, and any possible other 
matters. More detailed information about the General 
Meeting of Shareholders is provided in Terveystalo’s 
Articles of Association, which can be found on the 
Company's website at https://www.terveystalo.com/
en/company/investors/corporate-governance/. The 
Annual General Meeting for 2024 was held on 26 
March 2024. The decisions of each General Meeting of 
Shareholders can be found on Terveystalo's website at 
https://www.terveystalo.com/en/company/investors/

Shareholders’ Nomination Board
In accordance with the decision of the General Meeting 
of Shareholders, the Shareholders’ Nomination Board 
(hereinafter referred to as the “Nomination Board”) 
annually prepares proposals to the next Annual General 
Meeting concerning the number of members on the 
Board of Directors and their election and remuneration. 
It also identifies candidates for members of the 
Board of Directors. The Nomination Board consists of 
the Chair of the Company’s Board of Directors and, 
generally, representatives of the Company’s four largest 
shareholders. If the ownership of the Company’s fifth 
largest shareholder exceeds 10 percent of all the shares 
and votes in the Company, the five largest shareholders 
shall be represented in the Nomination Board. If a 
shareholder refrains from exercising their right to 
appoint a representative to the Nomination Board, 
the right of appointment shall pass to the next largest 
shareholder according to the shareholder register. The 
composition of the Nomination Board is determined 
based on the shareholdings on the first bank day of 
September preceding each Annual General Meeting. 
The Chair of the Board of Directors convenes 
the first meeting of the Nomination Board. The 
Nomination Board elects a Chair from among its 
members. Subsequent meetings of the Nomination 
Board are convened by the elected Chair. If more than 
half of the members of the Nomination Board are 
present, they constitute a quorum. The Nomination 
Board has a written charter which includes a more 
detailed description of the appointment process 
and the duties of the Nomination Board members 
as well as the procedures of the Nomination Board’s 
meetings. A description of the main contents of the 
charter of the Nomination Board can be found on

Terveystalo’s Nomination Board consists of the 
representatives of the Company’s four largest 
shareholders based on the ownership situation on 2 
September 2024, and the Chair of the Board of Directors. 
When a shareholder refrains from exercising their right 
to appoint a representative, the right of appointment 
passes to the next largest shareholder according to 
the shareholder register. In accordance with the above,

Nomination Board as of 27 September 2024: Risto Murto

Description of the work of 
the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter 
of the Board of Directors on 23 January 2018 and 
last updated it on 13 February 2025. The charter 
supplements the provisions of the Company's Articles of 
Association and the applicable laws and regulations. The 
charter of the Board of Directors describes, among other 
things, the Board’s composition, election process of the 
directors reporting directly to the CEO, responsibilities 
of the Board of Directors, meeting arrangements, and 
Terveystalo’s executive management’s reporting to the 
Board of Directors. 
The Board of Directors takes care of tasks pertaining to 
its area of responsibility in accordance with the applicable 
legislation, Terveystalo’s Articles of Association, 
the charter of the Board of Directors, the Corporate 
Governance Code, and other rules and regulations 
applicable to Finnish listed companies. 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 of Shareholders 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 appropriate 
supervision of the Company’s accounting and asset 
management. The Board of Directors decides on matters 
of principle and on any issues that can have broad-
ranging implications for the Company. 
The Board of Directors decides on major corporate 
plans and transactions concerning the Company. The 
Board of Directors also establishes limits for capital 
Independence of the Board of Directors 
In accordance with the Corporate Governance Code, 
the majority of the member of the Board of Directors 
shall be independent of the Company and at least two 
members who are independent of the Company shall 
also be independent of the significant shareholders 
of the Company. The Board of Directors evaluates 
its independence annually in accordance with the 
Corporate Governance Code.
According to the Board of Directors' assessment, 
in 2024, all members of the Board of Directors were 
independent of the Company. Kari Kauniskangas, Sofia 
Hasselberg, Ari Lehtoranta, Carola Lemne, Kristian 
Pullola and Teija Sarajärvi are in addition independent 
of the major shareholders of the Company. According 
to the Board of Directors’ assessment, Matts Rosenberg 
(Chief Executive Officer, Rettig) is not independent 
of the major shareholders of the Company due to 
his main occupation. Katri Viippola, who served as 
a member of the Board of Directors until 26 March 
2024, was independent of the Company but not of 
its major shareholders as she acted as SVP, HR and 
Communications of Varma Mutual Pension Insurance 
Company until spring 2023.
Changes to the Board of Directors 
Kari Kauniskangas (Chair), Matts Rosenberg, Sofia 
Hasselberg, Ari Lehtoranta, Carola Lemne, Kristian Pullola,

in cultures, values, and ways of conducting business. In 
accordance with the Company's principles concerning 
diversity applied in 2024, diversity was assessed from a 
number of aspects, including age, gender, education, and 
professional background. Both genders were required to 
be represented on the Board of Directors. In planning the 
composition of the Board of Directors, the Nomination 
Board considers the composition of the Board from the 
perspective of the Company’s current and future business 
needs, taking into account the diversity of the Board. 
In 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors met the 
diversity criteria. The members of the Board of Directors 
represent expertise in, for example, the healthcare sector, 
but also from various other industries. The members 
have extensive experience in different leadership roles 
across various industries in companies serving different 
customer groups. They represent knowledge of business 
conduct in the Company's target markets in Finland 
and Sweden as well as, among other things, of strategic 
and financial management, risk management, business 
ethics, compliance, and topics related to sustainability 
(ESG). The Board of Directors includes members who 
are trained as doctors but it also includes members 
with different educational backgrounds. Persons from 
outside of Finland accounted for two (29 percent) of 
both the members of the Board of Directors that served 
until 26 March 2024 and of those who served from that 
date onwards.
The age span of the members of the Board of Directors 
that served until 26 March 2024, was 40–65 years as at

3. Descriptions of internal 
control procedures and the main 
features of risk management 
systems
Risk management
Risk management is part of Terveystalo’s management 
system. The Company applies a risk management and 
internal control policy adopted by the Board of Directors. 
The purpose of risk management is to ensure fulfilment 
of the customer promise, 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 organisation. Risk management must be consistent 
and commensurable. It is important to understand 
the causes and consequences of risks and to ensure 
that the risk management measures are correct and 
properly targeted.
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 
minimising damage if a risk is realised
•	 Ensuring data security, data protection, and 
environmental responsibility
•	 Improving risk awareness within the organisation
•	 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 
management and its adequacy and adopts the risk 
management policy. The CEO is responsible for 
organising risk management in the Group. The rest of 
the Executive Team support the CEO in implementing 
risk management, monitoring and assessing risks, and is 
responsible for implementing risk-related actions within 
their respective areas of responsibility.
Risk management process 
Risks are assessed on all levels of Terveystalo Group’s 
organisation. Terveystalo identifies risks using, for 
example, operating environment and stakeholder 
analyses, performance indicators, market analyses, 
effectiveness data, customer feedback, register data, 
inspection reports and inquiries from the authorities, 
occupational safety risk surveys, incident information, 
results of audits, and competitor information. Terveystalo’s 
risk management is assessed annually in internal and 
external 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 
management 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 Group’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 
operation are complied with. Internal control is based on 
Terveystalo’s risk management system, business culture, 
and respective practices. The Group’s values, Code of 
Conduct, and Group policies and principles, such as the 
risk management and internal control policy, financial 
policy, procurement policy, disclosure policy, and 
approval authorisations, 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, secure 
sufficient internal controls, and ensure the accuracy of 
financial reporting. It aims to create a uniform control 
environment by applying appropriate internal control 
principles in the various business processes. Terveystalo 
uses WhistleB, a reporting channel open for everyone. 
This channel enables anonymous reporting of observed 
or suspected misconduct at  
https://www.report.whistleb.com/en/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 implementation of an efficient 
control environment and control measures related to 
the reliability of financial reporting to the CEO. The CFO 
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 realisations. 
Monitoring of monthly performance in relation to the 
specified targets is an essential factor. These control 
measures are carried out at different organisational levels.

the management in performing their control duties. 
The Company has outsourced internal audit to be carried 
out by authorised public accountants. On the basis of a 
report drafted by the authorised 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 accordance 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 establishing 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 include reviewing the 
annual plans and work results of the other second 
line of defence players. In 2024, audit was conducted 
on Terveystalo’s procurement company process and 
pricing 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 organisation 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 among its related parties. The Company’s related 
parties include the Group companies and associated 
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 
or joint control. In agreements and other legal acts 
between the Company or its Group companies and 
its related parties, practices falling into the ordinary 
course of business of the Company and market terms 
shall be followed. If a transaction with the Company’s 
related parties would not be part of the ordinary course 
of business of the Company or if it deviates 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 or its Group companies and its 
related parties, provisions on conflicts of interest shall 
be observed, as applicable, and the persons connected 
to the related party in question shall not participate 
in the decision-making process regarding the related 
party transaction.

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

and their closely associated persons were obliged 
to report to the Company and the FIN-FSA their

was reached within a calendar year. In accordance with 
Terveystalo's insider policy updated on 13 February 2025,

closely associated persons reported to the Company by 
a stock exchange release.
The managers and persons involved in the 
preparation of the Company’s financial reviews, i.e. 
those who participate in the preparation or publication 
of interim reports and annual financial statements 
/ financial statements releases shall not, directly or 
indirectly, carry out transactions with the Company’s 
financial instruments themselves or on behalf of a third 
party, or advise anyone to do so, during a silent period

I. Introduction
This Remuneration Policy of Terveystalo Plc is the Policy 
referred to in reporting requirements of the Finnish 
Corporate Governance Code 2025 for listed companies 
issued by the Securities Market Association. This policy

for governing bodies at Terveystalo Group. This 
policy has been approved by the Board of Directors of 
Terveystalo Plc and will be presented to the Annual 
General Meeting in the spring 2025.
The remuneration policy approved by the 2024 Annual 
General Meeting has been updated, specifying that the 
remuneration elements of the Board of Directors are 
examples. Secondly, the section describing the travel 
expenses of Board of Directors’ has been updated to 
cover other expenses directly related to the work of a

specified to be exemplary and to cover various insurances. 
In addition, the descriptions of the CEO’s short-term and 
long-term incentive earning opportunities have been 
modified to include target level earnings, in addition to 
the maximum level. The maximum level of the short-term 
incentive has also been revised upwards. For long-term 
incentive, both the target and maximum levels have been 
revised upwards. With these clarifications, the section 
'Proportion of remuneration elements' has been removed. 
Terveystalo Remuneration 
Policy of Governing Bodies
Remuneration at Terveystalo is based on the 
principles of performance, fairness and competitiveness. 
These remuneration principles apply to all Terveystalo 
employees and the purpose is to ensure that 
Terveystalo as an employer attracts motivated and 
competent professionals. 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 
strategy. 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 targets.
Remuneration is designed to attract and retain 
the desired 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 achievement 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 principles 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 
changes in the legislation.
2. 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 Annual 
General Meeting makes the final decision on the Board of 
Directors’ remuneration. According to the decision of the 
Annual General Meeting, 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 
remuneration 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.

strategic priorities for the year.
Performance is measured over a one-year period and potential rewards are paid in the following year. The terms of the Short-Term Incentive plan are 
described on the company website.
Performance criteria: 
•	 Performance criteria are set annually by the Board based on the key priorities for the financial year. Criteria may include both financial and non-financial

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 
percent 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 
terminated 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.
Supplementary information
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 setting 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 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. 
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 payment were agreed prior to the presentation of 
this Policy to the AGM. 
5. 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:

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 
2024, the Remuneration Report 2023 
was given an advisory approval, and 
no further aspects were presented. 
Thus, the Remuneration Report 2024 
is mainly similar, but the targets and 
results of the incentive schemes are 
introduced broader.
 
Terveystalo’s revenue has improved steadily over the 
last five years, excluding the exceptional year 2020. 
During 2022, revenue improvement continued, but 
profitability did not reach its targets. The weakening of 
the profitability is visible in short-term incentives paid in 
2023. In 2023, profitability improved again thanks to the 
profit improvement program started in 2022, and thus 
the short-term incentives earned from 2023 and paid in 
the beginning of 2024 are on higher level.
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, 2022 and 2024. 
In accordance with the Remuneration Policy, 
remuneration 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. 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 included short-term incentives for the 
year 2020. As a part of the Company’s mitigation measures

1)  Total remuneration includes other financial benefits and meeting fees for Board members, and short- and long-term incentives for the CEO in addition 
to fixed annual fee/salary.
2) The average salary development of employees has been calculated by dividing the personnel costs for each year (excluding other social security 
costs) by the average number of personnel.
due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CEO’s short-term 
incentive earning opportunity was restricted to 50% of the 
normal level. In 2023, the overall compensation level was 
significantly impacted by the low outcome of short-term 
incentives from 2022. The total remuneration of the CEO 
for 2024 is again at a higher level, due to good financial 
development in 2023 and higher incentives paid in 2024. 
The CEO's base salary was also adjusted during 2024 to 
reflect the market level.
The average salary development of employees 
has shown a rising trend. Approximately 65% of the 
personnel is covered by collective agreements, and 
the general increases determined in the collective 
agreements mainly guide the salary development of this 
personnel group.

1) Total annual compensation consists of stock award (40%) and cash compensation (60%).
2) Other financial benefits include transfer tax fees for the annual fees paid in shares.
At the target level, CEO's short-term incentive 
corresponds to 100 percent of the annual base salary. 
At the maximum level, the short-term incentive can be 
150 percent of the annual base salary.
	
In 2024, the CEO’s compensation consisted of the 
fixed annual salary and the short-term incentive paid 
for 2023, corresponding to 89 percent of the fixed 
annual salary, and the long-term incentive paid from 
2021—2023, corresponding to 34 percent of the fixed 
annual salary.
The 2023 short-term incentive was based on 
40 percent weight on adjusted EBITA, on 40 percent 
weight on the profit improvement program started 
in 2022 and on 20 percent weight on eNPS score. The 
outcome of EBITA was between target and maximum 
levels, profit improvement program reached the 
maximum level, and eNPS was below minimum level. 
Short-term incentive resulted a total outcome of 
106 percent of the target level.

The long-term incentive 2021—2023 was based on 
60 percent weight on relative Total Shareholder 
Return (TSR) and on 40 percent weight on Digital 
Footprint, which consisted of two components: 
Productivity and Digital Sales. The outcome of the 
relative TSR measurement was below minimum, but 
the Digital Footprint’s outcome was between target 
and maximum level. Thus, the long-term incentive 
2021—2023 resulted a total outcome of 47 percent 
of the target.
Based on the 2024 short-term incentive program, 
the CEO will receive a payment of EUR 577,662 in 
the spring of 2025, which corresponds to 123 percent 
of the fixed annual salary. In the performance 
period 2024, the short-term incentives were based 
on the following indicators: 80 percent weight on 
adjusted EBITA, 10 percent weight on eNPS score, 
and 10 percent weight on medical quality score PEI 
(Patient Enablement Instrument) measuring the 
patients' ability to deal with their illness after the 
appointment. The outcome of EBITA was between 
target and maximum levels, eNPS was below the 
minimum level, and PEI reached the maximum 
level. Thus, the 2024 STI resulted a total outcome of 
128 percent of the target.

Operating environment
Target markets
Demand for healthcare services in Finland was strong 
in 2024, especially among corporate and insurance 
customers. The supply and booking rates were at a good 
level. The autumn flu season started earlier than usual, 
and morbidity was higher than normal, leading to some 
increase in visits. The overall employment situation 
in Finland is good. Demand for out-of-pocket dental 
care services and massage services was dampened by 
weaker consumer confidence and purchasing power. 
Only smaller tenders for digital services were seen in the 
publicly funded market. 
In Sweden, the demand for occupational health 
services was satisfactory, while demand for organisation 
and leadership consultation and harmful use 
rehabilitation services continued to be weak. The 
termination of public sector contracts at the beginning 
of 2024 reduced revenue. 
Terveystalo continued to invest in the recruitment of 
professionals and was successful in steadily increasing 
supply. To strengthen supply, development efforts have 
been increasingly shifted towards solutions that enhance 
the work and productivity of professionals. 
The long-term growth prospects for Terveystalo’s 
addressable markets in Finland and Sweden are solid; 
the underlying demand is strong, and megatrends, such 
In other professions, wage inflation is also present. 
Most of the physicians who work in Terveystalo are 
private practitioners (approximately 96 percent), who are 
not in employment with the company. At the beginning 
of 2024, Terveystalo introduced a new remuneration 
model for private practitioners in occupational health, 
which enables more effective inflation management.
In addition, Terveystalo has implemented commercial 
initiatives to mitigate the effect of inflation as a part of 
the profit improvement programme.
From 1 September 2024, the general VAT rate in 
Finland went up from 24 percent to 25.5 percent. 
The increase in the VAT rate is estimated to 
increase Terveystalo's costs by approximately 
EUR 2 million annually. 
The treatment queues and 
regulatory environment in Finland
The contraction of non-urgent care during COVID-19 
restrictions resulted in a significant treatment gap 
for other illnesses. According to the Finnish Institute 
for Health and Welfare (THL), at the end of August 
2024, more than 166,000 patients were waiting for 
non-urgent specialist care in the well-being services 
counties, which was 4000 more than in April 2024. 
In August, almost 18 percent, or more than 31,000 
patients, had been waiting more than six months 
for access to treatment. The number grew by almost 
as the ageing population, digitalisation of healthcare, 
and lengthening queues in public healthcare, support 
growth in the future. As one of the most preferred 
employers, Terveystalo is well-positioned to drive 
growth going forward, supported by its strong 
market position. 
The impacts of inflation
Inflation levelled off during the year. Terveystalo 
actively negotiated with its suppliers to limit the impact 
of inflation on costs. Also, electricity prices levelled off 
from the comparison period. One of the key areas of 
the profit improvement programme was to mitigate 
the impacts of inflation and reduce costs in selected 
product and service categories.
During the spring 2024, a new two-year collective 
agreement was negotiated for the private healthcare 
sector for the period 1 May 2024–30 April 2026, 
covering the largest group of employees at Terveystalo, 
nurses. In 2024, salaries were increased by 2.4 percent 
with a general and scale increase on 1 September 
2024, plus there was a one-off payment of 500 euros 
in December 2024 and a local instalment of 0.4 
percent. In 2025, from 1 May 2025 to 30 April 2026 
(12 months), salaries will be increased by a general 
and scaled increase, the amount and timing of which 
will be determined by the salary increases in certain 
benchmark sectors.
4,000 patients during the summer of 2024. Valvira 
(The National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and 
Health) has ordered 14 wellbeing services counties 
and the HUS Group to make access to non-urgent 
specialised care legally compliant by 31 March 2025 
at the latest. At the beginning of 2025, the maximum 
time limits for access to primary care were extended, 
i.e. the guarantee of care was relaxed. The guarantee 
is now three months for outpatient primary care and 
six months for dental care. The maximum time limits 
for follow-up visits to doctors, dentists, and specialist 
dentists were also extended. At the beginning of the 
year, the Health Care Act was amended to allow public 
service providers, such as well-being areas, to procure 
surgery from the private sector to a greater extent. The 
amendment will be complemented by a decree at the 
beginning of 2025. The decree will specify the services 
that can be procured from the private sector.
The government programme, published in the 
summer of 2023, aims to increase cooperation 
between private and public healthcare to improve 
the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of the service 
system. The government has already followed up on 
its programme by increasing Kela reimbursements 
from 1 January 2024 (https://www.kela.fi/sairaanhoito). 
On 9 October 2024, the Government outlined that 
the Kela reimbursement system will be completely 
reformed in 2025 (Government to reform Kela 
reimbursements - The Ministry of Social Affairs and 
Terveystalo

Health (stm.fi/en)). The reimbursement of fertility 
treatments will be increased, most likely during the 
spring of 2025. Reimbursements for ophthalmologists, 
gynaecologists, dental care, and mental health services 
will be reformed and increased. Reimbursement for 
physiotherapy and visits to oral hygienists will also 
be developed. The changes are planned to come 
into force during the first half of 2025. A freedom-
of-choice pilot for people aged 65 and over will be 
launched in autumn 2025. A personal doctor model 
will be explored, and trials will be launched. In total, 
EUR 500 million is planned to be allocated to all the 
above reforms during the government term, of which 
EUR 335 million will be provided by the state. By 
reallocating reimbursements, the government aims to 
promote access to services and freedom of choice. The 
government also intends to remove other legal barriers 
to the use of private providers in the wellbeing services 
counties. The measures are expected to support the 
growth in demand for private services and create new 
opportunities for the delivery of publicly funded and 
privately provided services. 
Impact of the global political 
situation and conflicts
The direct impacts of political tensions and conflicts, 
such as the war in Ukraine, have been minimal to 
Terveystalo. The company does not have business 
operations in or with Ukraine, Israel, or countries that 
are subject to sanctions. The indirect financial impact 
arises from inflation and potential disruptions in 
the supply chain and financial markets. The indirect 
economic impacts are visible in weakened consumer 
confidence and purchasing power. The impacts may 
also have a delayed economic impact through declining 
employment, which could negatively impact the 
demand for Terveystalo’s services. 
Guidance for 2025
Terveystalo expects its full-year 2025 revenue to grow 
(2024: EUR 1,340 million) and adjusted EBIT to be 
10.7–11.8 percent of revenue (2024: 10.5 percent).
The estimates are based on a stable demand 
environment, employment levels, and typical 
morbidity rates. Due to ending contracts, they account 
for a decrease of approximately EUR 25 million in 
revenue within the Portfolio Businesses segment's 
outsourcing operations. Profitability is expected to 
strengthen in all business segments. The estimates do 
not account for significant acquisitions or divestments.
Medium-term financial targets
Profitable growth:
•	 EPS to grow on average by 10 percent p.a. 
•	 We expect faster earnings per share growth in 2025, 
as fewer items affecting comparability are expected.
Moderate leverage ratio:
•	 Net debt to EBITDA not to exceed 2.5x
•	 Indebtedness may temporarily surpass the target 
level, particularly in conjunction with acquisitions.
Attractive dividends:
•	 At least 80 percent of net result to be distributed as 
dividends
•	 The dividend proposal must consider the 
company's long-term potential and financial status.
Financial targets until 
the end of 2024
Terveystalo’s financial targets are: 
•	 annual revenue growth of at least 5 percent through 
organic growth and acquisitions 
•	 an adjusted EBITA margin of at least 12 percent in 
2025 
•	 net debt / adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.5x or less. 
However, indebtedness may temporarily exceed the 
target level, such as in conjunction with acquisitions.
•	 to distribute a minimum of 40 percent of net profit as 
dividends annually. However, the dividend proposal 
must consider Terveystalo’s long-term development 
potential and financial position.

Financial development
Revenue 
In 2024, the Group’s revenue increased by 4.2 percent 
year-on-year to EUR 1,340.0 (1,286.4) million.
The Healthcare Services segment revenue increased 
by 9.9 percent and was EUR 1,042.8 (948.6) million. The 
revenue increase was mainly driven by improved sales 
mix and successful commercial actions. Revenue grew in 
all customer and service groups. 
The Portfolio Businesses segment revenue decreased 
by 10.7 percent and was EUR 238.5 (267.2) million. 
Revenue decreased in all businesses. 
The revenue from Sweden decreased by 11.6 percent 
due to lower demand and ended contracts and came 
to EUR 81.8 (92.5) million. Without the currency effect, 
the revenue decreased by 11.7 percent. Acquisitions 
increased revenue in Sweden by approximately 
EUR 2.5 million.
In 2024, there were 252 (251) working days.
Financial performance 
and cash flow 
The Group’s adjusted earnings in 2024 before interest, 
taxes, amortisation, and impairment losses (EBITA) 
increased by 36.2 percent to EUR 171.0 (125.6) million, 
representing 12.8 (9.8) percent of revenue.
The profitability improved in Healthcare 
Services and Portfolio Businesses. Profitability was 
strengthened by successful commercial actions; 
better sales mix and improved operational efficiency. 
Higher personnel costs due to wage increases had a 
negative impact on profitability in the fourth quarter. 
In Sweden, profitability weakened clearly from the 
comparison period, mainly due to decreased revenue 
caused by lower demand and ended contracts. 
 Material expenses and service purchasing 
increased by 2.5 percent year-on-year and amounted 
to EUR -549.8 (-536.2) million. Employee benefit 
expenses decreased by 4.3 percent year-on-year 
and amounted to EUR -427.8 (-447.0) million. 
Personnel costs decreased due to the actions of the 
profit improvement programme, lower sick leaves 
and terminated outsourcing contracts. Personnel 
costs, on the other hand, increased due to new 
recruitments, as well as salary increases. Other 
operating expenses increased by 12.1 percent to 
EUR -143.7 (-128.2) million. Of the other expenses, 
around EUR 6 million was related to renovation and 
maintenance liabilities in a single location. 
The Group’s adjusted EBITDA increased by 22.8 
percent year-on-year to EUR 245.9 (200.2) million. 
Adjusted EBIT amounted to EUR 140.5 (93.1) million. 
Operating profit (EBIT) came to EUR 116.1 (-14.7) 
million. In the comparison period, the operating 
result was negatively impacted by write-offs 
totalling EUR 84.6 million related to goodwill and 
to purchase price allocations relating to public 
outsourcing customer relationships within the 
Portfolio Businesses.
Net financing costs increased to EUR -26.5 (-24.2) 
million mainly due to higher interest rates. The result 
before tax was EUR 89.6 (-38.9) million. Income 
taxes were EUR -18.0 (-3.3) million. The result for the 
reporting period amounted to EUR 71.7 (-42.2) million, 
and earnings per share were EUR 0.57 (-0.33). 
Cash flow from operating activities increased to 
EUR 223.7 (157.8) million, driven mainly by improved 
profitability development, the impact of which was 
strengthened by a decrease in working capital.
Cash flow from investing activities decreased to EUR 
-47.4 (-44.2) million. The change from the comparison 
period mainly consisted of an increase in investments 
in acquisitions and tangible fixed assets and decrease 
in investments in intangible assets.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted 
to EUR -148.8 (-116.0) million. The difference to the 
comparison period was mainly due to refinancing 
and increased net financial expenses during the 
reporting period.

Profit improvement programmes 
During the fourth quarter of 2022, Terveystalo launched 
a profit improvement programme, which aimed for 
an inflation-adjusted, annualised (run-rate) EBITA 
improvement of at least EUR 50 million by the end of 
2024. The overall target of the programme was exceeded 
at the end of 2023, when the measures implemented 
were estimated to have an annual run-rate impact of over 
EUR 60 million on profitability. The adjusted EBITA impact 
of the programme during 2023 was EUR 37 million. In 
2024, measures were focused on achieving the 12 percent 
profitability target (adjusted EBITA-%) during 2025. The 
target was achieved already in 2024.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, a profit 
improvement programme was launched in Sweden 
targeting a structural change in the profitability in 
2025. The cost structure has been adjusted to match the 
weakened demand, which started to be reflected, among 
other things, in lower personnel costs in the second half 
of the year. The programme will now focus on improving 
operational efficiency and commercial measures.
The total costs related to the programmes in 
2022–2024 were EUR 45.1 million. The costs are related to 
restructuring and advisory fees. Advisory fees are tied to 
the results achieved by the programmes. The costs of the 
programmes are treated as items affecting comparability. 
The costs of the programmes were approximately 
EUR 18.1 million in 2024. In 2023, the costs amounted to 
EUR 21.7 million. In 2025 the costs are estimated to be 
EUR 7 million. 
Financial position 
Terveystalo’s liquidity position is strong. Cash and cash 
equivalents at the end of the reporting period amounted 
to EUR 65.2 (37.7) million. The total assets of the Group 
amounted to EUR 1,398.4 (1,419.5) million. 
Equity attributable to owners of the parent company 
totalled EUR 548.2 (515.4) million. 
Gearing (including lease liabilities) was 92.1 (116.0) 
percent and net debt amounted to EUR 504.8 (598.1) 
million. Net debt, excluding IFRS 16 (lease liabilities) 
amounted to EUR 313.0 (379.0) million. The average 
maturity of Terveystalo's financial loans was 3.0 (3.0) 
years at the end of the reporting period, and in 2024, 
the average interest rate for loans from financial 
institutions was 4.9 (4.0) percent. During the reporting 
period, the company fulfilled the covenant requirement 
included in its financing agreements reflecting 
relative indebtedness. 
During the reporting period, the company signed 
agreements for long-term loans of total EUR 200 million 
and refinanced the current revolving credit facility (RCF). 
The loans are bullet loans, and the maturity of the loans 
is three years supplemented by two one-year extension 
options. The loans were withdrawn fully and used to 
refinance bank loans maturing during 2025 and 2026. 
In connection with the refinancing, the company agreed 
on the refinancing of EUR 80 million revolving credit 
facilities maturing in 2026 and 2027. The maturity of 
the syndicated credit revolving facility is three years 
supplemented by two one-year extension options.
At the end of the reporting period, the unused part 
of credit based on financing agreements and bank 
accounts with a credit facility amounted to EUR 93.0 
(98.0) million. 
Return on equity (LTM) for the reporting period 
was 13.5 (-7.6) percent. The equity ratio was 39.4 
(36.5) percent. 
Terveystalo's financing arrangements and risks are 
described in more detail in note 21 to the consolidated 
financial statements.
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, particularly in the summer 
months. The number of business days influences 
the revenue and earnings development, particularly 
when comparing quarterly performance. There 
were 252 (251) working days in October–December 
2024. In 2025, there are 251 working days. 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 2024, including M&A, amounted

expenditure, excluding M&A, amounted to EUR 39.4 
(39.8) million. The investments consisted mainly of

development, IT system projects, medical equipment, 
and network. The relative share of tangible 
investments in gross investments increased year-on-
year, while the total investment level remained at 
comparison year’s level.

Sivupersoona Oy, a company providing sign language 
interpreting services, to the company's management 
with an agreement dated in February. Terveystalo 
acquired the share capital of SRK Group Oy at the 
end of March. Feelgood acquired the share capital 
in Clarahälsan AB in July. In September Terveystalo 
acquired the share capital of Cityläkarna Mariehamn 
Ab in Åland.
* Net investments do not include increases in right-of-use assets 
related to leases for business premises. Net investments 
include the acquisition of non-controlling interests.
Intangible assets and 
development expenses 
Terveystalo’s key intangible assets include the 
company’s brand and reputation, built over the years, 
Terveystalo’s professionals, and strategic partnerships 
with key suppliers. These resources enable Terveystalo 
to maintain its competitive advantage and are a 
central part of Terveystalo’s strategy.
Capitalised development expenses in 2024 were 
EUR 12.2 (23.2) million and were included in other 
intangible assets. 
Personnel
The number of Terveystalo’s salaried employees 
on 31 December 2024 in Finland was 8,383 (8,950), 
in Sweden 770 (874), and in total 9,153 (9,824). In 
FTEs, the average number of salaried employees in 
Finland was 5,144 (5,597), in Sweden 697 (829) and in 
total 5,841 (6,426). The number of non-employees 
in Finland was 5,967 (5,987), in Sweden 48 (105) and 
in total 6,015 (6,092). The decrease in the number of 
employees in Finland was affected by the measures 
of the profit improvement programme and the 
termination of outsourcing contracts. In Sweden the 
number of employed staff and private practitioners 
was reduced due to ended customer contracts as part 
of the profit improvement programme.

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 work 
ability; promotion of coping at work and, when necessary, referrals 
to rehabilitation in case of reduced work ability; guidance in first aid 
preparedness at the workplace; and assessment and monitoring of 
the quality and impact of occupational healthcare activities.

The Sweden segment consists of Feelgood 
subsidiaries’ operations in Sweden, which are 
focused on occupational health and consultation 
for organisational management and harmful 
use rehabilitation services. Terveystalo aims to 
significantly improve profitability in Sweden in the 
short term. 
In the Sweden segment in 2024, revenue decreased by 
11.6 percent and amounted to EUR 81.8 (92.5) million. 
Without the currency effect, the revenue decreased 
by 11.7 percent. The increased economic uncertainty 
affected the demand for organizational leadership 
consultation and the harmful use rehabilitation 
services, which are sensitive to macroeconomic 
changes. Ended contracts also had a negative year-
on-year impact on revenue. Acquisitions increased 
revenue in Sweden by approximately EUR 2.5 million.
In the Sweden segment in 2024, adjusted earnings 
before interest, taxes, amortisation, and impairment 
losses (EBITA) decreased to EUR -2.0 (3.7) million, 
representing -2.5 (4.0) percent of revenue. Profitability 
was weakened by the decline in revenue, as well as cost 
inflation. In the business area, a profit improvement 
programme was launched in the fourth quarter of 
2023 to achieve a structural change in profitability 
in 2025. The programme has progressed as planned. 
The cost structure has been adjusted to match the 
weakened demand, which was reflected, among other 
things, in lower personnel costs in the second half of 
the year. The programme will now focus on improving 
operational efficiency and commercial measures.

due to proactive customer selection and amounted 
to EUR 73.1 (84.7) million. Revenue from dental care 
decreased by 7.7 percent due to lower demand and 
amounted to EUR 50.3 (54.5) million. Revenue from other 
services decreased by 12.3 percent and amounted to EUR 
32.4 (36.9) million.

of profits for 2024 proposed by 
the Board
The objective of Terveystalo’s Dividend Policy is to 
distribute a minimum of 80 percent of earnings per 
share in dividends. The current financial performance,

requirements are taken into account. In 2024, earnings 
per share were EUR 0.57 (-0.33). 
The parent company’s distributable funds totaled EUR 
558.9 (535.9) million, of which EUR 61.0 (40.5) million is 
the result for the financial year. The Board of Directors 
proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend 
of EUR 0.48 (0.30) per share totaling EUR 60.8 (38.0) 
million be paid based on the balance sheet adopted for 
the financial year ended 31 December 2024.

instalments as follows:

would be paid to the shareholders who are registered 
in the shareholders' register of the company 
maintained by Euroclear Finland Ltd on the record

dividend instalment would be paid on 15 October 
2025. The Board of Directors also proposes that the

of Directors to resolve, if necessary, on a new record 
date and date of payment for the second dividend 
instalment should the rules of Euroclear Finland Ltd or 
statutes applicable to the Finnish book-entry system 
change or otherwise so require.

not be jeopardised by the proposed distribution of profits.

Events after the end of 
the reporting period
 
Terveystalo Plc's Board of Directors 
has approved a new performance 
period covering years 2025–2027 
of the long-term share-based 
incentive plan for key personnel 
Terveystalo Plc's Board of Directors has approved a new 
performance period covering the years 2025–2027 of the 
long-term share-based incentive plan for key personnel. 
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 
implementing Terveystalo's strategy by offering them a 
competitive, share-based incentive program.
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. The Board decides on the participants, 
performance measures, and targets as well as earning 
opportunities on an annual basis. Terveystalo published 
the establishment of the program and its main terms in a 
stock exchange release on 3 December 2020.

Report of the Board of Directors 

Performance Period 2025–2027 of 
the Performance Share Plan (PSP)
During the performance period 2025–2027, the 
participants are awarded for successful shareholder 
value creation. The performance indicators based on 
which share rewards may be paid to 90 percent of the 
participants are absolute and relative (compared to the 
OMX HKI benchmark CAP GI index) Total Shareholder 
Return. For 10 percent of the participants, the value 
creation is measured by EBITA (adjusted earnings before 
interest, taxes, and amortisation) of the business area or 
independent business that they lead.
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 2025–2027 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 achieved. 
The maximum number of shares to be paid based 
on this plan is 700,000 shares. Taxes and tax-like 
payments to the recipient are deducted from the reward, 
after which the remaining net amount is paid to the 
participants in shares.
No more than approximately 80 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 2025–2027 of 
the Restricted Share Plan (RSP)
The purpose of the Restricted Share Plan is to function 
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 70,000 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, organisations, responsibilities, 
and practices for risk management. The management 
of financial risks complies with the Group’s financing 
policy approved by Terveystalo’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. The order in which the risks are presented 
does not describe the magnitude of the impact of the 
risks' realisation or the probability of their occurrence. 
•	 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 involves 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 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. 
•	 The company may not be able to find suitable 
acquisition targets or expansion opportunities under 
favourable 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 development and implementation of information 
system projects and services, service products, 
and operating 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 potential technical 
faults and disturbances. 
•	 Endangered information security or privacy 
can lead to losses, claims for damages, and 
endanger reputation.

Report of the Board of Directors 

•	 Pandemics or epidemics and related restrictive 
measures may adversely 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.
•	 Ongoing profit improvement programs may fall short 
of their targets and / or the improvements may not 
be sustainable.
•	 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.

Terveystalo presents alternative performance 
measures as additional information to the 
financial measures defined in IFRS. Those are 
performance measures that the company monitors 
internally and they provide significant additional 
information related to the company's results of 
operations, financial position and cash flows to the 
management, investors, securities analysts and other 
parties. These should not be considered in isolation 
or as a substitute to the measures under IFRS.

business culture, and respective practices. Terveystalo’s 
values and Code of Conduct and the Group’s policies 
and procedures constitute part of the foundation and 
organisation of internal control. 
Terveystalo’s Vice President in charge of 
sustainability presents material sustainability-related 
matters to the Board of Directors at least once a 
year in connection with the Board's discussion of the 
broader sustainability agenda and review of targets 
and performance. Sustainability-related matters are 
also discussed in meetings of the Board of Directors 
as necessary when there are material issues to 
communicate or decide on. In 2024, the following 
sustainability-related matters were discussed in the 
Board of Directors’ meetings, among other things: The 
results of Terveystalo’s double materiality assessment, 
Terveystalo's material impacts, risks and opportunities, 
the achievement of the sustainability targets set for 
2023, progress towards the sustainability targets set 
for 2024, the structure of Terveystalo’s sustainability 
reporting and assessing Terveystalo's preparedness 
for reporting. The Board of Directors has discussed 
sustainability management at Terveystalo and 
Terveystalo’s sustainability strategy and its practical 
implementation as part of the overall strategy. 
The Board of Directors has discussed Terveystalo’s 
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) roadmap 
and plans, as well as the impacts, risks and opportunities 
related to the material sustainability themes identified 
in the double materiality assessment. The Board of 
Directors has also discussed and examined metrics 
related to Terveystalo’s sustainability themes and their 
progress. Risk management, Terveystalo’s environmental 
management system and information security and 
related risk management were also on the agenda of 
the Board of Directors during the year. In addition, the 
Board of Directors participated in training related to 
sustainability reporting and assurance.
The Board of Directors has established two 
committees to improve the efficacy of the Board: an 
Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee. 
Written charters have been drawn up for the committees 
to define their duties. The Audit Committee’s duties 
include, among other things, assisting the Board of 
Directors in fulfilling and monitoring its supervisory 
duties pertaining to the financial reporting process 
and auditing, and the sustainability reporting process 
and assurance, as well as the supervision of matters 
related to reporting, internal control, internal auditing, 
and risk management. The Audit Committee monitors 
and assesses the company’s financial and sustainability 
reporting systems as well as the quality and integrity 
of the financial statements, other financial reports and 
sustainability statements. The Audit Committee also 
monitors the statutory audit of the financial statements 
and consolidated financial statements and the assurance 
of the sustainability statement. The Audit Committee 
also assesses the competence and independence of 
the external auditor and the sustainability reporting 
assurance provider, prepares a proposal for a decision 
on the election of the auditor and the sustainability 
reporting assurance provider, and monitors compliance 
with laws and regulations. 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. The Remuneration Committee of the Board 
of Directors, in turn, assists the Board in preparing 
matters related to remuneration, for example. Among 
other things, the Remuneration Committee prepares 
the Remuneration Policy of Governing Bodies and 
the Remuneration Report, prepares and assesses the 
remuneration of the CEO and other members of the 
Executive Team reporting directly to the CEO, and 
prepares short-term and long-term incentive plans. The 
Remuneration Committee prepares matters concerning 
the appointment of the CEO and other members of the 
Executive Team reporting directly to the CEO.
The committees discuss sustainability-related 
matters whenever there are material issues to 
communicate or decide on. In 2024, the Audit 
Committee focused particularly on the reporting 
requirements arising from the Corporate Sustainability 
Reporting Directive (CSRD), Terveystalo’s preparedness 
for reporting and the CSRD-compliant assurance process. 
During the year, the Remuneration Committee prepared 
short-term and long-term incentive plans for the CEO 
and other members of the Executive Team reporting 
directly to the CEO. The purpose of the incentive 
plans is, among other things, to steer the performance 
towards the achievement of Group-level and individual 
targets based on the key strategic priorities for each 
year and towards specific Group-level targets. When 
preparing short-term and long-term incentive plans, 
the Remuneration Committee evaluates the metrics 
and performance targets relevant to the plans, which 
are used as performance criteria in remuneration. These 
metrics can be related to sustainability or other topics. 
The committees report on their work to the Board of 
Directors on a regular basis.
CEO and Executive Team
The CEO is responsible for the day-to-day management 
of the company and for executing the company’s 
strategy in accordance with the instructions and orders 
issued by the Board of Directors. The CEO undertakes 
the execution of measures approved by the Board of 
Directors and oversees preparations for strategically 
important measures. This means that Terveystalo’s CEO, 
together with the other members of the Executive Team, 
is also responsible for the successful implementation of 
the company’s sustainability agenda. The CEO ensures 
that the management of the company is adequately 
arranged and that the company’s accounting complies 
with the applicable legislation. In accordance with 
Terveystalo’s internal control and risk management 
policy, the CEO is also responsible for the organisation 
of Terveystalo Group's risk management and the 
monitoring and guidance of the senior management 
with regard to risk management. The CEO manages 
sustainability-related risks as part of the company’s 
general risk management. The CEO also ensures 
the appropriate arrangement of the company’s 
administration and asset management. The CEO serves 
as the Chair of Terveystalo’s Executive Team. Ville Iho has

A more detailed presentation of the CEO is provided in 
Terveystalo’s Corporate Governance Statement.
The Executive Team assists the CEO with, among 
other things, the preparation and execution of matters 
related to the company’s strategy, business plans, 
matters of principle, and any other important matters. 
In accordance with Terveystalo's internal control and 
risk management policy, the Executive Team supports 
the CEO in implementing risk management, risk 
monitoring, and risk assessment. The members of the

management-related measures in their respective areas 
of responsibility. Sustainability risks are assessed as 
part of Terveystalo Group’s general risk management.

safety, high-quality operations, financial performance, 
business continuity, a good public image for the 
company, and corporate social responsibility. Risk 
management is an integral part of Terveystalo Group's 
planning processes and monitoring and reporting 
practices, and risk-taking relative to risk-bearing 
capacity is assessed particularly in connection with 
work on the strategy and when decisions are made on 
business projects or investments that are significant 
for the Group. Risk management is an integral part of 
management. It contributes to strategic development, 
helps managers make informed choices, puts measures 
in priority order, takes into account opportunities, 
uncertainties, and their effects, and distinguishes 
between alternative approaches. As stated above, 
the Group’s management also participates in the 
implementation of internal control.
In accordance with Terveystalo’s ESG governance 
model, the Executive Team examines the Group’s 
sustainability approach, commitments, investments 
and targets and decides on their submission to the 
Board of Directors for final approval. The Executive Team 
monitors progress with regard to sustainability targets, 
commitments and the roadmap and is responsible for 
ensuring that sustainability commitments are integrated 
into the Group’s overall strategy and operations as part 
of the strategy process. The Executive Team examines 
the Group’s sustainability-related policies and guidelines 
and submits the most material of them to the Board of 
Directors for approval. The CEO and certain members 
of the Executive Team also have the right to approve 
policies and guidelines that fall within their competence. 
Terveystalo’s management and supervisors are 
responsible for the communication and implementation 
of Terveystalo's Code of Conduct, and monitoring 
compliance with the Code of Conduct. The CEO reports 
to the Board of Directors of Terveystalo Plc and the other 
members of the Executive Team report to the CEO.
The Vice President in charge of sustainability, who 
reports to the CFO, discusses sustainability-related 
matters with the CFO and CEO on a regular basis and as 
necessary when there are material issues to communicate 
or decide on. Sustainability-related matters are also 
regularly on the agenda of the Executive Team. In 2024, 
the CEO and the Executive Team particularly focused 
on Terveystalo’s sustainability strategy and its practical 
implementation as part of Terveystalo’s overall strategy 
and sustainability management in Terveystalo.

consisted of Kari Kauniskangas (Chairman), Matts 
Rosenberg, Sofia Hasselberg, Ari Lehtoranta, Carola 
Lemne, Kristian Pullola and Katri Viippola in accordance 
with the decision of the 2023 Annual General Meeting. 
The Annual General Meeting held on 26 March 
2024 re-elected Kari Kauniskangas (Chairman), Matts 
Rosenberg, Sofia Hasselberg, Ari Lehtoranta, Carola 
Lemne and Kristian Pullola as members of the Board of 
Directors. Teija Sarajärvi was elected as a new member. 
There are no employee representatives among the 
members of the Board of Directors. Presentations of 
the members of the Board of Directors are provided in 
Terveystalo’s Corporate Governance Statement.
Persons elected as a member of the Board of 
Directors must have the qualifications required for 
the position and the opportunity to devote sufficient 
time to performing their duties. The company has 
drafted principles concerning the diversity of the 
Board of Directors. According to the principles applied 
in financial year 2024, diversity was assessed from 
several perspectives, including age and gender as 
well as educational and professional background. 
Terveystalo considers the realisation of diversity on the 
Board of Directors to be a key factor that supports the 
company’s business and its development as well as 
the achievement of its strategic objectives. The work 
of the Board of Directors requires understanding of 
differences in cultures, values, and business practices. 
The structure, size, composition, diversity and succession 
needs of the Board of Directors are assessed annually, 
including whether the Board of Directors represents 
appropriate experience, diverse business knowledge and 
skills, independence and other necessary qualities. The 
Shareholders' Nomination Board plans the composition 
of the Board of Directors from the perspective of the 
company’s current and future business needs, taking 
into account diversity of the Board.
Terveystalo's material sustainability themes were 
confirmed on the basis of the company’s double 
materiality assessment. The material themes are 
own workforce, consumers and end-users and good 
corporate governance/business conduct. The members 
of Terveystalo Plc’s Board of Directors represent expertise 
in the healthcare sector and business conduct in the 
company’s target markets (Finland and Sweden), among 
other areas of expertise. The Board of Directors also 
includes members who have an educational background 
in medicine. The members of the Board of Directors have 
experience from many different industries and a wide 
range of management positions in companies serving 
different customer groups. They represent expertise 
related to business conduct and good corporate 
governance, including strategic management, financial 
management and risk management, as well as business 
ethics and compliance. The Board members also have 
expertise in topics related to sustainability (ESG), as well 
as human resources management and occupational 
safety. The Board of Directors and its committees may 
also use external legal, financial, sustainability-related or 
other advisers to the extent they deem necessary.
The age range of the Board of Directors whose term 
ended on 26 March 2024 was 40–65 years on 26 March 
2024. Three (43%) of the Board members were between 
the ages of 30 and 49, and four (57%) were aged 50 or 
older. The age range of the new Board of Directors that 
was elected by the Annual General Meeting held on 26 
March 2024 was 41–66 years on 31 December 2024. Two 
(29%) of the Board members were between the ages of 
30 and 49, and five (71%) were aged 50 or older.
Three (43%) of the members of the Board of Directors 
whose term ended on 26 March 2024 were women 
and four (57%) were men. Similarly, three (43%) of the 
members of the Board of Directors whose term started on 
26 March 2024 were women and four (57%) were men. 
On average, during the year, 43 percent of the Board 
members were women and 57 percent were men. Persons 
outside Finland accounted for two (29%) of the members 
of the Board of Directors that served until 26 March 2024 
and the Board of Directors that served thereafter.
The Board conducts an annual assessment of its 
operations and working practices in accordance with 
the Corporate Governance Code published by the 
Finnish Securities Market Association. In preparing its 
proposal on the composition of the Board of Directors, 
the Shareholders' Nomination Board must take into 
account the requirements concerning independence as 
set out in the Corporate Governance Code, the results 
of the assessment of the Board’s operations carried out 
in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code, 
the principles concerning the diversity of the Board of 
Directors, and other applicable regulations. According 
to the assessment of the Board of Directors, all of 
the members (100%) of the Board of Directors on 31 
December 2024 are independent of the company. Six 
out of seven members (86%) are also independent of the 
company’s significant shareholders.
Integration of sustainability-
related performance in 
incentive schemes
GOV-3
Remuneration of the Board of Directors 
The Shareholders’ Nomination Board prepares and 
reviews the remuneration principles for the members 
of the Board of Directors as set out in the Terveystalo 
Plc's Remuneration Policy for Governing Bodies. Each 
year, the Shareholders’ Nomination Board also prepares 
a proposal for the remuneration of the members of 
the Board of Directors. The proposal must be based on 
the principles set out in Terveystalo Plc's Remuneration 
Policy for Governing Bodies. The final decision on the 
remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors is 
made by the General Meeting.
In 2024, the remuneration of the Board of Directors 
consisted of annual remuneration and meeting fees, in 
addition to which the Board members were entitled to 
compensation for reasonable travel expenses related to 
their work. The annual remuneration is paid either partly 
in Terveystalo’s shares and partly in cash, or fully in 
cash. Terveystalo's Annual General Meeting held on 26 
March 2024 resolved that, for the term starting from the 
Annual General Meeting, the annual remuneration of 
the Board would be paid as a combination of company 
shares and cash in such a manner that 40 percent of the 
annual remuneration would be paid in shares purchased 
from the market on behalf of the Board members at 
a price determined in public trading, and 60 percent 
would be paid in cash. The Annual General Meeting 
resolved that the Board of Directors’ meeting fees 
would be paid in cash. In 2024, the remuneration of 
the Board of Directors was not based on sustainability-
related performance.
Remuneration of the CEO
The Remuneration Committee of the Board of Directors 
prepares proposals to the Board of Directors concerning 
the remuneration of the CEO. The Board of Directors 
reviews and approves the CEO’s remuneration principles 
as set out in the Terveystalo Plc's Remuneration Policy 
for Governing Bodies on the basis of preparatory work 
carried out by the Remuneration Committee of the Board 
of Directors, and decides on the CEO’s pay, incentive 
schemes and related targets on the basis of preparatory

Sustainability statement

work carried out by the Remuneration Committee of the 
Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also decides 
on all share-based incentive schemes based on the 
preparatory work of the Remuneration Committee.
In 2024, the CEO’s total remuneration consisted of 
fixed and variable components. The fixed component 
includes the base salary, benefits and insurance. The 
base salary provides core compensation for the role and 
takes into account several factors, such as the individual’s 
personal performance level and contribution to the 
business, the individual’s skills and experience, the 
internal salary levels and the external market conditions. 
The base salary is reviewed annually. Taxable fringe 
benefits, Terveystalo’s standard personnel benefits, and 
other similar benefits are included in the base salary. 
In 2024, the insurances included, among other things, 
leisure-time accident insurance, travel insurance, and 
liability insurance for the management. The Board of 
Directors has a possibility to decide on a supplementary 
defined contribution pension in line with local 
market practices.
The variable components of the CEO’s remuneration 
consist of short-term and long-term incentives. The 
short-term incentives are aimed at driving short-term 
performance towards specific Group-level targets and 
individual objectives that are based on the key strategic 
priorities for each year. Performance is measured over 
a period of one year, and potential rewards are paid 
the following year. The Board of Directors sets annual 
performance criteria based on the key priorities for the 
financial year. The criteria may include both financial and 
non-financial criteria. Following the end of the earnings 
period, the Board of Directors confirms the achievement 
of the criteria and determines the amount of the payout. 
According to the Remureration Policy for Governing 
Bodies last handled at Terveystalo's Annual General 
Meeting held on 26 March 2024, at the maximum level 
of performance, the incentive opportunity could not 
exceed 150% of the annual base salary.
In 2023 and 2024, the employee Net Promoter 
Score (eNPS) was one of the indicators included in the 
CEO’s short-term performance targets. eNPS indicates 
the proportion of Terveystalo’s personnel and private 
practitioners who would recommend Terveystalo as a 
workplace to others. The short-term incentive paid to 
the CEO in 2024, based on the performance in 2023, 
was based on the eNPS indicator with a weight of 20 
percent. The eNPS target for the incentive was linked 
to Terveystalo’s target level. In 2023, eNPS was the only 
indicator of sustainability-related performance included 
in the CEO’s performance targets. The other indicators 
affecting the amount of the short-term incentive 
were adjusted EBITA and the progress of the profit 
improvement programme initiated in 2022. In 2024, 
the CEO’s short-term incentive was based on the eNPS 
indicator with a weight of 10 percent. The eNPS target for 
the incentive was linked to Terveystalo’s target level. The 
second sustainability-related performance indicator in 
2024 was the Patient Enablement Instrument (PEI), which 
measures medical quality in terms of the customer’s 
ability to deal with their illness after their appointment. 
In 2024, the CEO’s short-term incentive was based on the 
PEI indicator with a weight of 10 percent. The PEI target 
is specified in the incentive scheme. The third indicator 
affecting the amount of the short-term incentive in 
2024 was Terveystalo's adjusted EBITA. The short-term 
incentive for 2024 will be paid in 2025.
The Board of Directors decides annually on the 
participants, performance indicators, targets and 
earning opportunities of the long-term incentive 
scheme for the management. The aim of the long-
term incentives is to drive long-term performance 
toward specific Group-level targets, to engage the 
CEO’s commitment to the company and to align the 
interests of the CEO with interests of the shareholders. 
In 2024, the long-term share-based incentive schemes 
for the management did not include sustainability-
related performance indicators. In the performance 
periods 2022–2024, 2023–2025 and 2024–2026, the 
performance criteria for the CEO's share-based long-
term incentive schemes are the company's absolute and 
relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR).

Risk management and 
internal controls over 
sustainability reporting 
GOV-5
The purpose of internal controls related to the 
sustainability reporting process is to ensure that 
Terveystalo Group’s sustainability reporting is reliable 
and that the information reported in the sustainability 
statement has been prepared in accordance with 
Terveystalo’s calculation and accounting principles. 
Internal control is based on Terveystalo’s risk 
management system, business culture, and respective 
practices. Terveystalo's Group-level principles and 
processes concerning statutory reporting, risk 
management and internal control are observed 
in sustainability reporting. The internal control of 
sustainability reporting is based on risk identification 
and analysis, the targeting of control at the most 
material identified risks, and adherence to the best 
Terveystalo

practices of internal control. Risks are prioritised based 
on their weighted severity and likelihood. 
Sustainability reporting is centralised in the 
company’s financial function under the Vice President, 
Investor Relations and Sustainability. The identified 
key risks of sustainability reporting are the accuracy 
and coverage of the reported information. To 
ensure the accuracy and coverage of the reported 
information, Terveystalo has defined and implemented a 
sustainability reporting governance model that specifies 
the roles and responsibilities for sustainability reporting. 
The content owners of the reported topic areas are 
responsible for ensuring that Terveystalo’s process 
environment is able to produce the necessary reportable 
information. The content-related responsibility for the 
accuracy of the information and the responsibility for 
adherence to reporting schedules and delivering the 
information to the Investor Relations and Sustainability 
team lies with the content and data owners defined in 
the reporting governance model, i.e. the roles defined in 
Group functions such as HR, quality management, legal 
& compliance, and environment.
Internal controls have been implemented to ensure 
the accuracy of the reported content, and the reporting 
governance model designates an ESG controller whose 
task is to ensure the accuracy of the information and 
compliance with the preparation principles. 
Sustainability reporting and related observations were 
discussed a total of five times in the company’s Audit 
Committee meetings in 2024.

Terveystalo plays a key role in the renewal of healthcare in 
Finland, the prevention of illnesses and the promotion of 
people’s well-being. 
In addition to preventive occupational health 
services, Terveystalo offers a wide range of services in 
primary healthcare and specialised care, diagnostics, and 
day surgery, including general practitioner and specialist 
services, imaging and laboratory tests. In addition, the 
company offers demanding surgery, well-being services, 
oral health services, public healthcare outsourcing 
services, healthcare staffing services, rehabilitation 
services and child welfare services.
The services are offered both digitally and at 
approximately 360 Terveystalo clinics around Finland, 
including 18 hospital units and 31 dental clinics. In 2024, 
Terveystalo had a total of 1.2 (1.2) million customers, 7.6 
(7.6) million customer visits in Finland, and a total of 
1.7 (1.8) million end-customers of occupational health 
services in the Nordic countries. Terveystalo’s digital 
platform has more than 2.6 million registered users. 
In Finland, Terveystalo provides occupational health 
services to over 26,000 companies and organisations 
that have approximately 744,000 employees covered by 
the occupational health services.
In Sweden, Terveystalo offers occupational health, 
organisational management consulting and addiction 
prevention and rehabilitation services to its corporate 
customers. Terveystalo has more than 800 professionals 
in Sweden, serving customers digitally and in person 
at approximately 140 locations. Terveystalo serves 
approximately 8,000 corporate customers in Sweden, 
which have about one million employees covered by 
occupational health services. Terveystalo’s customer 
groups and service offering are described in more detail in 
section S4 – Consumers and end-users on pages 112–113.
Terveystalo’s service offering is divided into three 
business areas: Healthcare Services, Portfolio Businesses 
and Sweden, which are also Terveystalo’s reporting 
segments. Significant events concerning the business 
activitites of the business areas and their financial 
performance during the reporting period are presented 
in the Business Areas section of the Report of the Board 
of Directors on pages 56–57.
Terveystalo’s mission is to fight for a healthier life. 
Terveystalo’s values – human being at the centre, steered 
by medical science and reforming healthcare – are the 
foundation of all of Terveystalo’s operations. The most 
significant positive sustainability impact of Terveystalo’s 
operations arises from providing fluent, caring and 
effective integrated care to customers, which is also at the 
core of Terveystalo’s strategy. According to Terveystalo's 
strategy, integrated care means that Terveystalo 
understands customers and their needs, prevents 
and manages health risks, guides the customer to the 
right service and treatment, takes care of the patient 
throughout the care path, cooperates as teams of experts, 
and measures and improves the outcomes of care. The 
integrated care model aims for a positive social impact, 
which can be reflected in the prevention of illnesses, quick 
access to care, fluent care paths and good outcomes of 
care, among other things. High-quality occupational 
healthcare that is based on integrated care is effective 
when it promotes the health, work ability and well-being 
of employees effectively and with measurable results. 
Effectiveness is reflected in, for example, reduced sickness 
absences, improved work ability and productivity, as 
well as increased well-being at work, which reduces early 
retirement and saves costs for client companies. 
Terveystalo’s digital solutions play a key role in 
integrated care paths and their development. They ensure 
smooth workflow for Terveystalo's professionals, the best 
care and prevention outcomes for its customers, and help 
to address the care gap in the industry. Terveystalo uses 
data to identify and prevent health risks and select the 
right treatment. The aim is to increase the overall capacity 
of care through digital solutions to enable quick access 
to care under an optimised multi-channel production 
model. Digital tools are also aimed at creating smoother 
workflow for professionals through the development of 
tools and processes, multidisciplinary collaboration and 
the productivity of operations. The continuity of care is 
improved by guiding the customer and the professional 
through the entire care path from the first contact to the 
end of the care path. Terveystalo systematically measures 
the effectiveness of care and develops its operations to 
improve the outcomes. Terveystalo supports Finland’s 
wellbeing services counties in the digital transformation 
by providing modern and easy-to-use digital solutions and 
highly competent service production for the wellbeing 
services counties. The material sustainability matters 
related to Terveystalo’s customers, including the targets 
related to the sub-topic, are described in more detail in 
section S4 - Consumers and end-users on pages 112–121.
Terveystalo is one of the largest employers in Finland. 
At the end of 2024, Terveystalo's operations in Finland had 
8,383 (8,950) employees and 5,967 (5,987) non-employees. 
In Sweden, Terveystalo’s subsidiary Feelgood had 770 (874) 
employees and 48 (105) non-employees. The decrease 
in the number of employees in Finland was affected by 
the measures of the profit improvement programme and 
the termination of outsourcing contracts. In Sweden the 
number of employed staff and private practitioners was

reduced due to ended customer contracts as part of 
the profit improvement programme. As the need for 
care increases due to the ageing of the population, the 
shortage of professionals is the greatest challenge in 
healthcare. With this in mind, it is a key strategic goal for 
Terveystalo to ensure that the company has an adequate 
number of engaged and highly competent healthcare 
professionals for Terveystalo to meet the growing 
demand and achieve its strategic targets. Terveystalo’s 
goal is to be the best and most attractive employer in 
its industry. The material sustainability matters related 
to Terveystalo’s personnel, including the targets related 
to the sub-topic, are described in more detail in section 
S4 – Own workforce on pages 98–111.
Each year, Terveystalo purchases services, materials 
and supplies for its clinics from approximately 
4,400 suppliers. Of these, the 180 largest suppliers 
account for about 80 percent of total purchasing 
expenditure. The largest procurement categories are 
ICT purchases, the rental of premises and subcontracted 
services, such as laboratory services. 
Terveystalo Group also expects its suppliers to 
observe high standards of sustainability with regard 
to ethical, social and environmental perspectives, as 
well as occupational health and safety. The material 
sustainability matters related to Terveystalo’s suppliers, 
including the targets related to the sub-topic, are 
described in more detail in section G1 – Business 
conduct on pages 123–133.
Interests and views 
of stakeholders 
SBM-2
Terveystalo’s role in society means that the company 
has several stakeholders with whom it engages in 
active dialogue and develops its operations on the 
basis of stakeholder feedback. In addition to customers, 
personnel, private practitioners, suppliers and 
shareholders, the key stakeholders include the public 
authorities and societal decision-makers that influence 
the legislation governing the industry and the drafting 
of that legislation. Other key stakeholders include the 
supervisory authorities and the media. Terveystalo 
also engages in close interaction with lobbyists within 
the sector. Open dialogue and effective cooperation 
enable a more predictable operating environment for 
all parties. Stakeholder expectations and feedback are 
discussed regularly by Terveystalo’s Executive Team 
and Board of Directors. Stakeholder views were taken 
into account in the double materiality assessment 
conducted in 2023, which served as the foundation 
for confirming Terveystalo's material themes of 
sustainability. The materiality assessment is described in 
Material sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities 
on pages 81–82.
The table below describes Terveystalo’s engagement 
with the most important stakeholders and how the 
themes that are important to them are taken into 
account in the company’s strategy and business model.

Terveystalo continued to develop its services in a number of different areas and sought to respond 
to the growing demand by, for example, recruiting new professionals and further increasing its 
digital service offering. Terveystalo aims to stand out by providing an excellent experience in all 
customer encounters, irrespective of the channel. At Terveystalo, customer feedback is collected 
systematically and customers are provided with many different channels for giving feedback. 
Customer feedback is regularly monitored and reported on, and used in internal and external 
quality audits to assess the measures taken and their impacts. This ensures that customer feedback 
is an effective tool for improving operations and increasing customer satisfaction.

Terveystalo’s goal is to be the best and most attractive employer in its industry. Terveystalo 
strengthens its attractiveness as a workplace by providing professionals with interesting and 
meaningful work, competitive pay, diverse career and development opportunities, and ensuring 
that professionals can work smoothly and focus on what matters. The aim is to provide a humane 
and well-functioning working environment where the professionals can focus on meaningful 
matters. The development of tools and processes to make work smoother continued in 2024. 
New professionals were recruited to meet the growing demand. The training of professionals 
and the training offering were developed and diversified further. Current issues were actively 
communicated to the personnel, including the progress of the strategy and related measures.

sustainability with regard to ethical, social and environmental perspectives, as well as occupational 
health and safety. Terveystalo Group’s Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the minimum 
requirements that all suppliers and partners need to satisfy in order to engage in business with 
Terveystalo and its subsidiaries. All of Terveystalo’s contract suppliers and suppliers participating 
in tendering processes are required to accept Terveystalo’s Supplier Code of Conduct. Supplier 
relationship management provides better visibility into the supply chain, improving delivery 
reliability, quality management and risk management, and increasing visibility into total costs and 
the flexibility of the supply chain.

Terveystalo, the authorities and decision-makers. 
Terveystalo has the competence, innovation capacity and willingness to develop Finnish healthcare, 
which is why Terveystalo actively participates in dialogue with decision-makers and authorities to 
promote progress. Through its labour market and advocacy organisations (the Finnish Association 
of Private Care Providers HALI, the Association of Finnish Private Healthcare Providers LPY and 
Healthtech Finland, and their umbrella organisations, the Confederation of Finnish Industries and 
Suomen Yrittäjät), Terveystalo participates in position-taking and advocacy efforts in the private 
healthcare industry. Terveystalo also engages in active dialogue at the national level with ministries, 
political decision-makers and key authorities, such as Kela and the Finnish Institute for Health and 
Welfare. In 2024, Terveystalo also strengthened its connections to the wellbeing services counties 
by establishing the Health Partner organisation. It includes, among other members, wellbeing 
services county-specific customer account owners, whose task is to identify the individual needs 
of the wellbeing services counties and offer solutions to the identified needs. Terveystalo has the 
particular capability to increase cost efficiency and the availability of services, which are necessary 
for the Finnish healthcare and social welfare service system.

The following tables describe the sustainability-related impacts, risks and opportunities that Terveystalo 
has identified and assessed as material as a result of its double materiality assessment process. More 
information on how Terveystalo manages its impacts and risks is provided in the topic-specific sections. 
The material risks or opportunities had no financial effects on the company’s financial position, result or 
cash flows during the financial period. As Terveystalo is reporting in compliance with the ESRS (European 
Sustainability Reporting Standards) for the first time, there are no year-on-year changes with regard to the 
material impacts, risks and opportunities. 
Material impacts, risks and opportunities
Material sub-topic
Material impacts
Material risks and/or opportunities 
S1 Own workforce
Working conditions
Adequate wages
Risk (potential): Terveystalo’s business is labour-intensive and payroll costs have a significant effect on 
Terveystalo’s profitability. If Terveystalo were to fail to attract and retain professionals on reasonable terms, it 
could lead to an increase in Terveystalo’s personnel and recruitment costs. Terveystalo may also be subject to 
strikes or other industrial action, which may cause disruptions to Terveystalo’s business operations. Employer 
organisations representing Terveystalo and other employers may not be able to negotiate satisfactory collective 
agreements after previous agreements have expired. The tight labour market and increased inflation may cause 
increasing pressure on personnel costs and other operating expenses. 
Work-life balance
Positive impact (actual): A healthy work-life balance supports the well-being, productivity and job satisfaction 
of the personnel, as well as their ability to cope with the demands of work. A healthy work-life balance is also 
indirectly reflected in better treatment outcomes and a better customer experience. 
Safety and health
Positive impact (actual): Ensuring the health and safety of employees improves their work ability and 
job satisfaction and reduces sickness absences and work-related accidents. This has a positive impact on 
Terveystalo’s employer image, employee recruitment and commitment, as well as an indirect positive impact 
on Terveystalo’s operational and financial performance. 
Equal treatment and opportunities for all
Training and skills development
Positive impact (actual): Systematic and business-driven personnel development, smooth work and 
responsible, good supervisory work ensure the competence and well-being of Terveystalo’s personnel, which in 
turn benefits customers through better care and a positive customer experience.

Efficient working methods/
Efficient use of personnel 
resources
Positive impact (actual), opportunity: Efficient working methods and smooth workflows have a key positive 
impact on the well-being, motivation and commitment of Terveystalo’s professionals and indirectly on 
Terveystalo’s operations and performance. If the factors affecting the smoothness of workflows, such as clear 
work processes, excellent management, sufficient resources and effective digital tools, are in order, they 
provide a competitive advantage for Terveystalo. This allows professionals to focus on high-quality customer 
work without unnecessary interruptions, which improves the quality of care and customer satisfaction. 
Professionals with a high level of well-being and motivation are more committed, which reduces personnel 
turnover and sickness absences. These have an indirect positive impact on Terveystalo’s operational and 
financial performance.
Engagement of employees and 
professionals
Risk (potential): There is intense competition for qualified and competent employees and personnel in the 
healthcare sector. Terveystalo's business is dependent on the company's ability to identify, recruit, and retain 
qualified and competent healthcare professionals, employees and executives. If Terveystalo were to fail to 
attract and retain the necessary professionals on reasonable terms, it could lead to an increase in Terveystalo’s 
personnel and recruitment costs and adversely affect Terveystalo's ability to maintain or develop its business. In 
addition, high turnover among employees, private practitioners or executives may have a negative impact on 
the quality of Terveystalo’s services. 
The realisation of these risks could have a material adverse impact on Terveystalo’s business, financial position, 
profitability and future prospects.
S4 Consumers and end-users
Information-related impacts for consumers and/or end-users
Patient data protection and 
information security
Negative impact (actual and potential): Compromised data protection or information security may jeopardise 
the privacy and data protection of Terveystalo’s patients, customers, personnel, partners or other stakeholders. 
Compromised data protection or information security may expose sensitive personal data to misuse, which 
may cause both tangible and intangible damage to a person. For example, the person may be subjected 
to fraud, identity theft, discrimination or bullying, or their reputation may be damaged. The person may 
also suffer other financial losses or social harm. The impacts related to compromised data protection and 
information security can be isolated or broad. 
Risk (actual and potential): Compromised information security or data protection, such as a breach of 
confidentiality, integrity or availability, may cause restrictions on operations imposed by the public authorities, 
financial sanctions, claims for damages and other financial losses, which would have an adverse impact on 
Terveystalo's financial performance. Compromised information security and data protection could have a 
detrimental impact on Terveystalo’s reputation, which in turn could have a detrimental impact on the availability 
of professionals, the cooperation partnerships available to Terveystalo, customerships and, through these, also 
on the company’s productivity.
Personal safety of consumers and/or end-users
Access to care and the quality 
and effectiveness of care 
(including patient safety)
Positive impact (actual): The core of Terveystalo’s operations and the company’s key positive impact is the 
provision of appropriate, high-quality, effective and safe care for customers. Terveystalo’s fluent integrated 
care paths and digital services enable faster access to care. High-quality occupational healthcare based on the 
integrated care approach helps to prevent diseases and provide early intervention, which reduces the number 
of sickness absences and saves costs for client companies. The brief psychotherapy care path in occupational 
health developed by Terveystalo improves the mental health of customers while reducing sickness absences 
related to mental health. Cooperation and partnerships with the public sector provide solutions for improving 
access to care.

Company-specific topic
Customer experience
Positive impact (actual): Terveystalo aims to stand out by providing an excellent experience in all customer 
encounters, irrespective of the channel. When customers use Terveystalo’s services, the aim is for each customer 
to feel that they receive high-quality and smooth service and that they experience the encounter as caring 
and personal. The patient experience is an important part of the overall customer experience in healthcare. 
Successful encounters and interaction support the patient’s commitment to care and the effectiveness of care. 
The customer experience and the effectiveness of care are measured on a continuous basis at Terveystalo. High 
customer satisfaction has an indirect positive impact on Terveystalo’s operational and financial performance. 
G1 Business conduct
Corporate culture
Positive impact (potential): A value-based and ethical corporate culture is a prerequisite for Terveystalo’s 
operations and existence. It supports Terveystalo’s attractiveness as a workplace for highly competent 
professionals and increases the commitment of the personnel and the sense of meaningfulness experienced by 
the members of the work community. An ethical corporate culture also supports Terveystalo’s attractiveness as 
a reliable service provider for customers and as a partner for other stakeholders. 
Risk (potential): If Terveystalo's value-based and ethical corporate culture were to be jeopardised or weakened, 
it could have a detrimental impact on the customer experience, the experience of professionals and the trust 
of customers, professionals and partners, which, in turn, could have a detrimental impact on the availability 
of professionals, the cooperation partnerships available to Terveystalo, customerships and, through these, the 
company’s operational and financial performance.
Prevention of corruption and 
bribery
Positive impact (potential): Effective processes for the prevention and identification of corruption and bribery 
can prevent illegal incidents of corruption and bribery and ensure that potential incidents are investigated 
promptly and appropriately. Potential identified incidents can be used to develop even more effective and 
efficient processes for preventing and identifying corruption and bribery to enable the identification of 
potential misconduct incidents and risks.
Risk (potential): If Terveystalo were to fail to prevent or detect incidents of corruption and bribery, it could 
have a detrimental impact on the company's reputation and the trust of customers, partners, suppliers 
and professionals, which, in turn, could have a detrimental impact on the availability of professionals, the 
cooperation partnerships available to Terveystalo, customerships and, through these, the company’s operational 
and financial performance. Such failures could also have other significant negative financial consequences for 
the company. 
Responsible supply chain
Positive impact (potential): Selecting partners that are responsible and operate in adherence to high standards 
of sustainable business promotes the realisation of ethical, social and environmental aspects throughout the 
value chain and supply chain and in society as a whole. 
Risk (potential): Unethical or illegal practices occurring in Terveystalo’s value chain or supply chain could have 
an indirect detrimental impact on the trust of customers, professionals and partners, which in turn could have 
a detrimental impact on the availability of professionals, the cooperation partnerships available to Terveystalo, 
customerships and, through these, the company’s operational and financial performance. Although the majority 
of the company’s suppliers are domestic, there may still be unidentified risks related to the supply chain and 
individual product or service categories.
Respect for human rights
Negative impact (potential): Failure to identify human rights risks and impacts and manage adverse impacts 
could lead to violations of the human rights of customers, personnel, partners or other stakeholders in 
Terveystalo’s value chain.
Risk (potential): Suspected or actual human rights violations in Terveystalo’s own operations or its value chain 
could have a detrimental impact on Terveystalo’s reputation, which in turn could have a detrimental impact 
on the availability of professionals, the cooperation partnerships available to Terveystalo, customerships and, 
through these, also on the company’s operational and financial performance. Failure to protect human rights 
could also cause financial losses to Terveystalo in the form of potential sanctions and legal costs.
Responsible tax payment
Positive impact (actual): The tax revenue received by the state from the financial result of Terveystalo’s 
operations is used to fund public services and investments to support the state’s capabilities, responsibility 
and responsiveness.

Description of the processes 
to identify and assess material 
impacts, risks and opportunities 
IRO-1 
Terveystalo has defined its material sustainability matters 
in cooperation with its key stakeholders. In addition to 
continuous stakeholder dialogue, Terveystalo conducted 
a double materiality assessment in accordance with 
the principles laid down in the European Sustainability 
Reporting Standards (ESRS) of the Corporate 
Sustainability Reporting Directive in 2023 to identify 
Terveystalo's material sustainability-related impacts, 
risks and opportunities. The content of Terveystalo’s 
sustainability reporting was determined on the basis of 
the results of the double materiality assessment. 
The double materiality assessment comprised two 
dimensions: the materiality of impacts and financial 
materiality. According to ESRS 1, a sustainability matter 
is material from an impact perspective when it pertains 
to the undertaking’s material actual or potential, positive 
or negative impacts on people or the environment in the 
short-, medium- or long-term. A sustainability matter 
is material from a financial perspective if it triggers 
or could reasonably be expected to trigger material 
financial effects on the undertaking. 
To identify the material impacts related to 
sustainability matters, Terveystalo's materiality 
assessment process assessed Terveystalo’s actual and 
potential negative and positive impacts over different 
time horizons, and the views of different stakeholders 
were taken into account to identify and assess the 
impacts. Each sustainability matter with a material 
impact was also assessed with regard to whether it 
triggers or could potentially trigger material financial 
effects on Terveystalo.
The steps of the assessment process
Initially, a long list of sustainability matters that are 
potentially relevant to Terveystalo was compiled on 
the basis of various sustainability frameworks, such as 
SASB (The Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), 
GRI (The Global Reporting Initiative) and CSRD ESRS 
1 Appendix B. The sustainability topics identified as 
material in Terveystalo’s previous materiality assessment 
in 2019 were also included. The identification of 
potential topics also took into account the sustainability 
themes and trends of the industry and Terveystalo's 
competitors, as well as sustainability topics that had 
received media coverage. Based on these, the first 
long list of potentially material sustainability matters 
was compiled. 
In the subsequent steps of the process, the topics 
were assessed by the core team for reporting, as well 
as based on a personnel survey, internal interviews and 
internal workshops. The employee survey was used 
to assess Terveystalo’s most important positive and 
negative impacts on its employees. Customer views were 
taken into account based on previous feedback (SBM-2 
on page 76). The identified sustainability matters were 
scored and prioritised in two internal workshops whose 
participants included specialists in the quality of care and 
patient safety, legal affairs and compliance, information 
security and data protection, environmental matters, 
human resources and procurement. Each topic was first 
assessed and scored based on the related impacts. The 
impacts were assessed with regard to Terveystalo’s own 
operations and the upstream and downstream value 
chain. Impact materiality was assessed on a scale of 1–5 
based on the severity of the impacts, i.e. the scale, scope 
and irremediable character of the impacts. The likelihood 
of the potential impacts was assessed and scored by 
combining a qualitative assessment of the likelihood of 
the impacts with Terveystalo’s measures to manage the 
impacts. Positive impacts related to the sustainability 
matters were assessed on the basis of their scale and 
scope, and potential positive impacts were also assessed 
on the basis of the combination of their likelihood and 
the measures taken to pursue them.
Each sustainability matter assessed as having 
material impacts was also assessed from the perspective 
of risks and opportunities and the financial effects 
potentially related to the sustainability matter in the 
short (reporting period, i.e. one year), medium (1–5 
years) and long term (>5 years). The assessment aimed 
to identify material dependencies related to each 
sustainability matter that may cause material risks to 
Terveystalo’s operations and financial performance, 
for example, in relation to the adequacy of personnel, 
customer data protection or the quality of care received 
by customers. The financial effects were assessed 
qualitatively on a scale of 1–5 (1 = “not at all” and 5 = 
“absolute”). The identification and scoring of financial 
effects also took into account megatrends that have 
an impact on Terveystalo and observations from 
interviews with institutional investors representing 
significant shareholders.
After each sustainability matter had been assessed 
and scored in terms of the related impacts and risks/
opportunities, the scores were validated in a workshop 
attended by specialists from different functions. Finally, 
all of the scored sustainability matters were placed in 
matrices, where the X-axis scores describe the severity 
of impacts in terms of impact materiality and the Y-axis 
scores describe the likelihood of the impacts and, with 
regard to the materiality of risks/opportunities, the scale 
of the financial effects and the likelihood of the risk/
opportunity. Placed on the location of the coordinates, 
the threshold value was set in the top corner of the 
matrix (coordinate value 3.5;3.5 on a scale of 1–5). Based 
on this, the most material sustainability matters related 
to Terveystalo’s personnel (ESRS S1 – Own workforce), 
customers (ESRS S4 – Consumers and end-users) and 
ethical business (ESRS G1 – Business conduct) were 
selected. The material sustainability matters identified 
on the basis of the materiality assessment were 
approved by Terveystalo's Executive Team and Board of 
Directors in 2023. 
Sustainability risks are also assessed as part 
of Terveystalo Group’s general risk management. 
Terveystalo identifies risks using operating environment 
and stakeholder analyses, business performance 
indicators, market analyses, effectiveness information, 
customer feedback, register data, inspection reports and 
enquiries 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 external audits of the ISO 9001:2015 quality 
management system, the ISO 14001:2015 environmental 
management system and the ISO 13485 quality 
management system for application development.

of the company’s annual strategy process. Resilience in 
relation to Terveystalo’s material impacts and risks was 
assessed in the short, medium and long term as part of 
a double materiality assessment. The relevant personnel 
resources were increased following the assessment. To 
increase resilience, Terveystalo will conduct a climate risk 
analysis and further specify the environmental and social 
impacts of its value chain in 2025. The assessment of 
resilience will be further specified in connection with the 
update of the double materiality assessment in 2025.
The assessment process that served as the basis for 
the 2024 report was focused on the largest business 
segment, Healthcare Services, the operations of which 
generate the company’s most significant and extensive 
impacts, risks and opportunities, and whose activities 
are fully under the company’s own operational control. 
The results have not been separately validated in the 
subsidiaries, which represent less than 10 percent of the 
company’s revenue.
Terveystalo will update its double materiality 
assessment in 2025 in accordance with the ESRS 
requirements. The key results of the human rights 
impact assessment carried out in late 2024 will be taken 
into account in the update of the double materiality 
assessment and the development of the company’s due 
diligence process in 2025. The assessment of climate-
related environmental impacts will also be expanded to 
cover the supply chain more comprehensively in 2025.
Non-material sustainability matters
Based on the results of the double materiality 
assessment, climate change is not one of Terveystalo’s 
material sustainability themes. Of the environment-
related standards, ESRS E2 – Pollution, ESRS E3 – Water 
and marine resources, ESRS E4 – Biodiversity and 
ecosystems, and ESRS E5 – Resource use and circular 
economy have also not emerged as material topics and 
have not been included in the sustainability statement. 
Terveystalo assesses the climate-related impacts 
of its operations by calculating and reporting the 
Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions caused by its operations 
annually, and Scope 3 emissions from 2024 onwards. 
From the perspective of Terveystalo’s operations, the 
total emissions are not significant in scale. Terveystalo’s 
value chain is clear, as is typical of service businesses, and 
the number of significant operators in the value chain is 
manageable. For 2024, Terveystalo voluntarily reports its 
emissions in the Environment Appendix of the Annual 
Report. Terveystalo does not operate in an industry 
that is significantly exposed to transition risks related 
to climate change. The company also does not develop 
services or solutions for climate change mitigation or 
adaptation. Global warming increases morbidity, which 
may increase the demand for the company’s services. 
Climate change or other environmental matters were 
not highlighted as a material topic in the stakeholders’ 
expectations. Terveystalo will develop its climate 
risk assessment process in 2025 to comply with the 
ESRS requirements.
However, for the sake of transparency and the 
continuity of reporting, Terveystalo continues to 
voluntarily report information related to its key 
environmental impacts in the Environment Appendix of 
the Annual Report, but Terveystalo does not adhere to 
the requirements of the ESRS environmental standards 
with respect to the disclosures in question. 
Terveystalo has not, in connection with the double 
materiality assessment, assessed climate-related physical 
or transition risks with the help of scenario analyses as 
required by the ESRS standard. The risks have been 
otherwise assessed by internal specialists. Based on 
the assessment, Terveystalo’s physical risks related 
to climate change concern the clinic and hospital 
properties at which the company operates. All of the 
company’s sites are located in Finland and Sweden, 
which means that acute physical risks are low. The 
chronic climate change-related risks to the property 
portfolio are potentially reflected in higher rental costs. 
The term of the lease agreements is typically in the 
range of 3–7 years, depending on the site. However, 
the company has good bargaining power, and lease 
or energy costs do not represent a significant part 
of its costs. 
Terveystalo’s site-specific environmental 
programmes assess the environmental impacts of 
operations from the perspective of waste management, 
chemical safety, energy use, the use of technology, 
equipment safety and material procurement. 
Terveystalo’s water consumption is assessed as part of 
unit-specific environmental programmes. Water used in 
operations is mainly municipal water, which is included 
in the rent of the premises. Terveystalo strives to reduce 
water use by replacing taps with automatic taps when 
the company's business premises are renovated, for 
example. In equipment procurement, water-consuming 
equipment is procured on a centralised basis, taking 
environmental factors into account. The company 
has not organised any consultations with regard 
to pollution or water use. Terveystalo has also not 
assessed the impacts of its operations on biodiversity. 
The most significant waste fractions generated 
in Terveystalo’s operations are documents subject to 
data protection, mixed waste and waste paper and 
cardboard. At most of the company’s sites, the owner of 
the property is responsible for waste management. For 
2024, Terveystalo voluntarily reports on waste volumes 
in the Environment Appendix on of the Annual Report. 
In Terveystalo’s environmental programme, equipment 
safety and material purchasing are assessed from a 
life-cycle perspective, taking into account the adverse 
environmental impacts of equipment purchasing and 
choices of materials. In equipment purchasing, the 
aim is to purchase equipment only when its estimated 
utilisation rate and service life are significant. The 
procurement process takes into account the equipment's 
recyclability and life-cycle extension opportunities 
through regular servicing and maintenance. In the 
purchasing of materials, the recyclability of materials is 
taken into account and the aim is to minimise logistics 
related to the transport of materials.
ESRS S2 – Workers in the value chain and 
ESRS S3 – Affected communities did not emerge as 
material topics and are therefore not included in the 
sustainability statement.

Environmental information 
EU taxonomy reporting
The EU taxonomy is a classification system for 
sustainable finance that establishes criteria for 
determining environmentally 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 an economic 
activity must meet to be classified as environmentally 
sustainable. The regulation sets out six environmental 
objectives: climate change mitigation, climate change 
adaptation, sustainable use and protection of water 
and marine resources, transition to a circular economy, 
prevention and reduction of pollution, and protection 
and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems. 
Economic activities that contribute substantially to any 
of these objectives, while doing no significant harm 
to the other objectives and complying with minimum 
social safeguards, can be considered environmentally 
sustainable under certain criteria. Large companies must 
report the proportion of sustainable activities in their 
business in accordance with the taxonomy criteria.
At present, the EU taxonomy mainly concerns the 
economic activities that play the most important role 
in achieving the environmental objectives. As a result, 
many industries, such as healthcare services, are almost 
completely excluded from the scope of the current 
taxonomy. Terveystalo has determined its taxonomy 
eligibility by examining its activities in relation to the 
economic activities listed in the taxonomy. Only one of 
Terveystalo’s businesses is classified in the taxonomy 
(12.1 Residential care activities).
After this, Terveystalo has evaluated the taxonomy 
alignment of the activity. The activity is classified as 
taxonomy-aligned if the taxonomy criteria are met: 1. 
The activity contributes substantially to the achievement 
of at least one environmental objective, 2. it does not 
have significant adverse impacts from the perspective of 
the other environmental objectives, and 3. the activity 
complies with the minimum social safeguards defined 
in the taxonomy. Based on this assessment, Terveystalo's 
taxonomy-listed activity (12.1 Residential care activities) 
cannot be considered taxonomy-aligned because the 
activity, due to its nature, does not target or support 
the achievement of the environmental objectives 
of the taxonomy.
Based on the assessment, the significance of 
Terveystalo's taxonomy-eligible activities is negligible 
in terms of key performance indicators. The key 
performance indicators are the taxonomy-eligible and 
taxonomy-aligned activities' proportion (percent) of 
turnover, operating expenditure and capital expenditure. 
According to the company's estimate, 1 percent of 
Terveystalo’s turnover and capital expenditure and 
4 percent of Terveystalo’s operating expenditure are 
taxonomy-eligible, whereas 99 percent of Terveystalo’s 
turnover and capital expenditure and 96 percent of 
Terveystalo’s operating expenditure are non-eligible. 
The proportion of turnover is calculated by dividing 
the turnover of child welfare services (taxonomy-
eligible activity) by the total turnover of the Group. 
The proportion of capital expenditure (CapEx) is 
calculated by dividing the investments made in child 
welfare services during the year by the net investments 
of the company, excluding acquisitions. The share of 
operating expenditure (OpEx) is calculated by dividing 
the operating expenditure for child welfare services by 
the total operating expenditure of the Group (excluding 
depreciation and amortisation). Taxonomy-aligned 
activities account for 0 percent of Terveystalo’s turnover, 
operating expenditure and capital expenditure, while 
activities that are not taxonomy-aligned account 
for 100 percent. The evaluation according to the 
EU taxonomy described above has been performed 
through an internal assessment by representatives of the 
sustainability and financial management organisation.

SBM-3
Terveystalo is one of the largest employers in 
Finland. At the end of 2024, Terveystalo's operations 
in Finland had 8,383 (8,950) employees and 5,967 
(5,987) non-employees. In Sweden, Terveystalo’s 
subsidiary Feelgood had 770 (874) employees and 48 
(105) non-employees. The decrease in the number of 
employees in Finland was affected by the measures of 
the profit improvement programme and the termination 
of outsourcing contracts. In Sweden the number of 
employed staff and private practitioners was reduced 
due to ended customer contracts as part of the profit 
improvement programme.
As the need for care increases due to the ageing 
of the population, the shortage of professionals is the 
greatest challenge in healthcare. With this in mind, it 
is a key strategic goal for Terveystalo to ensure that the 
company has an adequate number of engaged and 
highly competent healthcare professionals for Terveystalo 
to meet the growing demand and achieve its strategic 
targets. Terveystalo’s goal is to be the best and most 
attractive employer in its industry. In accordance with its 
strategy, Terveystalo aims to strengthen its attractiveness 
as a workplace and promote its positive impacts related to 
its own workforce, for example by offering professionals 
competitive remuneration, a healthy and safe working 
environment and diverse career and development 
opportunities. Terveystalo develops the digital tools 
used by its professionals to streamline work, increase 
productivity and improve the quality of care. 
If Terveystalo were to fail to attract and retain the 
necessary professionals on competitive terms, it could 
lead to an increase in Terveystalo’s personnel and 
recruitment costs, which could adversely affect the 
maintenance and development of business operations. 
The realisation of this risk could have a material adverse 
impact on Terveystalo’s business, financial position, 
profitability and future prospects. In 2024, Terveystalo 
was able to increase the supply of professionals through 
various measures, and Terveystalo was able to meet the 
demand for health services in terms of human resources, 
even though the number of personnel decreased 
from the comparison period. Management structures 
were streamlined as part of the profit improvement 
programme, and the personnel reductions made under 
the programme mainly concerned administrative 
roles. The supply was also affected to some extent by 
measures to streamline work processes and the resulting 
increase in productivity. 
The material impacts, risks and opportunities related 
to Terveystalo's own workforce have been identified 
in the company’s double materiality assessment, and 
they are presented in more detail on pages 78–79 of 
the sustainability statement. Based on the material 
impacts, risks and opportunities identified in the double 
materiality assessment (described on pages 81–82), 
Terveystalo’s material sustainability matters related to its 
own workforce are: 
•	
adequate wages/remuneration (risk)
•	
work-life balance (positive impact) 
•	
health and safety (positive impact) 
•	
training and skills development (positive impact) 
•	
efficient working practices/efficient use of human 
resources (positive impact, opportunity) 
•	
engagement of employees and professionals (risk).
In the double materiality assessment, Terveystalo has 
not identified any activities that involve significant 
risks related to the use of forced labour or child labour. 
In the materiality assessment, Terveystalo has not 
separately identified negative impacts on employees 
with particular characteristics, those working in particular 
contexts or those undertaking particular activities. 
Terveystalo has also not identified any material impacts 
on the company’s own workforce that may arise from 
transition plans for reducing negative impacts on the 
environment and achieving greener and climate-neutral 
operations. The impacts, risks and opportunities 
related to the company’s own workforce have been 
assessed at the level of the company’s entire workforce. 
The company’s own workforce includes Terveystalo’s 
employees and non-employees, such as self-employed 
private practitioners and temporary agency workers. 
Terveystalo’s employees include representatives of 
several professional groups, with the key groups being 
physicians, nurses, other healthcare professionals, 
digital workers and people in administrative and 
management roles. Private practitioners include among 
others physicians and therapists. Unless otherwise 
stated, reporting in accordance with this standard covers 
Terveystalo’s own workforce in its entirety.
Policies related to own workforce
S1-1
The management of the impacts, risks and opportunities 
related to Terveystalo’s own workforce is guided by the 
applicable legislation, the company’s values, the Code 
of Conduct and the remuneration policy, among other 
things. Terveystalo's values and corporate culture, and 
the key policies pertaining to human rights, equality 
and non-discrimination, remuneration, personnel 
development and occupational health and safety are 
described briefly in the paragraphs below. 
Terveystalo's values and 
corporate culture

progress. We challenge ourselves to build more 
functional healthcare for everyone and reform the 
industry with open-minded use of technology.
The company’s Code of Conduct states that Terveystalo 
is a company with strong values operating in a value-
based industry, and that Terveystalo's corporate culture 
combines a strong work ethic, professionalism, solution-
driven teamwork and the pursuit of measurable impact 
in everything the company does. Terveystalo’s corporate 
culture is described in more detail in section G1 – 
Business conduct on page 123.
Code of Conduct 
According to Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct, Terveystalo 
ensures that its professionals have a safe working 
environment that supports well-being and in which 
everyone can work in the best possible way. Everyone 
at Terveystalo is responsible for promoting safety and 
well-being at work. The best way to do this is to follow 
common instructions and to actively report any incidents 
or safety-related shortcomings. In addition to physical 
safety, Terveystalo aims to promote the mental health and 
well-being of its personnel.
Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct contains key 
principles concerning human rights, equality, diversity, 
non-discrimination, inclusion and respectful treatment. 
No-one is discriminated against on the basis of gender, 
age, ethnic or national origin, nationality, language, 
religion, beliefs, opinions, health status, disability, sexual 
orientation or other personal reasons or circumstances. 
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 value chain or supply chain. 
Discrimination and unfair treatment are prohibited in 
recruitment, remuneration, training, promotion or other 
terms of employment. There company has zero tolerance 
for sexual harassment and other forms of harassment 
and bullying. 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 respects the right of its employees 
to be members of trade unions or similar advocacy 
organisations and participate in their activities. 
Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct includes a commitment 
to always complying with the laws and regulations 
governing Terveystalo’s operations. The Code of Conduct 
is the foundation of Terveystalo’s corporate culture and 
human resources management. It applies to the entire 
Group and its own workforce as well as all identified 
material impacts, risks and opportunities related to its 
own workforce. The Code of Conduct is described in more 
detail in section G1 – Business conduct on page 126.
Human rights policy
Terveystalo is committed to respecting the fundamental 
rights and freedoms of all individuals in accordance 
with international human rights standards. Terveystalo’s 
first human rights policy, approved in January 2025, 
emphasises the company’s commitment and approach 
to respecting human rights. The human rights policy is 
described in section G1 – Business conduct on page 125.
Work community development plan 
Terveystalo has, in cooperation with personnel 
representatives in its Finnish operations, prepared a work 
community development plan for the long-term and 
systematic development of the work community. The 
plan includes a description of the current state of the 
personnel, as well as targets and measures for developing 
and maintaining personnel competence and promoting 
well-being at work. The development plan concerns the 
employees of Terveystalo’s operations in Finland. 
The development plan also includes Terveystalo’s 
equality and non-discrimination plan. At Terveystalo, 
the aim is to promote not only gender equality but also 
the equality and non-discrimination of different age 
groups and nationalities in the context of hiring and 
employment relationships, including recruitment, pay and 
terms of employment, training and career advancement, 
and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The 
implementation of equality and non-discrimination 
is monitored with the help of statistics reflecting the 
personnel structure, among other things.
Terveystalo’s working group on equality became 
operational at the beginning of 2023. Its aim is to promote 
equality in Terveystalo’s work communities and customer 
encounters. It meets quarterly to discuss topics related to 
equality. In 2024, the main focus was on developing the 
realisation of equality, particularly from the perspective of 
sexual and gender minorities, and on assessing practices 
that would enable equality to be realised even better 
at Terveystalo and its work communities. In 2024, the 
working group included 11 Terveystalo professionals 
representing different parts of the Finnish organisation. 
The composition of the working group changes annually 
so that as many people as possible have the opportunity 
to participate in the activities. 
The work community development plan is updated 
regularly, and it serves as a tool for dialogue with 
the personnel. The most recent work community 
development plan was prepared in early 2024 and 
approved by Terveystalo’s Personnel Forum. Terveystalo's 
Senior Vice President, Human Resources is the senior 
executive responsible for the implementation of the 
development plan.
Policies concerning remuneration
One of the areas of Terveystalo’s human resources 
strategy is the development of meaningful and 
competitive incentive and remuneration models that 
strengthen the performance and commitment of 
professionals and Terveystalo’s attractiveness as an 
employer. Terveystalo’s remuneration principles are 
defined in the Remuneration Policy approved by the 
company’s Board of Directors. The Remuneration Policy 
applies to the entire Group and its employees. The 
remuneration principles are based on performance, 
fairness and competitiveness. The aim is to ensure that 
Terveystalo is an attractive employer for motivated and 
skilled professionals. Remuneration must support the

achievement of Terveystalo’s strategic targets, incentivise 
behaviour that is consistent with Terveystalo’s values, 
and reward excellent performance. The Group’s Senior 
Vice President, Human Resources is in charge of the 
implementation of the Remuneration Policy. 
In Finland, 65 percent of Terveystalo’s employees 
are covered by collective agreements. Three different 
collective agreements are in use in Finland: The 
collective agreement for the private healthcare 
sector, the collective agreement for the private social 
services sector and the collective agreement for the 
staffing services sector. Directors and senior salaried 
employees, including for example the majority of 
physicians and psychologists, are not covered by 
the collective agreements. For persons covered by 
collective agreements, such as nurses, compensation is 
based on the pay categories specified in the collective 
agreement. Pay is also influenced by role-specific 
responsibility supplements, the employee’s seniority, 
individual performance and competence. For senior 
salaried employees and managers, pay is determined 
on the basis of the position and the demands of the 
job, as well as competence, experience, performance 
and results. In Sweden, 100 percent of the employees 
are covered by collective agreements. Two collective 
agreements are in use in Sweden: Healthcare Companies 
Branch D Occupational Health Services, and Healthcare 
Companies Branches E and F Care and Treatment.
Pay equality is assessed and promoted regularly as 
part of the work community development plan. Gender, 
for example, cannot be a factor that influences pay. 
Terveystalo monitors the market levels of wages in both 
the private and public sectors, aiming to maintain its 
competitiveness also with respect to pay. 
Policies concerning health and safety
The occupational safety of Terveystalo’s own workforce 
in Finland is developed and managed at the Group 
level, taking company-specific and business-specific 
differences into account. Group-level policies and 
instructions concerning occupational safety are put into 
action in accordance with the management processes of 
each business-specific organisation. Where necessary, 
the businesses prepare targeted instructions, taking the 
Group policies and guidelines into consideration. The 
different levels of the organisation know and recognise 
their responsibilities with regard to occupational safety 
in compliance with Finnish legislation. The legally 
required occupational safety and health activities are 
ensured through Group-level cooperation with active 
occupational safety and health personnel. The health 
and safety representative is elected by the employees 
from among their number. 
The Group supports all of its businesses in the 
development of occupational safety. Terveystalo’s goal is 
to be a safer working environment every day. 
Occupational healthcare plays an important 
role in the identification of health risk factors and 
the prevention of illnesses. In Finland, occupational 
healthcare for Terveystalo's employees is organised 
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. The occupational healthcare services 
offered to Terveystalo’s employees exceed the statutory 
requirements to a substantial degree, as the employees 
also have extensive access to other healthcare services in 
addition to legally required services.
The safety of the company's operating premises 
is the responsibility of the persons in charge of each 
site and designated facility and safety specialists, 
safety officers and safety supervisors. They implement 
the practices established for the development and 
assurance of facilities safety at each site to ensure that 
Terveystalo's operating premises are safe for both 
customers and the personnel. Terveystalo works closely 
with lessors and the rescue authorities to ensure the 
safety of facilities. 
Terveystalo’s occupational health operations are 
based on the 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 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 statutory occupational health action plan 
includes the general objectives of occupational 
healthcare as well as the workplace conditions identified 
in workplace surveys (e.g. noise, exposure to biological 
hazards and the potential threat of violence) and the 
measures necessary to manage the aforementioned 
conditions. The action plan is reviewed annually based 
on workplace visits and Terveystalo’s work ability 
management needs, for example. Terveystalo's private 
practitioners are not covered by occupational health 
care. Instead, as self-employed persons, they arrange 
their own occupational healthcare. 
In Sweden (Feelgood), the occupational safety and 
health of the company's own workforce is organised in 
accordance with Swedish legislation. The operations are 
guided by a certified ISO 45001 occupational health and 
safety system, which includes requirements concerning 
the occupational health and safety policy, targets and 
measures, among other things. 
Processes for engaging with 
own workers and workers’ 
representatives about impacts 
S1-2
Terveystalo maintains a regular dialogue with its personnel 
to develop the operations of the workplace and the work 
community. The aim is to promote the sufficient and 
timely exchange of information between the employer 
and the personnel, and to give the personnel the 
opportunity to influence matters related to their work, 
working conditions and position. Dialogue between the 
employer and personnel representatives takes place in 
the Personnel Forum, which meets five times a year, and 
whose members represent the employees of Terveystalo's 
Finnish operations broadly (both professionally and 
geographically). In addition, the chief shop stewards meet 
regularly, on a weekly basis, with the Group-level executive 
in charge of employment relationships. The chief shop 
stewards are supported by regional shop stewards, who 
engage in dialogue on regional matters with the business 
management and the regional HR partner.
Employee representatives and their role 
in engaging with own workers 
Employees in Terveystalo's Finnish operations are 
represented by shop stewards, employee representatives 
and health and safety representatives, who all play an 
important role in developing the effectiveness of the 
work community and working conditions, as well as 
safeguarding the rights of employees. Shop stewards 
represent trade unions and their members at the 
workplace. In cooperation negotiations and workplace-
specific local negotiations, the shop steward represents the 
Terveystalo

Sustainability statement

employees covered by the relevant collective agreement. 
The shop steward’s most important task is to monitor 
compliance with the collective agreement and labour laws, 
as well as other agreements between the employer and 
the employees, at the workplace and, if necessary, take 
action to address problems. The shop steward negotiates 
with the employer on personnel-related matters and is 
involved in developing the work community with the 
represented employees and the employer. The shop 
steward ensures that employees are treated fairly and 
equally. Where necessary, the shop steward provides 
advice and support to trade union members in working 
life and related change situations. The shop steward’s 
position is based on the collective agreement, the 
Cooperation Act and the shop steward agreements 
concluded between the health and social services sector’s 
negotiation organisation Sote ry, Terveystalo and the 
health services sector union Terveyspalvelualan Unioni ry. 
The shop steward agreement defines the number of shop 
stewards at Terveystalo and how they allocate their time, 
among other things.
Employees who do not have a shop steward as 
referred to in a binding collective agreement pursuant to 
the Collective Agreements Act can elect a representative 
from among their number, subject to an agreement with 
the employer. The duties and mandate of an elected 
representative are determined by the provisions of 
the Employment Contracts Act and other applicable 
labour legislation. At Terveystalo, psychologists have an 
elected representative. 
The safety and working conditions of the workplace 
are monitored and supervised by a health and safety 
representative. The health and safety representative 
is familiar with occupational safety and health and 
the applicable legislation. The health and safety 
representative represents all personnel regardless of 
union membership. The health and safety representative 
works together with the shop steward to promote the 
occupational well-being of employees. The health and 
safety representative is elected by the employees from 
among their number. The term of office is two years.
Broad representation of employees in 
the Personnel Forum
The aim of the Personnel Forum is to promote dialogue 
between the employer and the employees. The Personnel 
Forum is an official forum for influence and discussion on 
matters concerning the entire Terveystalo Group, and it 
is an activity that is in accordance with the Cooperation 
Act. The Personnel Forum discusses issues concerning 
the employer’s business, finances and the position of 
personnel, as provided for in Section 29 of the Cooperation 
Act and the Act on Cooperation within Finnish and 
Community-wide Groups of Undertakings. An annual plan 
is drawn up for the activities of the Personnel Forum.
The Personnel Forum engages in regular dialogue 
on the issues mentioned in Section 8 of the Cooperation 
Act, such as the company's development outlook 
and financial situation, workplace rules and practices, 
the ways of using the workforce and the structure of 
the personnel, competence needs and competence 
building, as well as maintaining and promoting well-
being at work. The term of office of the Personnel Forum 
is three years. The employee representatives are elected. 
Candidacy is open to members of the personnel who 
are in an employment relationship with the company. 
The Personnel Forum includes representatives 
of all of Terveystalo’s businesses. It also includes 
the chief shop stewards representing Sote ry and 
Terveyspalvelualan Unioni ry, the national shop steward 
for partnership solutions, and one of the health and 
safety representatives. The meetings are always attended 
by the CEO and the Senior Vice President, Human 
resources, as well as other executives depending on 
the topic being discussed. Minutes are prepared on the 
meetings and posted on the company's intranet, where 
they are accessible to all employees. During the period 
2022–2024, the Personnel Forum had 12 members and 
two deputy members, and it met four times per year. 
The Group’s Senior Vice President, Human 
Resources is responsible for ensuring that dialogue and 
communication take place as described above and that 
the issues raised in the dialogue are taken into account in 
the company’s operating practices.
In addition to the legally required dialogue, 
Terveystalo engages in dialogue with employees in regular 
development discussions that are usually held twice a 
year, in one-to-one discussions that are held at least once a 
month, and with private practitioners in private practitioner 
discussions that are available at least once a year.
 Terveystalo conducts a professional survey twice 
a year. The survey is an important tool for improving 
internal operating practices and supervisory work. The 
survey is aimed at professionals who work at Terveystalo, 
including private practitioners. The professional survey 
provides information on the professionals' experiences of 
well-being at work, leadership and the effectiveness of 
the work community, among other things. 
Terveystalo also actively shares information with the 
personnel on current topics, such as the implementation 
of the strategy, by organising regular personnel 
webinars and supervisor briefings. The company’s 
intranet is a key information sharing channel for all 
common information, policies and guidelines. 
Development discussions and private 
practitioner discussions support 
management and cooperation
At Terveystalo, annual development discussions 
are held with employees to support goal-driven 
and motivated work. The development discussion 
includes a review of the previous period's successes 
and lessons learned 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, and cooperation, as well as long-
term objectives and wishes. In Finland, the themes 
discussed in the development discussion are revisited 
in regular one-to-one discussions and more extensive 
half-year reviews. The development discussions 
are a key aspect of the practical implementation of 
Terveystalo’s strategy, values and professional skills 
as well as performance management and enhancing 
the experience of Terveystalo's professionals. 
Terveystalo also engages in active dialogue with the 
private practitioners 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 private practitioner at Terveystalo. 
The professional survey as a tool 
for developing operations and the 
professional experience
Terveystalo conducts an annual professional survey in 
Finland with the aim of giving a voice to Terveystalo’s 
professionals, increasing interaction with them and,

above all, developing operations and the professional 
experience based on the results of the survey. The target 
group of the survey includes both employees and private 
practitioners. The results of the surveys are discussed in 
management groups, teams and the Personnel Forum, 
for example. Based on the results, development plans 
and measures are created at the organisational level, 
professional group level and team level. Examples of 
topics that are closely monitored include satisfaction with 
supervisory work, satisfaction with the work community 
and opportunities for success in one’s work. Typically, a 
second and smaller follow-up survey is carried out each 
year for the same target group. An annual personnel 
survey is also carried out in Sweden. 
Processes to remediate negative 
impacts and channels for own 
workers to raise concerns
S1-3
Terveystalo’s company culture combines a high work 
ethic, professionalism, solution-oriented cooperation 
and the pursuit of measurable impact in everything the 
company does. In addition to the company’s values, 
Terveystalo’s operations are guided by Terveystalo’s 
Code of Conduct. One important aspect of Terveystalo’s 
culture of doing the right thing is that everyone who 
acts on behalf of or with Terveystalo Group 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 suspected of 
being, infringements of the Code of Conduct. 
Actual or suspected infringements are primarily 
reported to the supervisor, the supervisor’s supervisor 
or Terveystalo’s Legal & Compliance department. 
In HR-related matters, the primary contact channel 
is Terveystalo’s HR unit. Terveystalo also has a 
whistleblowing channel that is open to everyone. The 
whistleblowing channel can be used, for example, if 
the suspicion concerns serious misconduct or if, due to 
the sensitivity of the matter, it is necessary to report it 
anonymously. In Sweden, Feelgood Svenska AB and 
its subsidiaries have their own whistleblowing channel, 
which is intended for internal use within Feelgood. 
Reports received via Terveystalo's whistleblowing 
channel are processed only by persons designated to 
process reports in Terveystalo and Feelgood and, where 
necessary, specialists and external advisors appointed on 
an investigation-specific basis.
The Whistleblower Protection Act does not apply to 
matters that concern labour law, but the whistleblowing 
channel can also be used to report actual or suspected 
violations that are not within the scope of application 
of the Whistleblower Protection Act. In such cases, the 
whistleblower does not enjoy protection under the 
Whistleblower Protection Act. Instead, labour legislation 
and other applicable legislation are applied to reports 
that concern labour law, for example. Even in such cases, 
a whistleblower who acts in good faith is protected 
against retaliation on the basis of the applicable labour 
legislation. The Whistleblower Protection Act does not 
apply to reports related to the following matters, for 
example, which are processed by the HR unit as a rule:
•	
unilateral downgrading of work duties
•	
harassment or discrimination
•	
occupational safety issues
•	
problems related to the atmosphere at the 
workplace
•	
inappropriate behaviour or treatment by a 
supervisor or colleague.
Terveystalo encourages all of its employees and private 
practitioners to report any potential misconduct 
without delay. One of the focus areas of Terveystalo's 
compliance function has been to increase awareness 
of the whistleblowing channel to make the threshold 
for reporting as low as possible. Terveystalo estimates 
that this effort has been successful. Terveystalo Group's 
Code of Conduct emphasises that it is important to 
report actual or suspected violations of the Code 
of Conduct and describes the available reporting 
mechanisms. Terveystalo also has online training 
on the Code of Conduct aimed at everyone in the 
organisation. The training includes instructions on 
highlighting and reporting misconduct. The online 
course is mandatory for all Terveystalo employees, 
and its aim is to improve awareness of key themes 
related to compliance and the mechanisms for 
reporting non-compliance. Any suspected misconduct 
and violations are investigated appropriately and 
confidentially. Processes to remediate negative impacts 
and channels for raising concerns are described in 
more detail in section G1 – Business conduct on 
page 126–127.

S1-4
Terveystalo’s people strategy aims to 
ensure the engagement of professionals 
One of Terveystalo’s strategic goals is to be the best 
and most attractive employer in its industry for all 
professionals. To achieve this goal, Terveystalo has drawn 
up a people strategy that aims to ensure the engagement, 
job satisfaction and productivity of professionals through 
various measures and continuous development. 
The most important strategic measures during the 
strategy period 2025–2026 are as follows: 
•	
developing the user experience of the digital work 
environment used by professionals, 
•	
developing resource management and shift 
planning tools, 
•	
the renewal of remuneration models, 
•	
developing management and leadership skills and 
•	
an expanded training offering.
Terveystalo measures the success of the people strategy 
by means of the employee engagement index, eNPS 
(Employee Net Promoter Score), sickness absences and 
the exit turnover of personnel, among other indicators. 
The measures described in the following paragraphs are 
part of Terveystalo’s people strategy and continuous

development with regard to the impacts on its own 
workforce and, at the same time, measures for managing 
risks related to its own workforce. 
Measures concerning health and safety
The development of occupational safety at Terveystalo is 
focused on the identification, prevention and mitigation 
of health hazards and adverse health impacts arising from 
working conditions, as well as protecting and promoting 
the safety, work ability and health of employees.
An annual action plan is prepared for the 
development of occupational safety in Terveystalo’s 
operations in Finland. The following measures were 
taken in 2024, among others:
•	
training on threatening and violent situations 
for all personnel 
•	
a new annual calendar for job-specific hazard 
assessments was implemented 
•	
a new occupational safety and health period began, 
and the health and safety representatives' takeover 
of the new areas went according to plan 
•	
the Group's updated safety instructions were 
deployed across all operating locations. 
A new operating model for job-specific hazard 
assessment was deployed in 2023 and its 
implementation was continued successfully in 2024. 
In accordance with the annual calendar for job-specific 
hazard assessment, the focus in 2024 was on identifying 
workplace hazards and estimating the magnitude of the 
risks caused by the identified hazards.
All occupational accidents and commuting accidents 
at Terveystalo are reported and investigated. In addition, 
hazardous incidents concerning the personnel are 
actively recorded and monitored in order to improve the 
safety of operations. From the perspective of developing 
occupational safety, it is important to identify and 
report hazards and hazardous incidents in the working 
environment. According to the Finnish Occupational 
Safety and Health Act, employees must report any 
observed occupational safety deficiencies to the employer 
without delay. Terveystalo records approximately 1,400 
hazardous incidents concerning the personnel each year. 
Only a small fraction of these incidents causes a work-
related accident. Terveystalo has not had any occupational 
accidents or commuting accidents resulting in death or 
serious injury for several years. 
In addition to providing the legally required 
occupational health services, Terveystalo provides its 
employees in Finland with a comprehensive range of 
primary healthcare, specialised care and well-being 
services, such as physiotherapy and Mielen Chat and 
Mielen Sparri, which are digital services that support 
mental well-being. Mielen Chat and Mielen Sparri are 
low-threshold services that are provided remotely via 
the Terveystalo app. Brief psychotherapy is also part of 
Terveystalo’s occupational health services. The aim is 
to seek solutions to challenges related to work ability 
and occupational health at an early stage through 
cooperation with occupational health services. 
The safety and working conditions of the workplace 
are also monitored and supervised by a health and safety 
representative. The health and safety representative is 
familiar with occupational safety and health and the 
related legislation and regulations. The health and 
safety representative represents all personnel in their 
area regardless of union membership. The health and 
safety representative participates in the preparation of 
the occupational safety and health action programme, 
the preparation of the annual occupational safety and 
health action plan, job-specific hazard assessments, 
workplace visits and occupational safety and health 
inspections. Occupational safety and health personnel 
have jointly agreed-upon meeting practices and the 
training opportunities necessary for their duties. 
The Group-level occupational health and safety 
action plan describes the planned measures for the 
development of occupational health and safety work. 
The action plan is updated annually in collaboration 
with the occupational health and safety personnel, 
and its implementation is monitored in the Group’s 
quarterly occupational health and safety meetings. 
The occupational safety and health action plan for 
2024 included measures such as the implementation 
of training on threatening and violent situations 
for all personnel and the implementation of 
job-specific hazard assessments in accordance with the 
annual calendar.
The action plan that guides occupational health 
activities is updated annually and available to the 
personnel on the company’s intranet. Advice and 
guidance related to employee health and well-being 
at work, the assessment of work-related health risks, 
and the prevention and treatment of illnesses are 
part of normal cooperation with occupational health 
services and insurance company partners. In the 
treatment of serious illnesses, Terveystalo cooperates 
with primary healthcare and specialised healthcare. 
The occupational health action plan for 2024 was 
focused on the development of basic processes, such 
as health check-ups and workplace surveys.
Measures concerning work-life balance
As an employer, Terveystalo strives to support its 
personnel in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, 
because a healthy work-life balance supports the well-
being, productivity and job satisfaction of the personnel, 
which is also reflected in customer encounters. In the 
healthcare sector, where work is often demanding and 
there can be a lot of time pressure, finding a healthy 
balance can occasionally be challenging. With this in 
mind, Terveystalo aims to promote a healthy work-life 
balance by means of the measures described below, 
for example. 
Terveystalo is flexible in its contractual relationships 
and, where possible, offers different forms of 
employment to its personnel depending on the 
task, the need for labour and the employee’s wishes. 
Employment relationships are valid indefinitely unless 
there is an acceptable and clear reason for fixed-term 
employment, such as substitution arrangements. 
Full-time and part-time employment relationships, 
hourly work contracts and framework agreements are 
in use at Terveystalo. Part-time work can be agreed 
upon based on the employer’s needs or the employee’s 
wishes or needs. If necessary, hourly work contracts and 
framework agreements are used in situations where the 
need for labour is low and occasional. Temporary agency 
workers are used as needed and typically in the event of 
sudden substitution needs.
Employees in different life stages have different 
needs regarding work-life balance. These needs can be 
met through various forms of statutory leave, including 
family leave, study leave, care leave and job alternation 
leave. All Terveystalo employees are entitled to take 
statutory leave.

Strategy and business
Sustainability statement

Work at Terveystalo takes place flexibly and on 
a location-independent basis. The goals of the job 
determine the way work is performed. Terveystalo’s 
Group services have transitioned to hybrid work, where 
the teams agree on the most effective way of working 
for them. Terveystalo has also developed flexible 
work opportunities for professionals who work at the 
customer interface. Flexible work arrangements are now 
routine for physicians, occupational health professionals 
and those who work at customer service centres, 
for example. 
Measures concerning training and skills 
development 
Terveystalo actively develops the competence of its 
personnel and supports professional growth. Diverse 
training in various areas is offered to employees. Private 
practitioners also have opportunities to train and 
develop their competence at Terveystalo. 
The annual company-level planning of training 
ensures that Terveystalo anticipates training needs 
and that the training activities correspond to the 
competence needs of business operations. The training 
plan is reviewed by the Personnel Forum as part of 
the work community development plan. Terveystalo 
also creates personal training paths for employees 
to make training more systematic and plan driven. A 
personal training path is an individual training plan 
that enables the employee and the supervisor to agree 
on the individual's training for the next 6–12 months. 
Personal training paths had previously been introduced 
for occupational health professionals, and, in 2024, 
training paths were also introduced for nurses and 
radiographers. Terveystalo intends to expand the use 
the personalised plans in the near future to include 
general practitioners and laboratory professionals. 
Training is also discussed at the individual level as part 
of development discussions. 
In 2024, training was arranged in Terveystalo for 
an average of 13.4 hours per employee. Significant 
training investments were made in, for example, the 
development of supervisory work and leadership, 
building more in-depth professional expertise for 
different professional groups, the high-quality 
orientation training of new Terveystalo employees, and 
enhancing the use of digital tools among professionals. 
High-quality supervisory work and leadership 
are among Terveystalo’s strengths, and significant 
investments were again made in their development in 
2024. All supervisors had the opportunity to participate 
in training on topics such as feedback culture, rewards 
and high-quality performance management. Each 
year, Terveystalo trains dozens of new supervisors 
through the supervisor orientation programme and 
the Academy for new supervisors. Supervisors are also 
supported by means of regular supervisor briefings 
and supervisor letters, for example. In 2024, Terveystalo 
also started a leadership development programme 
that takes almost a year and has over 150 managers 
participating in it. The programme supports managers 
in their new, more demanding roles, strengthens 
Terveystalo’s common management method and 
enables personal competence development and growth 
for managers. 
Examples of training activities focused on 
professional competencies included dedicated training 
days for different professional groups, including 
nurses, physicians, occupational physiotherapists and 
occupational health psychologists. Training offered to 
physicians included several webinars and online courses 
as well as regular "From knowledge to skill" training 
organised approximately 2–3 times per month. In 2024, 
Terveystalo focused on areas such as developing the 
competence of physicians and raising broader general 
awareness of menopause symptoms and their diagnosis 
and treatment. Physicians were also offered a wide 
range of specialisation opportunities. The occupational 
health path specialisation program is the most extensive 
of the specialisation paths, and it is possible to specialise 
at almost all Terveystalo’s occupational health clinics in 
Finland. The specialisation training is carried out in close 
cooperation with the medical faculties of universities. 
In addition, over 100 of Terveystalo's physicians, nurses, 
physiotherapists and psychologists received specialised 
training on occupational health in 2024 by participating 
in a 15-credit occupational health study programme 
leading to a qualification in occupational healthcare. 
The training prepares the participants to work as an 
occupational healthcare professional and specialist. 
In 2024, the orientation training of several 
professional groups working in Finland, such as 
dentists, physicians and nurses, was developed and 
orientation paths were built in Academy, which is 
Terveystalo’s online training environment. The online 
learning environment enables the improved targeting 
of study activities at new Terveystalo professionals and 
provides increased opportunities for orientation training 
regardless of time and place. 
Measures concerning efficient 
working methods
Terveystalo continuously develops the digital tools 
used by its professionals to streamline work, increase 
productivity and improve the quality of care. 
In 2024, a new user interface, Ella, was introduced 
for Terveystalo’s online chat professionals. Ella is 
an application that combines an online chat screen 
with patient information retrieved from the patient 
information system. Ella provides professionals with 
more time for customer encounters, improves the quality 
of online appointments and speeds up online chat-
based work. This also supports the provision of care that 
is effective and caring, improves the customer experience 
and promotes the continuity of care. The new system 
is being developed to expand its use from online chat 
appointments to other types of appointments as well. 
The development work is being carried out together 
with healthcare professionals. The aim is that, in the next 
few years, the majority of appointments, both in person 
and remotely, will be handled through a completely 
new user interface. The aim is for the service to save time 
for the professional, increase productivity, make the 
working day less burdensome and make Terveystalo the 
most attractive place to work because the professional 
can focus on meaningful matters. When it comes to 
supporting and streamlining the work of professionals, 
Terveystalo also invests in improving the content and 
guidance of work by developing care guidance and 
care paths. Care guidance based on care paths aims to 
provide more consistent and effective care to customers 
and facilitate the work of professionals. The measures 
related to the development of care paths are described

end-users on page 118. 
All Terveystalo’s occupational health customers have 
access to the Symptom Assessment tool, a CE-marked 
medical device that makes the use of occupational health 
services smoother in the event of illness. The Symptom 
Assessment tool refers the customer to the right specialist 
and the right channel in a timely manner. The Symptom 
Assessment tool also supports the streamlining of the 
work of professionals by taking care of certain routine 
tasks on the professional’s behalf, allowing them to 
allocate more time to customer encounters.
The role of customer feedback is key in the 
development of work. Terveystalo’s specialists have 
expressed a wish for direct, personal customer feedback 
in addition to unit-specific feedback. Specialist-specific 
customer feedback is collected in connection with all 
of Terveystalo’s physician’s appointments and remote 
appointments in Finland. Personal feedback is an 
important tool for professional development. 
Measures concerning remuneration 
In Finland, 65 percent of Terveystalo’s employees are 
covered by collective agreements, which provide the 
framework for the development of remuneration. 
In 2024, the wage decision concerning the collective 
agreement for the private healthcare sector (TPTES) 
included a local tranche in addition to general increases. 
At Terveystalo, the local tranche was implemented as 
personal increases. In accordance with the principles 
agreed upon with personnel representatives, the 
local tranche was allocated to committed and high-
performing individuals whose wages were lower than 
their peer group. Terveystalo distributed 12 percent more 
increases than what was required for the local tranche 
under the TPTES agreement. In addition, a one-off 
payment of EUR 500 was paid to those covered by the 
TPTES agreement in December 2024. Personnel covered 
by the collective agreement for the private social services 
sector (YSOSTES) received a one-off payment of EUR 470 
in addition to the general increase. The one-off payment 
was made in June 2024. 
At Terveystalo, personnel benefits are an important 
part of overall remuneration. Terveystalo offers its 
employees comprehensive occupational healthcare, 
a lunch benefit and a sports, culture and well-being 
benefit. In 2024, Terveystalo also introduced a company 
bicycle benefit to encourage physical activity and 
promote the well-being of employees.
In late 2024, Terveystalo paid its employees a 
one-off bonus of EUR 500 as a reward for good work. 
The bonus was paid in late 2024 to approximately 5,500 
people, more than half of whom work as nurses or 
customer service professionals. 
Terveystalo's has a significant number of private 
practitioners in addition to employees. In 2024, 
Terveystalo introduced a new remuneration model for 
certain groups of private practitioners to guarantee 
more stable earnings for the professionals. Under the 
new model, Terveystalo guarantees a minimum level 
of remuneration for the private practitioners and sets a 
ceiling on remuneration.
Targets related to managing 
material negative impacts, 
advancing positive impacts, 
and managing material risks 
and opportunities
S1-5
Terveystalo has set two targets for managing the impacts 
and risks related to its own workforce: strengthening the 
commitment of professionals and keeping the sickness 
absences of the personnel at a low level. These targets 
cover all of the sustainability matters described above 
and measure the success of Terveystalo’s measures 
pertaining to its own workforce. The targets have been 
set by Terveystalo’s Senior Vice President, Human 
Resources and the Vice President, Sustainability, and 
approved by Terveystalo’s Executive Team and Board 
of Directors. The same targets are also monitored as 
part of the reporting to management, and the aim is to 
develop and improve operations based on the results 
of the metrics. The personnel in a broader sense or their 
representatives have not been involved in the process 
of setting the targets reported in the sustainability 
statement. The metrics related to Terveystalo's own 
workforce have not been separately verified by an 
external assurance provider.

Basis of preparation of the indicators 
Entity-specific metric - Engagement index for Terveystalo professionals
The engagement index for Terveystalo professionals is based on four questions from Terveystalo’s 
annual professional survey. The results are used to calculate the index value, i.e. the average of the 
results. The questions concern supervisory work (I am satisfied with my supervisor’s actions), the 
preconditions for success at work (I have the opportunity to succeed in my work), work communities 
(We have a good team spirit in our work community) and commitment (I want to continue to work at 
Terveystalo). The index is expressed on a scale of 1–5. 
Entity-specific metric - Sickness absence rate
The sickness absence rate is calculated as follows: the number of sickness absence days for the 
reporting period/the average number of employees * the number of working days during the reporting 
period. Sickness absences are reported for Terveystalo’s employees, comprising operations in Finland 
and Sweden. 
Exceptions in the scope of data
The engagement index and sickness absence rate above do not include Medimar Scandinavia Ab 
and the companies acquired during 2024 in Finland (SRK Group Oy, Suomen Radiologikeskus Oy, 
iRad Oy, Kajaanin Radiologikeskus Oy and Cityläkarna Mariehamn Ab), whose personnel are not 
in Terveystalo’s centralised HR system. They represent 102 employees, or approximately 1.1 percent 
of all employees. 
Medimar Scandinavia Ab is also not included in the figures reported on the following pages for the 
employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), the figures related to training and skills development (S-13), or 
the figures related to health and safety (S-14). The companies acquired during 2024 are not included in 
any of the indicators in S1-Own workforce standard. For the Own Workforce standard, the comparative 
figures for the comparison year have not been reported for any of the data points presented on the 
following pages, based on the transitional provision of ESRS-1 10.3 regarding the presentation of 
comparative data.
Sickness absences 
Terveystalo's target is to keep the sickness absence rate 
of its personnel at a low level, i.e. below 4 percent. The 
monitoring and reduction of sickness absences promotes 
the company’s operating capacity and profitability. 
A low sickness absence rate is generally indicative 
of a work community with a high level of health and 
well-being, where employees feel well and are able 
to do their work efficiently. Terveystalo's occupational 
operating practices and supervisory work. The 
engagement index for Terveystalo professionals is 
measured as part of Terveystalo's professional survey. 
The target is for the index to be at least 4 (on a scale 
of 1–5) each year. In Finland, the professional survey is 
aimed at both employees and private practitioners. In 
Sweden, the professional survey is aimed at employees. 
In 2024, the index value was 4.2.

healthcare focuses on maintaining the personnel's work 
ability and the treatment of illnesses, which helps to 
reduce absences and supports the employees' ability to 
cope with the demands of work. In addition, preventive 
measures, such as improvements to ergonomics and 
supporting coping at work, help to reduce long sickness 
absences and prevent problems related to work ability. 
In 2024, the sickness absence rate of the personnel was 
4.0 (4.3) percent.

The number of employees is reported as the 
headcount of persons at the end of the reporting 
period, not as full-time equivalents. The figures also 
include non-active employees, such as those on study 
leave or family leave. The gender breakdown of the 
personnel is presented only as women and men, as 
information on gender is not collected separately. 
Instead, information on gender is generated in the 
HR system based on the personal identity code. 
Consequently, there is no "other" category in the 
gender breakdown. The figures are the headcount of 
persons at the end of the reporting period.
In the breakdown of personnel by country, the 
number of employees in Sweden has been decided 
to be reported separately (even though it is less 
than 10 per cent of the total number of employees) 
as it is considered to be material information. The 
number is reported as the headcount of persons 
at the end of the reporting period. All employees 
are reported for the number of employees by 
contract type. Non-guaranteed hours employees 
include employees on hourly wages and employees 
working under a framework agreement. The 
number of employees for each contract type is 
reported as the number of employees at the end 
of the reporting period. The sum of the numbers 
of employees for the different contract types does 
not correspond to the total number of employees, 
as some employees work under multiple contracts. 
For example, a person may work on hourly wages 
in one of the Group companies and in a permanent 
part-time employment relationship in another. In 
this case, the person counts as a non-guaranteed 
hours employee and a permanent employee.
All employees count towards the rate of 
employee turnover and the total number of 
employees who have left the undertaking. The rate 
of employee turnover and the number of employees 
who have left the undertaking includes all reasons 
for the termination of employment, except transfers 
from one Group company to another. The rate of 
employee turnover is calculated by dividing the 
number of employees who left the undertaking 
during the reporting period by the average number 
of employees. The average number of employees 
is calculated by dividing the number of employees 
on the last day of 2023 and the number of 
employees on the last day of 2024 by two. Under the 
transitional provision, the numbers of full-time and 
part-time employees are not reported.

The reported number of non-employees in the undertaking's own workforce is the number at the end of 
the reporting period. Not all non-employees work full-time. They may also work part-time or individual 
hours. Private practitioners include people who work at Terveystalo as a physician or in another healthcare 
role through their own company. In addition to private practitioners, non-employees in Terveystalo's own 
workforce include, for example, professionals and subcontractors who work through another company. They 
also work in healthcare roles. In addition, Terveystalo has a small number of temporary agency workers in 
more project-based administrative duties, who are not in Terveystalo’s centralised HR system and who are 
not included in the numbers due to their small number.

At the end of 2024, Terveystalo had 5,979 
non-employees in its operations in Finland. Terveystalo 
also operates in Sweden, where Terveystalo’s subsidiary 
Feelgood had 48 private practitioners. In Sweden, the 
number of private practitioners was reduced due to 
terminated customer contracts.

The number of personnel within the scope of collective agreements is calculated by dividing the number 
of employees covered by collective agreements by the total number of employees. These numbers 
of personnel are the numbers of persons at the end of the reporting period. Three different collective 
agreements are in use in Finland: The collective agreement for the private healthcare sector, the collective 
agreement for the private social services sector and the collective agreement for the staffing services sector. 
Directors and senior salaried employees are not within the scope of the collective agreements. They include 
the majority of physicians and psychologists, for example. Two collective agreements are in use in Sweden: 
Healthcare Companies Branch D Occupational Health Services, and Healthcare Companies Branches E and F 
Care and Treatment.

The top management consists of the members of 
the Group's Executive Team, who report to the CEO.
The age distribution of employees takes into 
account employees and their age at the end of the 
reporting period. The percentages are calculated 
by dividing the number of representatives of each 
age group by the total number of employees. The 
figures are the numbers of persons at the end of the 
reporting period.

At Terveystalo, annual development discussions 
are held with all full-time employees to support 
goal-driven and motivated work. Development 
discussions are also held with many part-time 
employees, but a formal discussion that is 
documented in the HR system is not mandatory for 
hourly workers, for example. Only a development 
discussion on which a form is completed in the 
centralised HR system is considered a completed 
development discussion, and the reported figure 
is therefore likely to be lower than the actual 
number of development discussions. Supervisors 
are responsible for conducting development 
discussions. In addition, the implementation and 
number of discussions can be monitored in real 
time via the reporting system. 
In the number of development discussions 
held, development discussions held with persons 
whose employment relationship was valid at the 
end of the reporting period are taken into account. 
The proportion of employees is calculated by 
taking the number of completed development 
discussions by gender and dividing it by number of 
employees (S1-6).
The training hours of employees also include 
part-time employees and hourly employees, for 
example. For full-time employees, the number 
of training hours is significantly higher than the 
average. The number of training hours only includes 
training completions recorded in training systems, 
and since not all training activities were covered by 
the training systems in 2024, the actual number 
of training hours is also likely to be higher than 
the reported figure. In the number of completed 
training hours, only employees whose employment 
relationship was valid at the end of the reporting 
period are taken into account. The average number 
of training hours is obtained by taking the number 
of hours completed, by gender, and dividing it 
by the previously reported numbers of personnel 
(S1-6). The average number of training hours 
includes Terveystalo’s employees, except Medimar 
Scandinavia Ab and the companies acquired during 
2024 in Finland.

The percentage of the undertaking's own 
workforce who are covered by the undertaking’s 
health and safety management system 
corresponds to all persons working for 
Terveystalo, as everyone has the right to a safe 
working environment regardless of the type of 
employment relationship.
The number of fatalities due to work-related 
injuries and work-related ill health includes 
work-related accidents and commuting accidents 
among employees, and occupational diseases 
that meet the criteria laid down in the Workers' 
Compensation Act. The decision on whether the 
criteria are met is made by the accident insurance 
company. The number of fatalities is monitored 
on the basis of statistics reported by the accident 
insurance company.
The number of fatalities due to work-related 
injuries and work-related ill health among workers 
of other undertakings working at Terveystalo's sites 
is determined on the basis of information obtained 
from the employers of the workers in question.
The number of work-related accidents includes 
work-related and commuting accidents among 
employees that meet the criteria for work-related 
and commuting accidents laid down in the Workers' 
Compensation Act, regardless of whether or not 
they result in sickness absence. The decision on 
whether the criteria are met is made by the accident 
insurance company. The number of work-related 
and commuting accidents is monitored using 
statistics provided by the accident insurance 
company. The final number of work-related 
accidents for the reporting year is usually confirmed 
during the first quarter of the following year. 
The calculation of the accident frequency 
includes work-related and commuting accidents 
and occupational diseases that have occurred 
in the work of employees, based on statistics 
provided by insurance companies, as well as the 
actual working hours of the same personnel group 
in accordance with payroll monitoring. 
The number of cases of work-related ill health/
among the company’s employees, i.e. the number 
of occupational diseases, includes cases that meet 
the criteria for occupational diseases laid down in 
the Workers' Compensation Act. The decision on 
whether the criteria are met is made by the accident 
insurance company. The number of occupational 
diseases is monitored on the basis of statistics 
reported by the accident insurance company. 
Under the transitional provision, Terveystalo 
has omitted from the table data points on cases of 
work-related ill health and on number of days lost 
to injuries, accidents, fatalities and work-related ill 
health. The numbers in the table do not include 
private practitioners.

In Terveystalo's professional 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 the employees and private practitioners 
who would recommend Terveystalo as a workplace to 
others. In the 2024 professional survey, the eNPS was 14. 
In 2023 and 2024, Terveystalo streamlined its operating 
model and organisational structure as part of the profit 
improvement programme. These changes affected the 
willingness to recommend the company as a workplace. 
Terveystalo’s strengths include well-functioning 
work communities, effective cooperation and good 
team leadership.

The number of entitled employees that took family-related leave takes into account the Group's 
employees whose employment relationship was valid at the end of the reporting period and who took 
family-related leave during the year. The percentages are calculated by taking the number of these 
persons by gender and dividing it by the previously reported number of employees at the end of the 
reporting period (S1-6).
Entity-specific metric - eNPS
The employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) is based on the question “How likely would you be to 
recommend your workplace (on a scale of 0-10)?”. The respondents can choose an answer between 
0 (very unlikely) and 10 (very likely), and the eNPS is reported as a score between -100 and +100. The 
higher the number, the more likely the employees are to recommend the workplace to others. The 
eNPS is calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of promoters: 
eNPS = (% of promoters) – (% of detractors). The professional survey, which includes the eNPS 
question, is aimed at all of the Group’s employees and private practitioners (excluding private 
practitioners in Rela, Medimar Scandinavia Ab and the companies acquired during 2024 in Finland).

Material impacts, risks and 
opportunities related to 
consumers and end-users
Terveystalo plays a key role in the renewal of healthcare 
in Finland, the prevention of illnesses and the promotion 
of people’s well-being. The company provides private 
healthcare services in Finland and occupational health 
services in Sweden through its subsidiary Feelgood. 
In 2024, Terveystalo had a total of 1.2 (1.2) million 
customers, 7.6 (7.6) million customer visits in Finland, 
and in total more than 1.7 (1.8) million end-customers 
of occupational health services in the Nordic countries. 
Terveystalo’s digital channels have over 2.6 million 
registered users in Finland.
The most significant positive sustainability impact 
of Terveystalo’s operations arises from providing fluent, 
caring and effective integrated care to customers, 
which is also the core of Terveystalo’s business strategy. 
According to Terveystalo's strategy, integrated care 
means that Terveystalo understands customers and their 
needs, prevents and manages health risks, guides the 
customer to the right service and treatment, takes care 
of the patient throughout the care path, cooperates 
as teams of experts, and measures and improves the 
outcomes of care. 
According to Terveystalo's strategy, the integrated 
care model aims for a positive social impact, which can 
be reflected in the effective prevention of illnesses, quick 
access to care, fluent care paths and good outcomes of 
care, among other things. High-quality occupational 
healthcare that is based on integrated care is effective 
when it promotes the health, work ability and well-being 
of employees effectively and with measurable results. 
Effectiveness is reflected in, for example, reduced sickness 
absences, improved work ability and productivity, as 
well as increased well-being at work, which reduces 
early retirement and saves costs for client companies. 
Terveystalo’s digital services speed up access to care and 
smooth integrated care paths ensure effective and timely 
care. Cooperation and partnerships with the public sector 
provide solutions for improving access to care.
Patient safety is the foundation of the quality of care. 
It ensures the safety of care and protects the patient 
from injury. From the patient’s perspective, patient safety 
means that they receive the right treatment at the right 
time and in the right manner. Compromised patient 
safety may cause an adverse event for a customer and, 
in the case of serious adverse events, make the company 
liable for damages. 
Data protection with regard to patient data is an 
important aspect of patient safety. As digital services 
in healthcare increase in importance and reshape the 
industry, the requirements concerning data protection 
and information security increase accordingly. Everyone 
working at Terveystalo and on behalf of Terveystalo must 
ensure the protection of privacy and the realisation of data 
protection in all activities involving the processing of patient 
information. Compromised information security or data 
protection may cause restrictions on operations imposed 
by the public authorities, financial sanctions, claims for 
damages and other financial losses, which would have an 
adverse impact on Terveystalo's financial performance. 
The material impacts, risks and opportunities related 
to consumers and end-users have been identified in 
the company’s double materiality assessment, and 
they are presented in more detail on pages 79–80 of 
the sustainability statement. The material impacts, 
risks and opportunities related to end-users include all 
end-users likely to be subject to material impacts caused 
by Terveystalo’s operations. In the double materiality 
assessment, Terveystalo has not separately formed 
an understanding of how end-users with particular 
characteristics or who use particular services may be at 
greater risk of harm. 
Based on the impacts, risks and opportunities 
identified in the double materiality assessment 
(described on pages 81–82), Terveystalo’s material 
sustainability matters related to consumers and 
end-users are: 
•	
patient data protection and information security 
(adverse impact and risk)
•	
access to care, availability, quality and 
effectiveness of care and the customer experience 
(positive impact). 
Terveystalo's customer groups
Terveystalo provides services to three customer groups: 
corporate customers, consumer customers and public 
sector customers. 
Corporate customers
Corporate customers constitute Terveystalo’s largest 
customer group. Terveystalo provides statutory 
occupational health services and other healthcare and 
well-being services for companies of all sizes. In Finland, 
Terveystalo provides occupational health services to 
over 26,000 companies and organisations that have 
approximately 744,000 employees covered by the 
occupational health services. 
In Sweden, Terveystalo offers occupational health, 
organisational management consulting and addiction 
prevention and rehabilitation services to its corporate 
customers. Terveystalo serves approximately 8,000 
corporate customers in Sweden, which have about one 
million employees covered by occupational health services.
Consumer customers
Consumer customers are Terveystalo’s third-largest 
customer group. Consumer customers are private 
individuals who pay for their services themselves or 
through health insurance. Easy and fast access to 
Terveystalo’s services, a wide range of services, high-
quality and effective care and personalised digital services 
can improve the health and quality of life of customers. 
Public sector customers
Terveystalo’s public sector customer group consists of 
Finnish public sector organisations, such as the wellbeing 
services counties that are responsible for the organisation 
of publicly funded healthcare and social welfare services, 
and occupational health customers in the public sector. 
Terveystalo offers solutions to the public sector in relation 
to personnel shortages in healthcare, improved access 
to care and digital services. The services offered to public 
sector customers include full and partial outsourcing, 
healthcare staffing services, specialised care services, and 
occupational health services.
According to the double materiality assessment, 
the end customers who use Terveystalo’s health services 
may face adverse impacts related to the protection 
of their privacy and personal data if a data protection 
or information security risk were to materialise. 
Terveystalo’s services are not assessed to have any 
adverse impacts on the freedom of expression or 
non-discrimination of end-users. In some situations, 
end-users of the services may be dependent on accurate 
and easily available product and service information, 
such as instructions for seeking treatment, instructions 
for follow-up care, or instructions on the use of a

medicine. Based on the double materiality assessment, 
Terveystalo’s customers are not particularly vulnerable 
to potential negative impacts on health or privacy, nor 
to marketing and sales strategies. Terveystalo’s services 
also do not naturally increase the risk of chronic diseases 
for any customer group. Processes for engaging with 
end-users about impacts are described on page 76. 
Terveystalo’s service offering
In addition to preventive occupational health services, 
Terveystalo offers a wide range of services in primary 
healthcare and specialised care, diagnostics, and day 
surgery, including general practitioner and specialist 
services, imaging and laboratory tests. In addition, the 
company offers demanding surgery, well-being services, 
oral health services, public healthcare outsourcing 
services, healthcare staffing services, rehabilitation 
services and child welfare services.
Terveystalo offers appointments with general 
practitioners and occupational health physicians as well 
as physicians representing different specialties, both 
in person at approximately 360 units across Finland 
and through digital channels in the form of video or 
chat appointments.
Preventive occupational health services include 
workplace surveys to evaluate workplace conditions and 
factors that expose employees to health risks, health 
check-ups, and action proposals for the improvement 
of working conditions and the promotion of the work 
ability of employees. In addition to statutory services, 
Terveystalo provides a comprehensive range of primary 
and specialised healthcare services, diagnostics and well-
being services for corporate customers.
Terveystalo's diagnostics services include laboratory 
services, X-ray, CT, and MRI services, among others. 
Terveystalo's hospital services include, among others, 
general surgery, orthopaedic surgery, and eye surgery. 
Terveystalo offers these services through its network of 
18 hospital units.
Terveystalo's well-being services include 
physiotherapy, psychologist and psychotherapist 
services, nutritional therapy, work ability coaching, 
massage services and vaccination services. 
Policies related to consumers 
and end-users
S4-1
Terveystalo’s policies concerning consumers and 
end-users apply to activities that are under the 
operational control of the company and its subsidiaries. 
In activities in which the company operates at the client's 
premises, using the client's personnel and equipment, 
the client's policies apply.
Quality is managed at all levels and 
implemented in everyone’s work
The goal of Terveystalo's quality efforts is to ensure 
access to services, patient safety, an excellent and 
continuously improving customer experience, the 
realisation of data protection and information security, 
compliance with recommendations and clinical 
practice guidelines, and developing the effectiveness 
of treatment. Terveystalo’s quality is monitored and 
measured at many levels. The results of operations 
are reviewed regularly, and development areas are 
identified and necessary changes made based on them. 
Terveystalo’s quality efforts are based on a quality 
management system that meets the requirements of 
the international ISO 9001 quality management system 
standard. Terveystalo has set goals for its quality efforts 
that exceed the requirements of the standard. Quality 
is managed as part of management structures at all 
organisational levels, from senior management to the 
day-to-day work of teams and individuals. 
Everyone at Terveystalo is responsible for 
implementing and ensuring patient safety and high-
quality care. In addition to the quality management 
system, operations are guided by several other 
requirements and binding obligations, which are 
documented in Terveystalo’s integrated management 
system. The quality management system and the 
integrated management system are tools used by 
everyone at Terveystalo to ensure that their actions 
comply with the applicable requirements and produce 
the desired outcomes. Terveystalo’s policies (self-
assessment plan, operating policy, quality policy, 
internal control and risk management policy, Code of 
Conduct, data protection and information security policy 
and environmental policy) guide operations in addition 
to common processes, guidelines, operational procedure 
rules and standards. Policies and procedures pertaining 
to the data protection of patient data are documented 
in the company's Data Protection Handbook for patient 
care. The Current Care Guidelines and the legislation 
and regulatory obligations applicable to the industry 
and the operations of private service providers, as well 
as customer agreements, are also key requirements 
implemented in operations that Terveystalo complies 
with. The company’s policies are in line with, or exceed, 
the internationally recognised norms related to 
end-users and pertaining to business and human rights, 
such as the UN Guiding Principles. 
In accordance with Terveystalo’s human rights policy, 
the company is committed to respecting human rights in 
accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business 
and Human Rights and the OECD Guidelines for 
Multinational Enterprises. Terveystalo is also committed 
to the international human rights framework (Universal 
Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant 
on Civil and Political Rights and the International 
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) 
and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles 
and Rights at Work (freedom of association, the right 
to collective bargaining, the elimination of all forms 
of forced or compulsory labour, the abolition of child 
labour, the elimination of discrimination in respect of 
employment and occupation, a safe and healthy working 
environment). Should any activities have the potential 
to affect vulnerable groups, Terveystalo also takes into 
account other international norms and principles, such 
as the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
During the reporting period, Terveystalo was not 
made aware of any incidents related to end-users of 
services that involved non-compliance with the UN 
Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the ILO 
Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work 
and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
The following paragraphs describe the key policies 
and procedures that guide operations with regard 
to access to care and the quality and effectiveness of 
care, as well as the customer experience, patient data 
protection and information security. Terveystalo’s Code of 
Conduct and internal control and risk management policy 
are described in section G1 – Business conduct on pages 
123–125 of the sustainability statement.
Self-assessment plan
In Finland, pursuant to the Act on the Supervision of Social 
Welfare and Health Care (741/2023), the service provider 
must supervise the quality and appropriateness of its 
own operations and those of its subcontractors, as well

as customer and patient safety. Service organisers and 
service providers that provide services at more than one 
service unit are required to draw up a self-assessment plan 
in electronic format regarding the tasks and services they 
are responsible for, and publish the self-assessment plan 
in a public information network or in another manner that 
promotes public access to the information in question. 
A service provider's self-assessment plan covers all of 
the service provider's service units. In order to ensure the 
quality, appropriateness and safety of daily operations 
and to monitor the adequacy of the personnel involved in 
customer and patient work, the service provider must draw 
up a self-assessment plan covering all the services provided 
in the service unit by and on behalf of the service provider.
The self-assessment plan must include a description 
of the procedure for reporting and learning of incidents. 
The service provider must draw up the self-assessment 
plan electronically and publish it in a public information 
network or in another manner that promotes public 
access to the self-assessment plan and keep the self-
assessment plan publicly accessible at the service unit. 
Pursuant to the Act on the Supervision of Social 
Welfare and Health Care Services, the implementation of 
the activities described in the service unit’s self-assessment 
plan must be monitored and any deficiencies observed in 
the course of monitoring must be rectified. A report must 
be prepared on the monitoring, and changes implemented 
as a result of the monitoring activities must be published 
at four-month intervals in a public information network 
or in another manner that promotes public access to the 
information in question, and the information must be kept 
publicly accessible at the service unit.
The self-assessment programme and observations 
made on the basis of the monitoring of the 
implementation of the self-assessment programme 
must be published at four-month intervals in a public 
information network or in another manner that 
promotes public access to the information in question.
Terveystalo adheres to a self-assessment plan drawn 
up in accordance with the guidelines of the National 
Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health (Valvira). 
The self-assessment plan is supplemented by operating 
handbooks and process maps with related procedures 
and work instructions. The self-assessment plan defines 
how Terveystalo looks after clinical quality and patient 
safety in its operations. Each site must have defined 
practices for implementing the measures presented in 
the self-assessment plan. 
Terveystalo’s self-assessment plan is drawn up by 
the persons in charge of each function and approved 
by the Chief Medical Officer. The implementation of 
the self-assessment plan is monitored in internal and 
external audits, for example. Terveystalo publishes its 
self-assessment plan and programme on its website. 
The monitoring of the self-assessment plan is reviewed 
quarterly by the Group's Patient Safety Team and any 
changes are reported every four months when the self-
assessment plan is updated.
Operating and quality policy
In all of its activities, Terveystalo is committed to the high 
quality and continuous development of its operations. 
Terveystalo’s quality efforts are guided by Terveystalo’s 
mission, values and strategy. Terveystalo’s strategic 
priorities, harmonised processes and measurability 
help steer operations toward consistent high quality. 
Terveystalo’s quality policy is approved by the Quality 
Steering Group, which is also responsible for monitoring 
its implementation.
Terveystalo’s quality policy serves as the foundation 
for quality targets and the development of processes to 
ensure quality management, and it describes Terveystalo’s 
commitment to high quality standards and the 
continuous improvement of operations. Quality efforts 
support Terveystalo’s mission, values and strategy.
The cornerstones of Terveystalo’s quality 
management system are patient safety and national 
legislation. It comprises clinical, operational and 
experienced quality. Terveystalo measures, monitors and 
manages its quality systematically and in a target-driven 
manner at all levels of the organisation. 
Medical quality and effectiveness are measured 
extensively, and the results are utilised in management 
and development. Patient safety is a key part of medical 
quality. Its realisation is monitored, for example, by the 
number of procedure-specific and clinic-specific post-
surgery infections, reported hazardous incidents, official 
requests for clarification, and the decisions of the Patient 
Insurance Centre. 
The management and development of operational 
quality includes ensuring compliance with operating 
processes and instructions, risk management, the 
implementation of data protection and information 
security, and the promotion of environmental 
responsibility. These targets are achieved through audits 
and self-assessments.
Feedback from customers and professionals is used 
extensively in the management of experienced quality 
and effectiveness. 
In 2024, quality management was streamlined 
and enhanced by harmonising management 
forums and reporting practices and by further 
specifying responsibilities. 
Continuity plan
As a key healthcare provider, Terveystalo plays a 
significant role in access to care at the national level, 
also in exceptional circumstances. The continuity plan 
defines and describes the organisation’s operating 
models for ensuring that Terveystalo’s critical services 
can be produced in exceptional circumstances and 
during disruptions. This, in turn, ensures access to 
medical services and the continuity of business. The 
goals of the continuity plan are to ensure the availability 
of critical services in medical care and customer safety, 
patient safety and occupational safety in exceptional 
circumstances, ensure that the organisation’s core 
functions operate with minimal disruptions, maintain 
the capacity to operate in exceptional circumstances and 
recover quickly from disturbances, prepare for threats 
and disruptions whose management requires close and 
extensive cooperation between various parties, and 
establish a clear picture of the key roles, responsibilities 
and tasks in continuity management, as well as the 
operating guidelines and instructions that ensure 
continuity. Continuity management is based on risk 
assessment and is part of Terveystalo’s management and 
reporting system. The management teams at Terveystalo’s 
various organisational levels are responsible for continuity 
management in accordance with the Group’s guidance.
Data protection and information 
security policies 
The data protection policy sets out the principles, 
obligations, responsibilities, organisation, operating 
practices and monitoring practices that Terveystalo 
observes in the implementation and development of 
data protection. The data protection policy serves as 
the basis for data protection procedures and guidelines, 
and its purpose is to ensure the realisation of the rights 
and freedoms of Terveystalo’s customers, personnel 
and individual stakeholders with regard to personal 
data. The data protection policy sets out the principles 
Terveystalo

Sustainability statement

and methods for ensuring the appropriate processing 
of personal data throughout the life-cycle of personal 
data; these principles and methods guide all activities at 
Terveystalo. It also ensures compliance with legislation 
governing privacy, data protection and other applicable 
special laws. The principles underpinning the policy 
are legal compliance and transparency, purpose 
limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, restriction of 
storage, integrity and confidentiality. All Terveystalo 
personnel must comply with the data protection policy. 
The data protection policy is confirmed by Terveystalo 
Group’s CEO and maintained by Terveystalo's Legal 
Affairs department. The policy is updated as necessary. 
In Sweden, Feelgood has its own data protection 
policy, which sets out the principles, obligations, 
responsibilities, organisation, operating practices and 
monitoring practices that Feelgood observes in the 
implementation and development of data protection. 
In addition to the data protection policy, Terveystalo 
has a comprehensive data protection handbook for 
patient care. Its purpose is to provide guidance on the 
manner and criteria of processing patient data and 
personal data, the circumstances in which data can be 
disclosed, and to which parties data can be disclosed. 
The data protection handbook for patient care is 
intended particularly for use by Terveystalo professionals 
who work with patients. The handbook contains 
instructions on, among other things, the processing of 
patient data, informing patients and patient consent, 
the disclosure of patient data, the data subject's right 
of access, the rectification and erasure of patient record 
entries, log data requests, suspected misuse and data 
protection incidents, and the storage and destruction 
of patient records. The data protection handbook for 
patient care is approved by the Data Protection Officer 
and confirmed by the Chief Administrative Physician.
The objectives, responsibilities, and implementation 
methods of information security at Terveystalo are set 
out in the information security policy. The key objectives 
of the information security policy are the protection of 
personal data that is in Terveystalo’s possession (e.g. 
customer and patient data), as well as material subject to 
intellectual property rights and copyright, and ensuring 
their appropriate processing; compliance with obligations 
stipulated by laws, decrees, norms, official regulations 
and contracts; the identification of threats to Terveystalo’s 
operations and the appropriate management of 
information risks, and ensuring the reliability and cost-
effectiveness of information processing. The information 
security policy is developed according to the observations 
made. The Chief Information Security Officer is in charge 
of the development efforts.
Processes for engaging with 
consumers and end-users 
about impacts 
S4-2
Terveystalo aims to provide an excellent customer 
experience across all of its service channels. Customer 
feedback provides valuable information for the 
development of operations and services, which aims to 
strengthen Terveystalo’s positive impacts on end-users. 
Terveystalo collects customer feedback systematically 
and provides several feedback channels, including the 
Terveystalo app, online forms, feedback forms at clinics, 
and oral and written feedback. 
The customer experience and customer satisfaction 
are measured by means of a continuous Net Promoter 
Score (NPS) survey that is based on random sampling 
and text messages, as well as customer experience 
surveys aimed at corporate customers. The customer 
experience and customer satisfaction are also 
measured on a professional-specific basis after each 
appointment with a physician. The appointment-
specific effectiveness of care is measured by the 
Patient Enablement Instrument (PEI), which measures 
the customer’s perceived ability to cope with their 
illness or health status after the appointment. The 
NPS and the PEI index are key performance indicators 
for which measurable targets have been set. The 
targets are described on pages 120–121, along with 
a more detailed explanation of the NPS and PEI 
calculation principles. 
Terveystalo has a harmonised procedure and 
monitoring practices for processing customer feedback. 
Each clinic has a designated quality and patient safety 
officer who is in charge of processing feedback and 
ensures that feedback is carefully processed. Customers 
are always provided with a response if they request one. 
Customer feedback is regularly monitored and reported 
on, and used in internal and external quality audits to 
assess the measures taken and their impacts. Customer 
feedback is an important tool for developing operations 
and increasing customer satisfaction. The Executive 
Vice Presidents in charge of each business area are 
responsible for ensuring that customer feedback is taken 
into account in the monitoring, implementation and 
development of overall quality in their respective areas.
Terveystalo does not have a separate customer 
feedback process with regard to data protection or 
information security, but the end-user can provide 
feedback in the same way as for other services. Incident 
reports can be made regarding information security 
and data protection.
Processes to remediate negative 
impacts and channels for 
consumers and end-users to 
raise concerns 
S4-3 
Terveystalo’s customers have access to several channels 
to raise concerns and report any deficiencies or adverse 
incidents related to the care or service they have 
received. A brief description of these channels and the 
processes for handling feedback or reports received 
through them is provided below. 
Incident report
All Terveystalo employees have an obligation to submit 
an incident report if they observe an issue that jeopardises 
patient safety, customer safety or data protection. 
Incidents are classified as either near misses or hazardous 
incidents depending on the nature of the incident. In 
a near miss, an incident that jeopardises patient safety, 
customer safety or data protection nearly occurred, but 
the adverse incident was avoided either by chance or 
because the observed hazard was addressed. For example, 
if a patient was about to be given the wrong dose of 
medication but this was prevented by double-checking, 
the incident would be classified as a near miss. 
A hazardous incident means that an incident that 
jeopardises a patient’s safety or data protection actually 
took place, such as when a patient is given the wrong 
dose of medication or a patient's sensitive information 
is disclosed to third parties. The notification is made by 
Terveystalo’s personnel using an electronic form. The 
patient, customer, relative or a family member, can also 
submit an incident report using the dedicated form 
available on Terveystalo’s website.

Sustainability statement

In the incident processing procedure, an e-mail alert 
is sent for each incident report to the clinic’s quality and 
patient safety officer, the feedback and incident handlers 
and the physician in charge of the clinic. The quality 
and patient safety officer and the feedback and incident 
handler are responsible for initiating the processing of 
the incident and coordinating the processing with the 
persons in charge of different functions. The physician 
in charge of the clinic is responsible for the medical 
assessment of the incident. The quality and patient 
safety officer and the feedback and incident handler 
ensure that a root cause analysis is carried out and 
corrective measures are taken. In 2024, the proportion of 
near-miss reports at Terveystalo was 54.1 (54.3) percent 
of incidents.
Patient ombudsperson
In healthcare and social services, patient ombudspersons 
and social services ombudspersons are appointed 
to ensure the rights and legal protection of patients 
and the clients of social services (Act on Patient 
Ombudspersons and Social Services Ombudspersons 
739/2023). The legislation applies to the wellbeing 
services counties and the City of Helsinki and HUS 
Group. The wellbeing services counties and the City 
of Helsinki are responsible for patient ombudsperson 
and social services ombudsperson activities also when 
it comes to private service providers. If necessary, 
Terveystalo's customers can contact the patient 
ombudsperson of their wellbeing services county or the 
City of Helsinki for help or advice.
Objections in healthcare
A patient who is not satisfied with the healthcare or 
medical care or the related treatment received by him/
her has the right to file an objection on the matter to 
the director responsible for healthcare in the healthcare 
unit in question (Act on the Status and Rights of Patients, 
Patient Act, 1992/785, section 10). If the patient is unable 
to file an objection themselves due to illness, incapacity 
or similar reason, or if they are deceased, the objection 
may also be filed by their legitimate representative, 
family member or other related party. The operational 
unit must adequately inform its patients of the right to 
object, and make it as convenient as possible for patients 
to file an objection. As a rule, objections should be filed 
in writing. However, an objection can also be submitted 
orally if there is a special reason for it. The operational unit 
must process the objection appropriately and provide 
a written response within a reasonable period of time 
after the objection has been filed. The response must be 
justified in the manner required by the nature of the case.
The response to an objection cannot be appealed. Filing 
an objection does not restrict the patient’s right to file a 
complaint about their care, or treatment related to their 
care, with the supervisory authorities for healthcare.
Complaints in healthcare
Anyone who is dissatisfied with their care, treatment or 
related procedures may file a complaint in accordance 
with Chapter 8a of the Administrative Procedure Act. 
Filing an objection does not prevent a person from filing 
a complaint. As a rule, complaints are filed with the 
Regional State Administrative Agency (AVI). Complaints 
can be filed with the National Supervisory Authority for 
Welfare and Health (Valvira) only in special circumstances.
Notice of injury
The patient has the right to file a notice of injury with 
the Patient Insurance Centre (PIC) if there is a suspicion 
of patient injury or medical malpractice. In that case, 
the issue is investigated and resolved by the PIC. 
The patient ombudsperson for the wellbeing services 
county provides advice on filing a notice of injury. 
In 2024, Terveystalo's ratio of compensated patient 
injuries to the total number of appointments was 
0.0005 (0.0016) percent.
Calculation principles
Near misses/hazardous incidents
The purpose of the metric is to improve patient safety. The ratio of near misses to hazardous incidents 
indicates how well Terveystalo anticipates potential risks. The factors leading to the near miss are identified 
through root cause analysis and decisions are made on measures to prevent hazardous incidents. The figure 
includes all appointments in Terveystalo's Finnish operations, excluding staffing services, outsourcing, child 
welfare services and massage services. The figure does not include data protection incidents.
Reimbursed patient claims/all appointments 
The ratio of reimbursed patient claims to the number of appointments with a physician describes the 
proportion of appointments that result in reimbursed patient claims. Notices of injury reported in the 
indicator are expressed relative to the number of appointments in the year the report is received. The figure 
includes all appointments in Terveystalo's Finnish operations, excluding staffing services, outsourcing, child 
welfare services and massage services. When interpreting the indicator, it should be noted that the figures 
change as the Patient Insurance Centre issues decisions on cases and Terveystalo is informed of the decisions. 
The Patient Insurance Centre takes eight months on average to process notices of injury. 
Whistleblowing channel
Consumers and end-users can report ethics-related 
shortcomings or legal violations via Terveystalo’s 
whistleblowing channel (WhistleB). The whistleblowing 
channel and the processing of whistleblower reports 
are described in more detail in section G1 – Business 
conduct on page 126–127 of the sustainability statement.

Taking action on material impacts 
on consumers and end-users, 
and approaches to managing 
material risks and pursuing 
material opportunities related to 
consumers and end-users, and 
effectiveness of those actions
S4-4
The most significant positive sustainability impact of 
Terveystalo’s operations arises from providing fluent, 
caring and effective integrated care to customers, which 
is also the core of Terveystalo’s business strategy. 
The goal of Terveystalo’s integrated care model is 
to seamlessly combine the different stages of care and 
create positive impacts on different customer groups. For 
the consumer customer, value is created by quick access 
to appropriate care, continuous support throughout the 
care path, and the best possible outcomes of care. For 
companies, value is created by reducing sickness absences 
and related costs through effective preventive measures 
and care paths. For insurance companies, value is created 
by efficient care paths that speed up recovery and thus 
reduce the total costs of the insurance event. For the 
public sector, value is created by cost-effective and high-
quality partnership models for addressing bottlenecks in 
the healthcare system. Terveystalo evaluates the success 
of its care models from many different perspectives, 
including the experiences of patients and diagnosis-
specific effectiveness indicators. In addition, quick access 
to care and an excellent customer experience are key 
quality criteria. Terveystalo continuously develops its 
services across the entire care path, including prevention, 
assessment of the need for care, appointments, 
diagnostics, day surgery and rehabilitation.
The medical strategy for healthcare services, 
which supports the Group’s business strategy and its 
implementation, sets out the most important measures 
and initiatives aimed at improving access to care and 
the quality and effectiveness of care, as well as the 
customer experience. Measures have been defined for 
all stages of the care path, and their implementation is 
monitored with the help of targets and indicators. In the 
Portfolio Businesses segment, the key focus area is the 
development of cooperation with Finland’s wellbeing 
services counties, which are primarily responsible for 
organising public healthcare and social welfare services.
The following paragraphs describe the most 
significant planned measures, as well as the measures 
initiated or implemented in 2024, to promote positive 
impacts on Terveystalo’s customers. 
Integrating blood analysis technology 
into occupational health to improve 
the prevention of illnesses 
From the beginning of 2024, Terveystalo’s occupational 
health customers in Finland gained access to Nightingale 
Health blood analyses as part of occupational health 
check-ups. The technology helps detect the risk of 
the most common chronic diseases, and Terveystalo's 
occupational health services can use it to help 
prevent diseases. Terveystalo looks after the health 
of approximately 730,000 Finns of working age and 
offers more and more people a view of their personal 
susceptibility to common chronic diseases and support 
for lifestyle changes. 
Common chronic diseases reduce work ability and 
require continuous monitoring, but many of them are 
preventable. By the end of 2024, approximately 115,000 
of Terveystalo's individual occupational healthcare 
customers had received a risk report based on a blood 
analysis. In 2025, the aim is to particularly develop 
various interventions, such as digital lifestyle coaching, 
in order to reduce the risks of illness detected among 
customers. Monitoring will be used to ensure that the 
interventions actually reduce these risks. 
Treatment model for chronic diseases 
promotes the health and well-being of 
occupational health customers
In 2024, Terveystalo introduced a treatment model for 
chronic diseases for its occupational health customers 
in Finland. In the treatment model, the customer’s 
individual situation regarding the need for treatment 
of a long-term illness is assessed automatically and the 
customer is contacted if, based on the assessment, the 
treatment of the illness at Terveystalo does not appear to 
be implemented in accordance with the national Current 
Care Guidelines. Medical criteria have been applied to 
select the diseases covered by the treatment model. It 
covers chronic illnesses that are common among people 
of working age and which, when the balance of care is 
poor, cause the most health problems, affect coping 
and reduce work ability. The medical conditions covered 
by the model are type 2 diabetes, hypertension and 
high cholesterol. The treatment model aims to ensure 
that monitoring is carried out in the optimal manner 
and the progression of the disease and any resulting 
complications and work ability-related challenges are 
prevented. The plan for 2025 is to expand the model 
to include other chronic diseases and develop the 
automation of treatment plans. 
Symptom Assessment tool facilitates 
access to care and smoother workflows 
for healthcare professionals
In autumn 2023, Terveystalo’s occupational health 
customers in Finland were given access to the Symptom 
Assessment tool, a CE-marked medical device that 
makes the use of occupational health services smoother 
in the event of illness. The tool refers customers to the 
appropriate specialist and the right service channel in a 
timely manner. In 2024, the customer guidance model 
was further developed based on customer feedback in 
order to improve the service so that it meets the needs 
of customers and professionals even better. When an 
occupational health customer uses Terveystalo’s digital 
service channels, they are requested to describe their 
symptoms. The Symptom Assessment tool analyses the 
customer's responses and determines the urgency of the 
case. Based on this assessment, the customer is referred 
to the appropriate service channel and specialist. The 
results of the analysis are forwarded to the receiving 
specialist in advance, which speeds up the treatment 
process and makes the service smoother and more 
streamlined. The Symptom Assessment tool reduces the 
need for the customer to make their own assessments 
of whom to turn to. For example, a customer with 
musculoskeletal symptoms can be referred directly to 
an appointment with a physiotherapist instead of a 
physician. The system also distinguishes between cases 
in which care can be provided remotely and cases that 
require an in-person appointment. The effectiveness and 
benefits of the Symptom Assessment tool are assessed 
by customer feedback, among other things; customers 
have given an average score of 4/5 for the ease of use of 
the tool.

Terveystalo’s care paths support self-
care and improve the efficiency of 
healthcare operations 
Since 2021, Terveystalo has developed care paths based 
on the Current Care Guidelines and other generally 
accepted clinical practice guidelines. The aim of care 
paths is to ensure the consistency and effectiveness 
of care, support the work of healthcare professionals, 
promote the health of customers and ensure the 
implementation of diagnostics and monitoring. 
Care paths serve as a tool for healthcare 
professionals. The patient information system provides 
them with alerts on treatment recommendations and 
follow-up measures based on the working diagnosis. 
They include suggested diagnostics, such as laboratory 
and imaging tests, and situations in which a specialist 
consultation or therapies such as brief psychotherapy or 
physiotherapy are recommended. The care paths also 
help the customer by providing clear instructions in the 
Terveystalo app on preparing for examinations, self-care 
and, if necessary, starting therapies. For the customer, 
the care paths enable clearer and smoother care and 
a better understanding of the course of care. For 
healthcare professionals, they provide tools that make 
their work easier, reduce the administrative burden and 
support decision-making. 
Approximately 80 care paths were in use at the 
end of 2024. They included care paths related to 
the treatment of lower back pain, depression and 
anxiety, insomnia and paediatric lower respiratory tract 
infections, for example. The aim is to further develop 
the care paths in 2025 by, for example, automating the 
monitoring of the effectiveness of care and visualising 
the care process. 
Developing patient safety culture as 
part of high-quality and safe care 
At Terveystalo, the development of patient safety is a key 
part of the quality of care and sustainable operations. 
Patient safety culture constitutes the foundation of these 
efforts. Its aim is to create an open and trust-based 
atmosphere in which employees can raise concerns and 
report incidents without fear of sanctions or blame. 
The systematic processing of concerns and incidents 
ensures that similar situations can be prevented in the 
future. The maintenance and development of patient 
safety culture is supported in various ways, including 
a mandatory online course on patient and customer 
safety. The course is included in orientation training for 
new employees and completing the course is mandatory 
for all employees in care work and personnel whose 
roles include responsibility for patient safety. 
The development of patient safety is supported by 
a regular customer and patient safety culture survey, 
which provides valuable information on the current state 
of operations and areas requiring further development. 
The most recent survey was carried out in 2023. It was 
responded to by 1,293 professionals working with patients, 
12 percent of whom were physicians. The results showed 
that Terveystalo’s patient safety culture is widely held 
in high regard. Awareness of incident reporting and 
notification systems had improved when compared to the 
previous years, and patient safety competence was rated 
as high. The results of the 2023 survey were thoroughly 
analysed by the Patient Safety Working Group, on the basis 
of which development areas were identified as priorities for 
the next two-year period. The impacts of the development 
measures will be assessed in the 2025 customer and patient 
safety culture survey, the results of which will again guide 
Terveystalo's strategic development efforts. 
Health partnership and digital 
services support the transformation of 
wellbeing services counties
The Portfolio Businesses segment strengthens its 
connections to Finland’s wellbeing services counties 
through the new Health Partner organisation. Finland 
is divided into 21 wellbeing services counties and 
the City of Helsinki and HUS Group, which is the 
specialised healthcare provider in the Uusimaa region. 
The wellbeing services counties and the City of 
Helsinki and HUS Group are responsible for organising 
public healthcare and social welfare services. The 
wellbeing services counties started their operations 
at the beginning of 2023, but the building of their 
organisations and financial challenges have limited 
the opportunities for developing long-term strategic 
solutions and cooperation with private service providers. 
Terveystalo established the Health Partner organisation 
in autumn 2024 to focus on identifying and responding 
to the individual challenges of the wellbeing services 
counties. Health partnership includes staffing services, 
digital solutions for public services, rehabilitation, 
child welfare services and public partnerships, i.e. 
outsourcing. Of these, Terveystalo focuses particularly 
on three areas: digital services, ensuring the availability 
of personnel through staffing services and ensuring 
the availability of services by offering Terveystalo's 
service production capacity to the wellbeing services 
counties. Through more in-depth knowledge of their 
respective regions, Terveystalo also aims to develop new 
services that correspond to the needs of the wellbeing 
services counties. 
The Finnish healthcare and social service system 
is facing major challenges: the population is ageing, 
the need for services is growing, and resources – both 
human and financial – are limited. The production 
of services must be even more efficient than before, 
and digitalisation is one of the key solutions to these 
challenges. Terveystalo’s digital platform enables 
professionals to make more efficient use of their time, 
which creates cost savings for the wellbeing services 
counties. Automation supports the continuity of care, 
increases efficiency, improves quality and enhances 
patient safety. Using a single integrated electronic 
service platform instead of multiple individual systems 
makes the use of services easier and clearer for patients. 
Terveystalo’s digital platform is already in use in 
four wellbeing services counties: Southwest Finland, 
Satakunta, South Ostrobothnia and Lapland.

The parties responsible for the implementation and 
management of data protection are Group management, 
the directors responsible for specific functions, and unit 
directors in their respective areas of responsibility. As 
required by law, Terveystalo Group has a Data Protection 
Officer who performs duties in accordance with the 
General Data Protection Regulation and is responsible 
for statutory reporting directly to Group management. 
Terveystalo has data protection teams that discuss and 
monitor issues related to data protection and develop 
related functions and activities. The Data Protection 
Officer reports on data protection to the supervisor on 
a weekly basis and to Terveystalo’s Data Protection Team 
on a quarterly basis. Under the General Data Protection 
Regulation, the data protection requirements in Sweden 
are the same as in Finland, but the local legislation 
governing healthcare and social services in Sweden 
differs from Finland in certain respects. For this reason, 
in Sweden, Feelgood has its own data protection policy, 
which sets out the principles, obligations, responsibilities, 
organisation, operating practices and monitoring 
practices that Feelgood observes in the implementation 
and development of data protection. Feelgood has 
appointed its own Data Protection Officer to monitor 
compliance with data protection legislation at Feelgood. 
Information security is an integral part of securing and 
developing Terveystalo’s operations as a whole. Everyone 
working at Terveystalo, or for Terveystalo, is responsible 
for ensuring information security at work. In addition to 
complying with any received instructions, everyone is also 
responsible for helping others to use working practices that 
ensure information security. The unit director is responsible 
for ensuring that each employee and private practitioner 
working at the unit is capable of taking information security 
into account at work and for ensuring that any observed 
deficiencies are rectified. The Chief Financial Officer is in 
charge of the management and development of information 
security. The Chief Information Security Officer appointed 
by the Chief Financial Officer is in charge of day-to-day 
information security management. The duties of the Chief 
Information Security Officer include the promotion of 
projects related to information security, the development of 
guidelines, advice and training, the specification of technical 
information security requirements, monitoring and reporting 
on the information security situation, and processing 
information security deviations in cooperation with the Data 
Protection Officer, the Group’s general administration and 
the business areas. The Chief Information Security Officer 
reports to the Executive Team member responsible for 
information security and digital services.
Data protection is closely linked to information 
security, and the realisation of data protection is 
contingent on information security measures. At 
Terveystalo, patient data is stored in information security 
certified patient information systems. Terveystalo’s 
patient information systems in Finland are category A 
systems in accordance with the regulations issued by 
the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, and they 
have undergone information security certification in 
accordance with the regulations related to the provision 
of Kanta services. Terveystalo currently has category 
A1 certified products without a Kanta interface. In 
addition, Terveystalo uses category A3 certified patient 
information systems from external suppliers that are 
connected to the Kanta system. Terveystalo’s data 
protection and information security is regularly audited 
in accordance with the ISO 9001:2015 certified quality 
management system, both internally and by an external 
party. In Sweden, Feelgood uses a patient information 
system that is a national medical information system 
registered by the Swedish Medical Products Agency. 
Feelgood's data protection and information security is 
regularly audited in accordance with the ISO 27001:2013 
certified information security management system, both 
internally and by an external party.
Terveystalo ensures the realisation of the legal rights 
of data subjects by informing the data subjects about the 
processing of personal data and by specifying operating 
models and instructions for the situations in which the 
data subjects wish to exercise the aforementioned rights. 
A legally compliant data protection notice and other 
documentation required by legislation or the authorities 
are prepared on the processing of personal data. As 
a rule, data subjects are informed of the processing 
of personal data in connection with the collection of 
personal data. Data subjects can read the data protection 
notice on the controllers’ websites and operating 
locations. Other additional information on the processing 
of personal data is available on the company’s website or 
in the service in question.
Terveystalo applies the appropriate physical, 
technical and administrative protection measures to 
protect data from misuse. These measures include, 
for example, control and filtering of network traffic, 
use of encryption techniques and secure data centres, 
appropriate access control, controlled granting of access 
rights and supervising their use, issuing instructions to 
and training personnel participating in personal data 
processing, and risk management related to the planning, 
implementation and maintenance of services. Terveystalo 
chooses its subcontractors carefully and uses agreements 
and other arrangements, such as written instructions, to 
ensure that they process data in compliance with the law 
and good data protection practices.
The Chief Information Security Officer is authorised 
and obligated to conduct assessments and audits related 
to information security. The Chief Information Security 
Officer is responsible for taking action to eliminate any 
identified information security threats and deviations, and 
reporting them to the authorities if necessary. Corrective 
actions are assessed on a risk basis and they include both 
technical and administrative measures. These measures 
include, for example, updating information security 
practices, increasing the organisation’s information 
security awareness, strengthening technological solutions 
and continuous risk management. Everyone working 
at Terveystalo has an obligation to report any observed 
information security deficiencies and problems to the 
information security organisation.
Terveystalo provides its personnel with training 
and instructions on the processing of personal data and 
emphasises the particular confidentiality and protection 
of patient data. An updated mandatory data protection 
course intended for everyone at Terveystalo was 
introduced in autumn 2023. In connection with this, the 
course content was revised and moved to a new online 
platform to improve the user experience. In 2024, a new 
online course was introduced for professionals whose 
work involves the disclosure of patient data. The purpose 
of the course is to provide training to Terveystalo 
professionals who disclose patient data on the rules 
and instructions concerning the disclosure of patient 
data. In addition to launching the new online course, 
Terveystalo organised four support workshops related to 
the disclosure of patient data during the year.
Targets related to promoting 
material positive impacts 
on end-users
S4-5
Terveystalo has defined three key targets that promote 
Terveystalo’s positive impacts on end-users, namely 
access to care, the quality of care, the effectiveness of 
Terveystalo

care and the customer experience. Two of the targets 
– the NPS for appointments and the referral rate for 
brief mental health psychotherapy – are targets that 
are also incorporated into the sustainability-linked 
financing framework published in 2023. Customers 
or their representatives have not been engaged in 
the process of setting the targets described below. 
The targets have been set by the Executive Team as 
part of the annual strategy process and approved by 
the company’s Board of Directors. The indicators used 
are indirect indicators that include several material 
sustainability matters. Indirect indicators are used to 
ensure the broadest possible coverage. The actual 
figures that reflect the achievement of the targets have 
only been verified by the primary provider of third-party 
assurance. Terveystalo has not set a target related to the 
management of data protection and information security 
risks for publication in the sustainability statement.
Effective treatment for 
mental health problems
Mental health problems are among the three most 
common diagnosis categories at Terveystalo, and they 
are a significant cause of human suffering and related 
sickness absences and early retirement in Finland. The 
implementation of correct and effective treatment for 
mental health problems is one of the focus areas of 
Terveystalo’s medical strategy. Patients receiving brief 
psychotherapy treatment have been found to recover 
faster than those given only sickness absence and/
or medication. Those who receive brief psychotherapy 
treatment also have fewer sick days. Terveystalo’s aim is 
to increase the use of brief psychotherapy in occupational 
healthcare in the treatment of people diagnosed with 
depression or anxiety disorders. When more and more 
people receive care at an early stage, resources are 
freed up for long-term rehabilitative psychotherapy for 
those who need it due to the severity of their condition. 
Terveystalo has systematically developed mental health 
care paths and increased the proportion of patients 
referred to brief psychotherapy. 
Terveystalo’s target is to increase the proportion of 
people diagnosed with depression or anxiety disorders 
who receive a referral to brief psychotherapy in 
occupational healthcare to 25 percent by 2026.
This is an ambitious target, as the number of people 
suffering from depression or anxiety increases every 
year. Reaching the target will require the continued 
development of processes and the training and 
recruitment of professionals, among other measures. 
Terveystalo’s Fokus Mieli special unit monitors 
progress towards the target and supports its 
achievement by means of training and communications. 
Terveystalo’s Fokus Mieli special unit provides specialist 
services in the fields of psychology, neuropsychology, 
psychiatry, psychotherapy, substance abuse medicine 
and sex therapy. The unit assesses, supports and 
manages mental health by providing services to 
occupational health, organisations, communities 
and private customers regardless of age, also via 
remote channels. 
In 2023, Terveystalo deployed a reporting tool that 
the physicians in charge of each Terveystalo unit can use 
to examine the progress towards the target in their area 
of responsibility and compare the results with those of 
similar units. 
In 2024, the proportion of occupational health 
patients referred to brief psychotherapy was 14.8 (10.8) 
percent of all occupational health patients diagnosed 
with anxiety or depression. The result for 2024 was in 
line with the target. 
Excellent customer experience
Terveystalo strives to stand out by offering fluent and 
effective healthcare services that convey a feeling of 
caring to the customer. NPS (Net Promoter Score) is 
Terveystalo’s most important indicator of the quality of 
the customer experience. Terveystalo develops its services 
by listening to its customers, streamlining processes from 
both the customer’s and the professional’s perspective, 
and by utilising new technology. The Net Promoter Score 
(NPS) measures the individual customer’s experience of 
the service they receive. NPS is closely linked to customer 
loyalty: a satisfied customer is less likely to switch to 
a competitor and is more committed to the company 
they use and the services it offers. NPS expresses the 
willingness to recommend, i.e. how likely the customers 
are to recommend Terveystalo’s services to others. NPS 
is a sensitive indicator – it reacts quickly to patient 
satisfaction or dissatisfaction. The customer experience 
can be influenced, for example, by the availability of 
appointments, the perceived quality of care, interaction 
with a professional or other personnel, or the feeling of 
being heard. 
Terveystalo’s NPS target is 83 for appointments and 
95 for hospitals. In 2024, the NPS for appointments was 
87.7 (84.8) and the NPS for hospitals was 96.2 (94.5), 
which were in line with the targets. 
Effective care at every appointment 
Terveystalo aims to provide its patients with the most 
effective care. The company measures the appointment-
specific effectiveness of care with the Patient Enablement 
Instrument (PEI). PEI measures the customer’s perception 
of coping with their illness or condition after an 
appointment, i.e. whether the customer feels that 
they are able to cope with their symptom or illness 
much better, better, same as before, or worse after the 
appointment (on a scale of 1–4). PEI is commonly used in 
Finnish primary healthcare.
Terveystalo’s target for the PEI index is at least 71 
percent. In 2024, the PEI index was 69 (66) percent. In 
other words, approximately 69 percent of Terveystalo’s 
customers felt that they are able to cope better or much 
better with their illness after the appointment. 
Other indicators of 
the quality of care
In addition to the aforementioned targets and key 
performance indicators, Terveystalo monitors its clinical, 
experience-based and process results extensively. 
Terveystalo publishes its continuously updated quality 
indicators on its website. The achievement of the quality 
targets is monitored by Terveystalo’s Quality Steering 
Group on a quarterly basis. The actual figures for the 
indicators have been verified only by the company’s 
assurance service provider.
Availability of care as measured 
by T3 (the third available 
appointment), clinics
Terveystalo aims to continuously improve access to care, 
for example by developing digital services and making the 
work of healthcare professionals more streamlined. The 
availability of care is measured by the T3 indicator, which 
is the number of days until the third available non-urgent 
appointment at the clinics of the Healthcare Services 
business area. In 2024 the T3 indicator for appointments 
with a physician was 1.2 (1.7). Access to care is improved by 
the availability of 24/7 digital appointments with a general 
practitioner, which are offered in addition to in-person 
appointments. The waiting time for digital appointments 
is measured in seconds on average.

Basis of preparation of the indicators
The share of occupational healthcare 
patients diagnosed with anxiety or 
depression and who are referred to 
brief psychotherapy
The indicator is calculated by dividing the number of 
occupational healthcare patients with a diagnosis of 
depression or anxiety and who are referred to brief 
psychotherapy by the total number of occupational 
healthcare patients with a diagnosis of depression 
or anxiety. Occupational healthcare patients are in 
Finland, Sweden is not included in the figure. 
There was an error in the 2023 figure given for the 
referral rate for brief mental health psychotherapy (12.6 
percent) in the 2023 sustainability report. The figure was 
restated in the 2023 status report on the sustainability-
linked bond. In 2023, the proportion of occupational 
healthcare patients referred to brief psychotherapy of 
all occupational healthcare patients diagnosed with 
anxiety or depression was 10.8 percent, not 12.6 percent. 
Sustainability reporting on the year 2023 was voluntary 
and not aligned with the ESRS standards.
NPS (Net Promoter Score)
The NPS for appointments measures the individual 
patient's experience of the service received shortly 
after the service experience. The patient is asked 
to assess how likely (on a scale of 0–10) they are to 
recommend Terveystalo’s services. The Net Promoter 
Score is calculated by subtracting the share of those 
who gave a score of 0–6 (detractors) from the share 
of those gave a score of 9–10 (promoters). The NPS 
for appointments includes customers who have had 
an in-person appointment with Healthcare Services 
in Finland. The NPS is measured by means of a survey 
sent by text message in cooperation with Confidently. 
The text messages are sent to customers, based on 
random sampling, four hours after the appointment 
(or the next day if the appointment is in the evening). 
The condition is that the same customer must not 
have been sent the survey within the previous 30 
days. The NPS survey for hospital services is sent after 
each visit if the customer has not received the survey 
within the previous 30 days.
The NPS for hospitals includes customers who 
have visited the hospitals of Healthcare Services. The 
Group's services in Sweden are not included in these 
NPS measurements. The reported NPS figures are 
based on actual results from the 90 days preceding 
the end of the reporting period. 
PEI index (Patient 
Enablement Instrument)
The PEI index is used to measure the customer's 
perceived ability to cope with their symptom or illness 
after an in-person appointment. The scale is 1–4. The 
customer is asked to assess whether they are able to 
cope with their symptom or illness much better (4), 
better (3), same as before (2), or much worse (1) after 
the appointment. The PEI index is calculated by taking 
the percentage of patients who felt they are able to 
cope with their health condition better or much better 
and comparing it to the total number of respondents. 
The PEI index includes customers who have had 
an appointment with a physician in Terveystalo's 
Healthcare Services segment. The customers of the 
Portfolio Businesses segment are not included in the 
PEI measurement. The Group's services in Sweden are 
also excluded from PEI measurements.

The Code of Conduct translates Terveystalo’s values 
into concrete principles that constitute the foundation

making. Ethics, responsibility and compliance are 
essential in Terveystalo’s operations, also due to the

Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant 
on Civil and Political Rights and the International 
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights) 
and the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles 
and Rights at Work (freedom of association, the right 
to collective bargaining, the elimination of all forms 
of forced or compulsory labour, the abolition of child 
labour, the elimination of discrimination in respect of 
employment and occupation, a safe and healthy working 
environment). Should any activities have the potential 
to affect vulnerable groups, Terveystalo also takes into 
account other international norms and principles, such 
as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 
The human rights policy describes the company’s 
most significant human rights risks and impacts, the 
processes for managing, mitigating and eliminating the 
most significant risks, and whistleblowing mechanisms. 
The human rights impact assessment carried out in 
late 2024 constitutes the basis for the policy, and will 
be taken into account as part of the update of the 
double materiality assessment in 2025. The process 
for managing, mitigating and eliminating the most 
significant risks will be further developed in 2025, 
particularly with regard to the supply chain. Terveystalo’s 
human rights policy is approved by Terveystalo's Board 
of Directors. Terveystalo’s Executive Team is responsible 
for ensuring that the principles set out in the policy 
are taken into account in the Group’s strategy and 
day-to-day operations.
Policies related to the payment of taxes
Terveystalo’s tax position is guided by Terveystalo's tax 
policy, which covers the group-level guideline, and is a 
publicly available document. Terveystalo's tax policy is 
revised regularly. The responsibility for keeping the tax 
policy adequate and updated lies with Terveystalo's tax 
team within the finance unit. Changes to Terveystalo's 
tax policy are approved by Terveystalo's CEO. The tax 
policy is based on Terveystalo's strategy and values, 
according to which the company aims to be the leader 
and policy maker in its industry. Further, Terveystalo’s 
intention is to positively impact society. Matters 
related to taxation always have business reasons at 
Terveystalo – taxation does not drive the conduct of 
business abroad.
In accordance with Terveystalo’s policies related to 
the payment of taxes, the company pays, collects, remits 
and reports its indirect and direct taxes in full at the 
right time and place, i.e. where the economic activity, 
value-added and work generating the profit actually 
take place. This means that Terveystalo, as a Group, 
pays the majority of its taxes to Finland, which is where 
most of its operations take place. In addition, taxes 
were paid in 2024 to Sweden for the Feelgood business 
and to Estonia for the operations of Terveystalo Estonia 
Oü. Terveystalo’s responsible tax policy ensures that 
the company’s financial profit is divided fairly between 
its key stakeholders, namely customers, shareholders, 
municipalities, and the state. Tax revenue, in turn, 
is used to finance public services and investments 
that support the state’s capabilities, sustainability, 
and responsiveness. 
Terveystalo publishes its tax footprint annually. The 
tax footprint describes the total sum and distribution of 
taxes and tax-like charges paid to society. Terveystalo’s 
direct taxes include corporate income tax, transfer tax 
and real estate tax, and the company’s indirect taxes 
include value added tax, for example. Terveystalo’s 
income taxes are reported on a cash basis, which is why 
the amount of corporate income tax varies between 
financial periods. The amount of corporate income 
tax depends on the taxable profit of the separate 
companies, and the taxable profit is affected by the 
Group companies’ business operations and changes 
during the financial period. In accordance with the Tax 
Accounting Act, a share of the corporate income tax 
Terveystalo pays is distributed to the municipalities 
where Terveystalo’s employees have worked, based 
on the number of employees. This means that all of 
Terveystalo’s clinics and outsourcing operations accrue 
tax revenue for the municipality they operate in. 
As a basic rule, private healthcare companies are not 
eligible to deduct value added tax on purchases, which 
means that VAT is a substantial factor for companies. 
Indeed, the proportion of value added tax that is not 
deducted increases Terveystalo’s tax footprint. The 
healthcare services sold by a private service provider are 
tax-free for customers. As in previous years, Terveystalo’s 
tax footprint reporting describes the share of VAT that 
is recognised as an expense for Terveystalo Group. 
However, some services – such as cosmetic surgery – 
may not be exempted from VAT for the customer, which 
means Terveystalo collects and remits VAT. Starting 
from the financial period 2022, Terveystalo has added 
its net remitted VAT to its tax footprint. This consists 
of the VAT remitted to the Finnish Tax Administration 
for Terveystalo’s services subject to VAT. The amount 
Terveystalo

of net remitted VAT depends on the extent of business 
operations subject to VAT, which varies from one 
financial period to the next. Period-specific fluctuations 
in volume are reflected in period-specific differences in 
the amount of net remitted VAT.
Terveystalo's corporate culture
Terveystalo’s mission is to fight for a healthier life by 
focusing on the meaningful matters. Terveystalo aims 
to always offer fluent, caring and effective integrated 
care to its customers. The cornerstones of Terveystalo’s 
strategy are:
•	
Understanding customers and their needs.
•	
Preventing and managing health risks.
•	
Referring people to the right service and treatment.
•	
Caring for the patient throughout the care pathway.
•	
Cooperating in multidisciplinary teams.
•	
Measuring and improving the effectiveness of care.
With the integrated care model, Terveystalo aims 
to achieve both a positive social impact and high 
profitability. Terveystalo’s values constitute the 
foundation for all of Terveystalo’s operations:
•	
Human being at the centre: We take responsibility 
for the health and well-being of our fellow human 
beings, for the opportunity to live a good life. 
We work together to help our customers, and our 
customer guides us in our renewal. We help each 
other and value all of our experts.
•	
Steered by medical science: Everything we do is 
based on medical science and research. All of our 
decisions are steered by the effectiveness of care and 
the well-being of our customers.
•	
Reforming healthcare: We foster continuous 
development. We challenge ourselves to build more 
functional healthcare for everyone and reform the 
industry with open-minded use of technology. 
A value-based and ethical corporate culture is a 
prerequisite for Terveystalo’s operations and existence. 
It supports Terveystalo’s attractiveness as a workplace 
for highly competent professionals and increases 
the commitment of the personnel and the sense of 
meaningfulness experienced by the members of the 
work community. An ethical corporate culture also 
supports Terveystalo’s attractiveness as a reliable 
service provider for customers and as a partner for 
other stakeholders. The objectives of Terveystalo’s 
corporate culture are a high work ethic, professionalism, 
solution-oriented cooperation and measurable impact 
in everything the company does. Highly competent and 
committed personnel are the most important resource in 
Terveystalo's operations, and Terveystalo’s attractiveness 
as an employer and the well-being at work and job 
satisfaction of Terveystalo’s employees and practitioners 
constitute the foundation of everything the company 
does. Terveystalo’s goal is to be the best and most 
attractive employer in its industry for all professionals. 
Terveystalo invests in the competence and well-being of 
its personnel and the corporate culture. Equality, fairness 
and non-discrimination are its key policies.
The principle of doing what is right is part of all 
operations at Terveystalo, both as a company and as 
individuals. Terveystalo’s employees and practitioners 
must do what is right regardless of where they are, 
who they are with, or what the circumstances are. A 
workplace culture that does not compromise on doing 
what is right creates a foundation for long-term success. 
Responsible business is also financially profitable and 
sustainable. An ethical corporate culture supports 
Terveystalo’s attractiveness as a reliable service provider 
for customers and as a partner for other stakeholders. 
Making sustainable choices and doing what is right 
strengthens customers’ trust in Terveystalo, builds long-
term cooperation and creates value for Terveystalo’s 
shareholders. At the same time, it ensures that 
Terveystalo remains an attractive workplace for people 
who share its values. Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct 
includes a commitment to always complying with the 
laws and regulations governing Terveystalo’s operations.
The responsibilities of Terveystalo Plc's Board of 
Directors 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 CEO is responsible for the 
day-to-day management of the company and for 
executing the company’s strategy in accordance with the 
instructions and orders issued by the Board of Directors. 
The CEO undertakes the execution of measures 
approved by the Board of Directors and oversees 
preparations for strategically important measures. The 
Executive Team assists the CEO with tasks such as the 
preparation and execution of the company’s strategy, 
business plans, matters of principle, and any other 
important matters. At Terveystalo, the management 
approach is evaluated on the basis of audit observations, 
feedback, identified development areas and the 
achievement of Terveystalo’s targets. The management 
approach is adjusted as necessary. 
In addition to the company’s mission, values 
and strategy, Terveystalo’s operations are guided by 
Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of 
Conduct. Terveystalo’s management and supervisors are 
responsible for the communication and implementation 
of the Code of Conduct, and monitoring compliance 
with the Code of Conduct. Terveystalo has online 
training on the Code of Conduct for all Terveystalo 
personnel. Its aim is to improve awareness of key themes 
related to compliance and to promote the continued 
development of an ethical and compliance-driven 
culture. Terveystalo Group also expects its suppliers to 
observe high standards of sustainability with regard to 
ethical, social and environmental perspectives, as well as 
occupational health and safety. 
Terveystalo is a signatory to the UN Global Compact 
(UNGC) initiative. Terveystalo is committed to the UN 
Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the 
conventions of the International Labour Organization 
(ILO) and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact. 
Terveystalo is continuing to integrate the Global 
Compact principles concerning the environment, human 
rights, labour and anti-corruption into Terveystalo’s 
operations, culture and value chain.
Terveystalo’s strategy and business model are 
described in more detail in the section Strategy, business 
model and value chain (SBM-1) on pages 75–76.
Mechanisms for identifying, reporting 
and investigating concerns 
One important aspect of Terveystalo’s culture of doing 
the right thing is that everyone who acts on behalf of or 
with Terveystalo Group, and every customer, partner and 
supplier, can freely report any suspicions of misconduct 
and trust that Terveystalo will take appropriate measures 
to investigate the matter. Terveystalo Group encourages 
all of its employees and private practitioners to report 
any potential misconduct without delay. Terveystalo

has online training on the Code of Conduct aimed at 
everyone in the organisation. The training includes 
instructions on highlighting and reporting misconduct. 
The training is described in more detail below in the 
section on targets related to business conduct on 
pages 129–130 and in the section on actions related to 
business conduct on page 131. 
Terveystalo Group's Code of Conduct emphasises 
that actual or suspected violations of the Code of 
Conduct must be reported to the supervisor, the 
supervisor’s supervisor or Terveystalo’s Legal and 
Compliance department. As regards patient safety, 
everyone at Terveystalo is under the obligation to 
submit an incident report if they observe, or are made 
aware of, an issue that jeopardises patient safety, 
customer safety or data protection. Anyone can 
submit an incident report via Terveystalo’s website if 
they observe that patient safety or data protection 
has been compromised. In HR-related matters, the 
primary contact channel is Terveystalo’s HR unit. 
Suspected misconduct can also be reported via 
Terveystalo’s reporting channel, which is open to 
everyone. The reporting channel can be used, for 
example, if the suspicion concerns serious misconduct 
or if, due to the sensitivity of the matter, it is necessary 
to report it anonymously. The reporting channel 
enables anonymous reporting of observed or 
suspected misconduct at https://www.report.whistleb.
com/en/terveystalo. The reporting channel has been in 
place since 2017, and it has become established as one 
possible avenue for reporting suspected misconduct 
or violations. In Sweden, Feelgood Svenska AB and its 
subsidiaries have their own reporting channel, which 
is intended for internal use within Feelgood. Terveystalo 
and Feelgood use technical reporting channel platforms 
developed by external service providers, but process and 
investigate the received reports themselves as described 
below. All reports and suspicions of misconduct are 
investigated without delay, independently and impartially 
regardless of the channel used to report the suspected 
misconduct, or whether the suspicion of misconduct arises 
in connection with normal operating activities.
The reporting channel can be used to submit reports 
concerning actual or suspected misconduct related to the 
following topics, for example: consumer protection, the 
prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, 
violations of financial market rules and regulations, 
violations of procurement legislation or unfair competition, 
environmental protection, violations of data protection 
legislation and regulations governing the security of 
network and information systems, taxation, product safety 
and compliance, as well as actual or suspected violations 
of the applicable industry-specific regulations, including 
the Radiation Act and the Medicines Act. 
The identity of whistleblowers and the subjects of 
whistleblower reports, as well as other matters related to 
the reports, are kept confidential in accordance with the 
law, and whistleblowers are protected in compliance with 
the national legislation enacted in Finland and Sweden 
to implement the European Union’s Whistleblower 
Protection Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1937). 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. No retaliation of 
any kind is allowed. This includes threats, punishments 
or discrimination against persons who submit reports or 
persons participating in investigations of reports. Actions 
to prevent reporting, or to influence the content of a 
report, are also prohibited.
Reports received via Terveystalo's reporting channel 
are processed only by persons designated to process 
reports in the HR or Legal and Compliance function and, 
where necessary, specialists and Terveystalo’s external 
advisors appointed on an investigation-specific basis. 
The designated persons are updated as necessary. The 
persons who process reports are clearly indicated on the 
pages of each language version of the reporting channel. 
If any of the persons who process reports are potentially 
disqualified from processing a report, the reporter is 
encouraged to point this out when submitting their report 
so that the persons who process reports can take the 
necessary measures to ensure the impartial processing 
of the report. Disqualified persons will not participate 
in the processing of the report. Terveystalo’s Senior Vice 
President, Human Resources and the HR Director process 
reports concerning HR matters, the Chief Administrative 
Physician and Chief Medical Officer of the Healthcare 
Services process reports concerning medical matters, and 
the Data Protection Officer processes reports concerning 
data protection. Reports concerning other matters 
are processed by Terveystalo’s Legal and Compliance 
department. During the course of an investigation, other 
specialists can also be appointed to the investigation team 
if necessary. Where necessary, in investigations of reports 
concerning a particular employment relationship, the 
supervisor of the reporter’s supervisor is also engaged in 
the investigation at an early stage, unless the supervisor’s 
supervisor is the subject of the report or if engaging them 
in the investigation is otherwise not appropriate. The 
subject of the report is heard during the investigation if 
possible. Where necessary, assistance can be sought from 
external advisors who are specialists in the subject matter 
of the report. The persons handling reports are trained 
on current themes related to whistleblower protection 
as necessary. Reports received through Feelgood’s 
internal reporting channel are processed by Feelgood’s 
Legal Department and/or Quality Manager. If necessary, 
other specialists can also be appointed internally to the 
investigation team, and the assistance of external advisors 
can be requested as necessary.
Any identified incidents of material misconduct 
are reported to Terveystalo’s senior management and 
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which 
monitors the procedures for handling complaints and 
concerns raised anonymously or otherwise regarding 
financial reporting, internal control or auditing, potential 
violations of the rules governing the financial markets, 
other breaches of legislation or the company’s Code of 
Conduct, or other violations. In Sweden, any identified 
incidents of misconduct are reported to Feelgood’s 
CEO, who is also a member of the Terveystalo Group's 
Executive Team. If the CEO is disqualified, the misconduct 
is reported to the Board of Directors of Feelgood Svenska 
AB or Terveystalo’s General Counsel. The potential 
findings arising from reported incidents and completed 
investigations are taken into consideration in the 
development of Terveystalo Group’s processes.

Management of relationships 
with suppliers
G1-2
The success of Terveystalo’s business and maintaining 
its competitiveness require efficient and sustainable 
supplier cooperation. Terveystalo has a Supplier 
Relationship Management (SRM) model in place for 
supplier management. 
The goals of the SRM model are as follows: 
1.	
Ensuring the availability of supply and services: 
responsible cooperation ensures business continuity 
even in disruptions.
2.	 Improving the predictability of prices and cost 
control: close cooperation helps to manage the total 
costs of procurement. 
3.	 Ensuring sustainability: suppliers commit to 
Terveystalo’s sustainability requirements, which 
cover financial, tax-related, social and environmental 
impacts. 
4.	 Maintaining and improving quality: cooperation 
ensures high and consistent quality and a good 
customer experience while ensuring sustainability. 
5.	
Taking advantage of innovation: close supplier 
cooperation provides information on products, 
services and operating models and produces new 
sustainable innovations.
The implementation of the SRM model at Terveystalo 
is the responsibility of a specialist designated for each 
supplier relationship. They maintain adherence to the 
SRM model in supplier cooperation. The specialist 
is responsible for the designated procurement 
area and coordinates supplier cooperation with the 
supplier in question for all of Terveystalo’s functions. 
The SRM model covers supplier relationship life-
cycle management. The procurement function is 
responsible for analysing supplier volume and the 
classification of suppliers and, if necessary, participates 
in supplier cooperation or supports specialists in the 
implementation of the SRM model.
Supplier relationship management provides better 
visibility into the supply chain, improving delivery 
reliability, quality management and risk management, 
and increasing visibility into total costs and the flexibility 
of the supply chain.
Management of 
the procurement process
Terveystalo’s procurement principles are focused on 
supporting strategic business objectives, sustainability, 
cost efficiency and quality assurance. Procurement is 
systematic and requirements driven. 
In accordance with the procurement process, 
Terveystalo’s sourcing is subject to competitive 
tendering, and decisions are made on the basis of 
tenders and negotiations. Terveystalo ensures that the 
sourcing process is transparent, appropriate and cost-
efficient. Depending on the business significance, and 
its scope and contract value, the relevant stakeholders 
are engaged in the procurement process. Changes in 
markets, service quality, the legal framework and price 
are taken into account in Terveystalo's procurement 
activities. The selection criteria include professional 
competence, reliability, financial stability, sustainability, 
resources, life-cycle costs, quality and competitive 
pricing. As a rule, Terveystalo’s general terms of 
agreement apply to all procurements and agreements, 
subject to case-by-case assessment. 
Purchase invoice process
Terveystalo ensures that purchase invoices are paid in a 
timely manner. The majority, approximately 95 percent, 
of purchase invoices are received as e-invoices or by 
e-mail, which makes the invoice management process 
more efficient and ensures that invoices are received.
The use of artificial intelligence in invoice processing 
means that most invoices are automatically circulated 
without any delays. Invoices requiring manual processing 
are forwarded to the relevant party on the day they are 
received. The system sends daily reminders to end-users 
about incomplete tasks, and separate reminders are 
sent to inspectors and approvers regarding overdue 
invoices. Terveystalo’s internal processes and division 
of responsibilities support the smooth circulation of 
invoices and the transition to the payment stage. During 
holidays, invoice inspectors and approvers are reminded 
of the importance of out-of-office settings. Approval 
authorisations can be transferred to a substitute in 
accordance with the approval matrix, which ensures 
that invoices are processed on schedule even during 
absences. For procurement agreements, the payment 
terms stipulated by the agreement are observed. The 
invoicing address information recommends a payment 
term of at least 30 days, but the aim is to circulate and 
pay invoices faster than that, especially with respect 
to smaller companies and suppliers. Penalty interest 
and related costs of late payment are monitored as 
performance indicators of the accounts payable team, 
and the processes are continuously developed using 
based on related analyses. The responsible and smooth 
processing of purchase invoices supports not only 
Terveystalo’s operations but also the financial stability 
of its partners.
Prevention and detection of 
corruption and bribery 
G1-3 
In the area of anti-corruption and anti-bribery, 
Terveystalo complies with the law and other 
applicable regulations and guidelines. Terveystalo is 
also committed to the UN Global Compact (UNGC) 
initiative and its anti-corruption principles. Terveystalo’s 
operations are also guided by the Code of Conduct, 
which lays down the main principles for the prevention 
of corruption and bribery including, for example, 
giving and accepting gifts and hospitality, the 
avoidance of conflicts of interest, and fair competition. 
Terveystalo has an anti-corruption and anti-bribery 
compliance programme that includes policies, process 
instructions and other supplementary instructions on 
the subject. The guidelines cover, among other things, 
gifts and hospitality, disqualification, fair competition 
and a sustainable supply chain and value chain. 
The prevention of corruption and bribery 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, and fair competition. All of Terveystalo’s 
contract suppliers and suppliers participating 
in tendering processes are required to accept 
Terveystalo’s Supplier Code of Conduct, which 
includes guidelines and requirements concerning 
the prevention of corruption and bribery, conflicts of 
interest, and fair competition, amongst other things.

Sustainability statement

The Code of Conduct, Supplier Code of Conduct 
and other key policies and guidelines related to the 
prevention of corruption and bribery are described 
above in the section on policies related to business 
conduct, on pages 123–126.
Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct emphasises that 
Terveystalo does not give or accept gifts or other 
benefits that could affect business decisions or have 
considerable personal or financial value. Any gifts 
given and hospitality offered must support a clear 
business objective, be of reasonable value and be 
appropriate with regard to the nature of the business 
relationship. In accordance with the Code of Conduct, all 
decisions and transactions made at Terveystalo must be 
in Terveystalo’s best interest and not based on anyone’s 
personal interests. Friends and relatives must be treated 
like any other partners, and personal relationships with 
partners must not influence decision-making. Everyone at 
Terveystalo must recognise and avoid conflicts of interest 
and refrain from making decisions that involve, or may 
involve, a conflict of interest. Any circumstances that 
may be considered a conflict of interest must be reported 
to the supervisor immediately, and the matter must be 
resolved in accordance with Terveystalo's interests. 
In addition to customers, personnel, private 
practitioners, shareholders and suppliers, Terveystalo’s 
key stakeholders include the public authorities and 
societal decision-makers that influence the legislation 
governing Terveystalo’s industry and the drafting of such 
legislation. The development and renewal of healthcare 
is a shared goal for Terveystalo, the authorities and 
decision-makers. Terveystalo engages in open dialogue 
on issues related to the healthcare sector with the 
authorities and societal decision-makers. The channels 
of interaction include open dialogue, meetings and 
staying in touch through participation in various working 
groups and events, among other things. Terveystalo 
also has representatives in several organisations. The 
most significant of these are the Confederation of 
Finnish Industries, the Finland Chamber of Commerce, 
the Helsinki Region Chamber of Commerce, the 
Finnish Association of Private Care Providers HALI, the 
Association of Finnish Private Healthcare Providers, the 
Finnish Association of Purchasing and Logistics LOGY, 
and FIBS ry. Terveystalo conducts open dialogue with 
industry organisations on topics related to the industry 
and engages in diverse cooperation with organisations 
such as the Finnish Association of Private Care Providers 
HALI and the Association of Finnish Private Healthcare 
Providers. The cooperation channels include working 
groups and various events. 
According to the Code of Conduct, Terveystalo 
does not support political activities. Terveystalo does 
not sponsor political parties or organisations, directly 
or indirectly, nor does Terveystalo fund the election 
campaigns of individual candidates. 
Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct includes a 
commitment to fair competition. Terveystalo competes 
fairly, with integrity, and in compliance with the 
applicable legislation. All Terveystalo employees are 
required to comply with laws, regulations and internal 
guidelines pertaining to competition, including 
Terveystalo Group’s competition law guidelines. 
Terveystalo has mandatory online training on the 
Code of Conduct and compliance for all employees. 
The aim of the training is to provide an improved 
understanding of key compliance-related themes, such 
as the avoidance of conflicts of interest, the prevention 
of bribery, and fair competition. The content concerning 
the prevention of corruption and bribery was compiled 
into a separate course section in the revised online course 
on compliance in 2023. Among Terveystalo’s internal 
functions, public services, B2B sales and procurement 
are the most susceptible to corruption and bribery. 
The aforementioned online training on the Code of 
Conduct, which also includes content on the prevention 
of corruption and bribery, is mandatory for all Terveystalo 
employees and therefore also for all employees working 
in the functions identified as having an elevated risk.
The Code of Conduct, Supplier Code of Conduct and 
the competition law guidelines are discussed in more detail 
above in the section on policies related to business conduct, 
on pages 123–126. Mechanisms for identifying, reporting 
and investigating concerns and suspected misconduct 
are discussed in more detail above on pages 126–127 and 
supplier audits below in section on actions concerning 
sustainable supply chain on pages 130–131. The training of 
personnel on compliance with the Code of Conduct and 
other requirements is discussed in more detail below in the 
section on targets related to business conduct on pages 
129–130 and in the section on actions related to business 
conduct on page 131.
Targets
Terveystalo has selected two key targets for managing 
its impacts related to ethical business conduct. The 
selected targets promote the realisation of ethical and 
sustainable business at Terveystalo and in its value and 
supply chains. Both targets are connected to following 
material sustainability matters related to business 
conduct as defined by Terveystalo: corporate culture, 
responsible supply chain, prevention of corruption and 
bribery, and respect for human rights. Terveystalo has 
not set a measurable target related to responsible tax 
payment. Terveystalo reports its tax footprint annually 
(see pages 131–132) and monitors the efficiency of its 
policies and actions related to tax payment. 
Training the personnel on compliance 
with the Code of Conduct and 
correct action
Terveystalo is committed to promoting ethical business 
practices and provides training to its personnel on 
compliance with the Code of Conduct and correct 
action. Terveystalo has online training aimed at everyone 
in the organisation on compliance with the Code of 
Conduct. Separate customised online training that takes 
differences in operating environments into consideration 
is in place for administrative personnel and those 
engaged in clinical work. Completing the course is 
mandatory for all employees. 
The purpose of the courses is to build an 
understanding of why compliance and ethical and 
sustainable business is important and how it is related 
to the day-to-day actions and decisions by everyone 
at Terveystalo. A further goal of the training is to 
create a better understanding of key themes related to 
compliance, including the prevention and detection of 
corruption and bribery, fair competition, the avoidance 
of conflicts of interest, and reporting misconduct, and to 
further develop Terveystalo’s culture of compliance. 
A new compliance course was introduced in 
spring 2023. In connection with this, the course was 
revised, the content of the training was customised on 
a targeted basis to account for the differences between 
the operating environments of administrative personnel 
and those engaged in clinical work, and the training 
was made more interactive. The course was moved to a

new online platform to improve the user experience. 
The development of the online compliance course 
continued throughout 2024.
Everyone at Terveystalo is required to observe 
the Code of Conduct, regardless of their business 
unit or position, which is why the target is for all 
Terveystalo employees to have completed the 
training on the Code of Conduct and correct action. 
Going forward, the course will need to be taken 
once every two years. During the completion review 
period 5/2023–12/2024, 91 percent of Terveystalo's 
employees in permanent, full-time employment 
relationships completed the training. The figures 
include Terveystalo’s operations in Finland. A revised 
online course on compliance will be deployed in 
Sweden in 2025.
In 2024, measures were taken to improve 
the reach of the online compliance course. 
Communication concerning the course was increased 
and clarified, the course completion and monitoring 
process was clarified, the monitoring of course 
completions was made more efficient, and the other 
language versions of the course were updated to 
correspond to the Finnish-language course revised in 
2023. The measures taken during 2024 were reflected 
in a clear increase in completion activity during the 
year. Completion activity is monitored regularly. 
The development of the online course completion 
and monitoring process will continue in 2025, in 
addition to which the content of the course will be 
reviewed to ensure that it responds to changes in the 
operating environment.

1) The new compliance course was introduced and moved to a new online platform in spring 2023. Going forward, the course must be completed once every two years, and the course completion period 
5/2023–12/2025 was under way during the period 5/2023–12/2024. For this reason, the reported figure for 2023 includes completions for the period 5/2023-12/2023 (i.e. completions that took place after 
the course was revised and were accomplished by 31 December 2023). The reported figure for 2024, on the other hand, includes completions for the period 5/2023–12/2024 (i.e. completions that took place 
after the course was revised and were accomplished by 31 December 2024). The reported figures do not include Medimar Scandinavia Ab or the companies acquired in Finland during 2024 (SRK Group Oy, 
Suomen Radiologikeskus Oy, iRad Oy, Kajaanin Radiologieskus Oy, and Cityläkarna Mariehamn Ab), whose personnel are not in Terveystalo's centralized personnel system and do not have access to Terveystalo's 
learning platform.
2) Terveystalo measures the share of suppliers who have approved the Supplier Code of Conduct among Terveystalo’s key suppliers representing approximately 80% of the total procurement expenditure of 
Terveystalo’s operations in Finland. The procurement expenditure does not include expenses related to fees paid to private practitioners, purchases for operations in Sweden, one-off purchases or purchases of 
low significance.
Suppliers that have approved the 
Supplier Code of Conduct
Terveystalo also strives to ensure ethical and sustainable 
business conduct in its value and supply chains. 
Contractual suppliers and suppliers participating 
in tendering processes are required to approve 
Terveystalo’s Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes 
guidelines and requirements pertaining to supply chain 
management, product safety and compliance, and 
business ethics, including the prevention of corruption 
and bribery, competition law, conflicts of interest and 
data protection, as well as human rights, fundamental 
rights at work, occupational health and safety, taxation 
and environmental responsibility. 
The target is for 100 percent of Terveystalo’s key 
suppliers to have approved the Supplier Code of 
Conduct. At the end of 2024, 97 (81) percent of key 
suppliers, representing approximately 80 percent of 
Terveystalo’s total procurement for operations in Finland, 
had approved the Supplier Code of Conduct. The figures 
include Terveystalo’s operations in Finland. 
Actions
Sustainable supply chain
To ensure compliance with the Supplier Code of Conduct 
and other contractual terms, Terveystalo conducts 
supplier self-assessments and regular audits. Supplier 
audits are carried out on a targeted basis. A total of four 
supplier audits were conducted in 2024. The audited 
entities are suppliers that are critical to Terveystalo. They 
are selected based on their business significance or risk 
factors related to the supplier. 
Supplier audits are carried out by Terveystalo's 
own personnel. The audit participants include the 
procurement function, the designated specialist 
responsible for the supplier relationship, and other 
specialists involved in supplier cooperation. The audit 
comprises a preliminary information form completed 
by the supplier, a supplier interview, a site visit and 
feedback sessions. The objective of supplier audits is 
to develop supplier cooperation and ensure that the 
audited supplier’s operations satisfy the contractual 
requirements pertaining to the content of the service, 
Terveystalo

Sustainability statement

sustainability, quality and information security. The 
outcomes of audits can include identified strengths, 
observations on development areas, slight or significant 
deviations, or potential breaches of agreement. 
Terveystalo provides the audited supplier with a written 
summary of the audit results and potential deviations. 
For any identified deviations, a corrective action plan is 
required to rectify the deviations and ensure compliance 
with the contractual requirements. Four supplier 
audits were conducted in 2024. The audited entities 
included a supplier of healthcare supplies, a supplier 
of pharmaceutical products, a supplier of healthcare 
equipment, and a service provider used for textile care.
Prevention of corruption and bribery
Policy and process development concerning the 
prevention of corruption and bribery continued 
throughout 2024. The content concerning the 
prevention of corruption and bribery was compiled 
into a separate course section in the revised online 
compliance course in 2023. The aim was to identify 
situations that may involve a risk of corruption or 
bribery, and to train the personnel to act ethically and 
in accordance with the requirements in the situations in 
question. Sections concerning the responsible supply 
chain and value chain have also been integrated into 
the revised course content, complete with detailed 
examples. Course content on conflicts of interest and 
gifts and hospitality has also previously been integrated 
into the revised online compliance course. The 
development of the online compliance course continued 
throughout 2024. Terveystalo also continuously 
develops its compliance program and the related 
processes and controls to ensure that they correspond to 
the changes in the operating environment.
One important aspect of Terveystalo’s culture 
of doing the right thing is that everyone who acts 
on behalf of or with Terveystalo Group, and every 
customer, partner and supplier, can freely report any 
suspicions of misconduct and trust that Terveystalo 
will take appropriate measures to investigate any 
actions that are or are suspected of being in violation 
of the Code of Conduct. Terveystalo encourages 
all of its employees and private practitioners to 
report any potential misconduct without delay. 
Observed or suspected misconduct related to the 
Code of Conduct, can be reported anonymously at 
www.report.whistleb.com/en/terveystalo. One of the 
focus areas of the Compliance function has been to 
increase awareness of the reporting channel to make the 
threshold for reporting as low as possible. Terveystalo 
estimates that this effort has been successful. All 
suspected misconduct and violations are investigated 
appropriately and confidentially regardless of the channel 
used to report the suspected misconduct, or whether 
the suspected misconduct arises in connection with 
normal operating activities. Potential incidents related to 
corruption or bribery are reported to Terveystalo’s senior 
management and the Audit Committee of the Board 
of Directors. The processing of reports received through 
the reporting channel is described in more detail above 
in the section on mechanisms for identifying, reporting 
and investigating concerns on pages 126–127 and in the 
processing instructions for Terveystalo’s reporting channel, 
which are publicly available in Finnish on Terveystalo's 
external website. 
Respect for 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 
value chain or 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 (UNGC) initiative and 
its principles pertaining to human rights and labour 
rights. Terveystalo’s service providers, suppliers and 
other partners are also expected to observe the same 
principles and respect internationally recognised human 
rights. Principles related to human rights are included 
in Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct and Supplier Code of 
Conduct. 
In late 2024, Terveystalo carried out a human rights 
impact assessment concerning the entire value chain. 
Terveystalo’s human rights policy, which was formed on 
the basis of the impact assessment, entered into effect in 
January 2025. The identified potential adverse impacts 
will be taken into account in the update of the double 
materiality assessment in 2025 and the development of 
due diligence processes during 2025.
Improving the reach of the online 
course on compliance and the Code of 
Conduct that was revised in 2023
The revised version of the online course package on 
compliance and Terveystalo’s Code of Conduct was 
introduced in spring 2023. In connection with this, 
the course was revised, the content of the training 
was customised on a targeted basis to account for the 
differences between the operating environments of 
administrative personnel and those engaged in clinical 
work, and the training was made more interactive. One 
of the focus areas of the update was also to identify 
grey area situations in which a given course of action 
is not illegal but nevertheless ethically problematic in 
some cases. The course was also moved to a new online 
platform to improve the user experience. 
In 2024, measures were taken to improve the reach 
of the revised online course. Communications about 
the course were increased and clarified, the course 
completion and monitoring process was clarified, course 
completion monitoring was enhanced and the other 
language versions of the course package were updated 
to correspond to the Finnish-language content revised 
in 2023. The measures taken during 2024 were reflected 
in a clear increase in completion activity during the year. 
Completion activity is monitored regularly. During the 
year, the deployment of the revised online course also 
began in the Group's Swedish operations. The aim is for 
the revised online course on compliance to be rolled out 
in Sweden during 2025.
The goal of the course package is to create a better 
understanding of key themes related to compliance, 
including the prevention and detection of corruption 
and bribery, fair competition, the avoidance of conflicts 
of interest and the reporting of misconduct, and to 
further develop Terveystalo’s culture of compliance. 
The course and the related actions are connected to 
following material sustainability matters related to 
business conduct as defined by Terveystalo: corporate 
culture, responsible supply chain, prevention of 
corruption and bribery, and respect for human rights.

Terveystalo pays its taxes according to 
the value-added chain
The parent company of the Terveystalo Group and 
the financing and procurement companies operate 
in Finland and pay their taxes to Finland. Terveystalo 
has companies providing health services and other 
services in Finland, Sweden and Estonia. 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 includes all of the companies under 
the Swedish subgroup. As the share of revenue 
represented by the subsidiary operating in Estonia is 
still low compared to the Group as a whole, its share of 
the tax footprint is presented in combination with the 
figures for Sweden. 
In 2024, Terveystalo’s tax footprint totalled EUR 
218.7 (212.1) million. The tax footprint is an indicator 
of the total tax revenue generated for society by 
Terveystalo’s business activities. In addition, Terveystalo 
paid a total of EUR 399.4 (380.1) million in fees to 
private practitioners, who pay their individual taxes 
separately. The taxes paid by private practitioners are 
not included in Terveystalo’s tax footprint.

Tax footprint
To ensure comparability, the basis of preparation 
of the tax footprint indicators have remained 
the same from one financial period to the next. 
The tax footprint is an indicator of the total tax 
revenue generated for society by the company's 
business activities.
Statutory payments related to personnel 
are calculated on a performance basis, and they 
include the employer’s share of TyEL employee 
insurance premiums and unemployment insurance 
contributions, accident insurance premiums and 
group life insurance premiums, the employer’s health 
insurance contributions and social security costs 
outside Finland. Social security costs illustrate the 
social impact of the company's employer obligations.
Taxes withheld from salaries are related to 
payments made to Terveystalo employees. The 
purpose of this calculation principle is to describe the 
positive societal impact made through Terveystalo’s 
employees. This is supplemented by the fees paid 
to private practitioners, for which each private 
practitioner pays their own taxes.
Taxes paid consist of the total of taxes and 
tax-like payments that are relevant to Terveystalo 
Group. Non-deducted VAT consists of the total 
amount of value added taxes per financial period 
which Terveystalo Group cannot deduct in its value-
added taxation due to the VAT-exempt nature of the 
business. Starting from the financial period 2022, 
Terveystalo has added its net remitted VAT to its tax 
footprint calculation principles. This consists of the 
VAT remitted to the Finnish Tax Administration for 
Terveystalo’s services subject to VAT. The amount 
of net remitted VAT depends on the extent of 
business operations subject to VAT, which varies 
from one financial period to the next. Period-specific 
fluctuations in volume are reflected in period-specific 
differences in the amount of net remitted VAT.
The basis of preparation of the tax footprint also 
includes describing Terveystalo’s direct taxes as part 
of the Group's social impact. Terveystalo Group’s 
direct taxes include corporate income tax, asset 
transfer tax and real estate tax. Terveystalo’s income 
taxes are calculated on a cash basis, which is why 
the amount of corporate income tax varies between 
financial periods. The amount of corporate income 
tax depends on the taxable profit of the separate 
companies, and the taxable profit is affected by the 
Group companies’ business operations and changes 
during the financial period. In accordance with the Tax 
Accounting Act, a share of the corporate income tax 
Terveystalo pays is distributed to the municipalities 
where Terveystalo’s employees have worked, based 
on the number of employees. This means that all 
of Terveystalo’s clinics and outsourcing operations 
accrue tax revenue for the municipality they operate 
in. Real estate tax is paid on properties owned by 
the company, such as buildings and structures, and 
the amount of real estate tax depends on the value 
and purpose of the property. The Group’s asset 
transfer taxes consist of transactions subject to asset 
transfer tax during the financial period. The basis 
of preparation of the tax footprint also includes 
the collection of taxes on dividends paid, which 
is reported on a cash basis and disaggregated by 
financial period. The country-specific disaggregation 
of Terveystalo’s tax footprint illustrates the 
aforementioned taxes and tax-like payments from 
a geographical perspective. The disaggregation is 
based on a geographical division between Finland 
and other countries with business operations (Sweden 
and Estonia).
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. In terms of the basis of preparation, 
this means that Terveystalo’s tax footprint reporting 
for Finland covers all of the Group's Finnish 
companies. In addition, for Sweden and Feelgood, 
the tax footprint includes all of the companies under 
the Swedish subgroup. As the share of revenue 
represented by the subsidiary operating in Estonia is 
still low compared to the Group as a whole, its share 
of the tax footprint is presented in combination with 
the figures for Sweden.

Financial statements

1. Corporate information
Terveystalo Plc is a Finnish public limited liability company organised under the laws of Finland and 
domiciled in Helsinki, Finland. The parent company, Terveystalo Plc, is listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki. 
Terveystalo Group (“the Group”, “Terveystalo”) consists of the parent company and 24 subsidiaries. More 
information on subsidiaries is presented in note 31. A copy of the consolidated financial statements is 
available at the Group’s website www.terveystalo.com, from Terveystalo Oyj / Corporate Communications, 
Jaakonkatu 3, 00100 Helsinki, Finland, or via e-mail at investors@terveystalo.com. 
Terveystalo is a leading private healthcare service provider in Finland and leading occupational health 
provider in the Nordic region. The company offers general practice and specialist medical care, diagnostic 
services, outpatient surgery, dental services and other adjacent services to corporate, private and public 
sector customers. 
In its meeting on 13 March 2025, the Board of Directors of Terveystalo Plc approved the publishing of these 
consolidated financial statements.
According to the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, shareholders have the right to approve 
or reject the financial statements in the Annual General Meeting held after the publication of the 
financial statements. The Annual General Meeting also has the right to make a decision to amend 
the financial statements.
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 prepared in compliance with the IAS and IFRS standards as well as the SIC and IFRIC 
interpretations in force on 31 December 2024. The consolidated financial statements also comply with the 
regulations of Finnish accounting and company legislation 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 consequently the sum of individual figures may deviate from the presented aggregate figure.
 
2.2 Application of new and amended IFRSs and  
new IFRIC agenda decisions 
New and amended standards applied in the financial year 2024
The Group has applied as from 1 January 2024 the following new and amended standards that have come 
into effect:
•	 Amendments to IFRS 16 – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback: The amendments introduce a new 
accounting model for variable payments and will require seller-lessees to reassess and potentially restate 
sale-and-leaseback transactions entered into since the implementation of IFRS 16 in 2019.
•	 Amendments to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current Date; Classification of 
Liabilities as Current or Non-current – Deferral of Effective Date; Non-current Liabilities with Covenants: 
The amendments are to promote consistency in application and clarify the requirements for determining 
if a liability is current or non-current. The amendments specify that covenants to be complied with after 
the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. 
The amendments require to disclose information about these covenants in the notes to the financial 
statements. The amendments also clarify transfer of a company’s own equity instruments is regarded as 
settlement of a liability.
•	 Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 – Supplier Finance Arrangements: The amendments enhance the 
transparency of supplier finance arrangements and their effects on a company’s liabilities, cash flows and 
exposure to liquidity risk. Amendments require to disclose quantitative and qualitative information about 
supplier finance programs. 
The above-mentioned amendments have no impact on Terveystalo’s consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of new and amended standards and interpretations applicable in 
future financial years
At the publication day of this Group consolidated financial statements, Terveystalo has not applied following 
new and amended standards and interpretations that are effective in future periods: 
•	 IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements* (effective for financial years beginning on 
or after 1 January 2027, early application is permitted). IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial 
Statements. The key new requirements are as follows:
•	 Income and expenses in the income statement to be classified into three new defined categories—
operating, investing and financing—and two new subtotals—“Operating profit or loss” and “Profit or 
loss before financing and income tax”.
Terveystalo
Annual Report 2024
139
Corporate Governance
Sustainability statement
Report of the Board of Directors 
Year 2024
Strategy and business
Financial statements

•	 Disclosures about management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the financial statements. 
MPMs are subtotals of income and expenses used in public communications to communicate 
management’s view of the company’s financial performance.
•	 Disclosure of information based on enhanced general requirements on aggregation and disaggregation. 
In addition, specific requirements to disaggregate certain expenses in the notes will be required for 
companies that present operating expenses by function in the income statement.
Terveystalo has started a preliminary assessment of the impacts on its consolidated financial statements. The 
most significant impact identified is that Terveystalo will classify income and expenses into new categories in 
income statement. In addition, management-defined performance measures will be disclosed in the notes.
 
New and amended standards and interpretations applicable in future financial years that are not expected to 
have significant impact on Terveystalo’s consolidated financial statements:
•	 Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments * (effective 
for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2026, early application is permitted)
•	 Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards—Volume 11* (effective for financial years beginning 
on or after 1 January 2026, early application is permitted)
•	 Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate 
or Joint Venture* (available for optional adoption, effective date deferred indefinitely)
New and amended standards and interpretations applicable in future financial years that are not expected to 
have impact on Terveystalo’s consolidated financial statements: 
•	 Amendments to IAS 21 – Lack of Exchangeability (effective for financial years beginning on or after 
1 January 2025, early application is permitted)
•	 IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures* (effective for financial years beginning on 
or after 1 January 2027, early application is permitted)
* Not yet endorsed for use by the European Union as of 31 December 2024.  
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 on the reporting date, prior 
experience and assumptions about future events related, among other things, to the expected development 
of the Group's economic environment in terms of sales and cost level. However, it is possible that the realised 
outcomes differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the financial statements. In addition, the 
application of the accounting policies requires judgement, especially when the current IFRS standards have 
alternative accounting, valuation and presentation methods. 
The Group monitors the realisation 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 recognised in the period when the estimate or assumption 
is revised, and in the future periods if the change affects the subsequent periods.
The most important issues requiring management’s judgement are presented below:
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 determine 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 
recognised as long-term lease contracts.
The critical accounting estimates are presented below:
Provisions
The most significant provisions in the statement of financial position relate mainly to loss-making contracts. 
Management makes estimates mainly concerning the total loss of the loss-making contracts. 
Intangible assets in connection with business combinations
IFRS 3 requires the acquirer to recognise intangible assets separately from goodwill, if certain criteria are met. 
Recognising 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.

Sustainability statement

Year 2024
Strategy and business
Financial statements

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.
Impairment testing
Impairment testing for cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated is carried out at least 
annually. 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 appropriate, the estimated recoverable amounts may differ 
from the actual results. 
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 company. 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 commences until the date on which control ceases.
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 recognised as an 
expense as incurred. Transactions treated separately from the acquisition are recognised through the income 
statement and are not included in the consideration transferred. Any contingent consideration is measured 
at fair value and it is classified either as a liability or equity. Contingent consideration classified as a liability 
is measured at fair value at the end of reporting period and the resulting profit or loss is recognised 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 recognised 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 
recognised in profit or loss.
Intra-group transactions, receivables, liabilities and unrealised 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 
transactions – 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 recognised 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 recognised at cost, which includes 
transaction cost. If the Group’s share of the associated company’s losses exceeds the carrying amount of the 
investment, the investment is recognised 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.
Unrealised 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 expenses. 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 whether 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 recognised in the 
statement of income.

Corporate Governance
Sustainability statement
Report of the Board of Directors 
Year 2024
Strategy and business
Financial statements

If the Group’s ownership interest in an associate is reduced, but significant influence is retained, only 
the relative portion of previously recognised amounts in other comprehensive income and the value of the 
investment in the consolidated financial statements are recognised 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 recognised 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 currency, and thus its statement of income, statement of cash flows and statement of financial 
position have been translated 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 recognised 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 recognised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of items of property, 
plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives are as follows: 
Magnetic resonance imaging equipment	
	
10 years
Buildings		
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
10–40 years
Machinery and equipment	
	
	
	
	
2–7 years
Improvements to office premises	 	
	
	
3–10 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.
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 capitalises 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 depreciation period. 
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 
transferred, 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.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets include software and licenses, as well as acquired companies’ customer relationships, 
trademarks and other intangible assets. Intangible assets are recognised initially at cost if the cost of the 
asset can be measured 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 recognised 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 
Terveystalo

Strategy and business
Financial statements

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.
Intangible assets are measured at cost and amortised on a straight line basis over the known or estimated 
useful lives.
Amortisation periods used for intangible assets are as follows:
Immaterial rights	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
3–7 years
Software	 	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
3–5 years
Customer agreements and related customer relationships	 	
3–12 years
Trademarks	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
20 years or shorter useful life
Other intangible assets	 	
	
	
	
	
	
	
	
3–5 years
Research and development
Research expenditure are recognised as an expense as incurred in the statement of income. Development 
expenditure are capitalised as intangible assets when certain capitalisation criteria are met. Development 
expenditure that do not qualify for the capitalisation are recognised as an expense. The estimated useful lives of 
capitalised 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 indications 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 
cash-generating units, 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 estimated 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 recognised when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable 
amount. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income. If impairment loss is related to a 
cash generating unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill 
allocated to the cash generating unit, and 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 amortisation, is reassessed when an 
impairment loss is recognised. The impairment loss recognised 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 recognised. 
Impairment loss recognised 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 recognises 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 consideration. A lessee recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on statement of 
financial position at the lease commencement 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 judgment, 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 recognise 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.

Financial statements

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 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 estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are 1-13 years.
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 recognised 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 
commencement date. The Group uses an 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 guarantee, and the exercise price under a purchase option that Terveystalo is 
reasonably certain to exercise.
Subsequently a lease liability is measured at amortised 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 remeasured 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 amortised 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 instruments and loan receivables. Realised or unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair 
values are recognised in the statement of income in the period in which they are incurred. 
Financial assets at amortised cost consist of trade receivables and other receivables. They are measured 
at amortised 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 2023 or 2024.
The financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows expire, or the financial 
asset is transferred 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 
amortised cost.
Financial liabilities at fair value through the statement of income comprise derivative liabilities and 
contingent considerations. Realised or unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in fair values are 
recognised the statement of income in the period in which they are incurred. 
Financial liabilities at amortised cost include loans from financial institutions, bonds, lease liabilities, hire 
purchase liabilities and trade and other payables. They are initially recognised at fair value which is based on 
the consideration received. Transaction costs are included in the initial amount recognised and subsequently 
the financial liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
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 2023 or 2024.
Financial liability is derecognised 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.
2.12 Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is 
determined by using FIFO (first in, first out) method. Net realisable 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 recognised 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 
benefits and bears the risk of change in the value of plan liability and assets. The liability recognised 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.
Actuarial gains and losses related to remeasurements of a defined benefit plan are recognised directly in 
the other comprehensive income. Interest and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognised 
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 recognised directly in the 
statement of income when the plan amendment or curtailment occurs.
Share-based payment transactions
The benefits granted in accordance with the incentive plan are measured at fair value at the grant date and 
are expensed 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 recognised as an increase 
in equity. The cash-settled share-based incentives are valued at fair value at each reporting date until the 
settlement date and recognised 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 accordance 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 recognised 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 recognised 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 recognised 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 contingent 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 
operations, dental services as well as diagnostic services. The Group also provides diverse primary healthcare, 
special healthcare, child welfare and digital healthcare services for public sector as well as amongst other 
things, massage and rehabilitation services. Terveystalo offers services to three customer groups: corporate 
customers, private customers, and public customers. The Group does not have customers whose revenue 
exceeds 10 percent of the Group's total revenue.
The Group’s customer contracts include primarily one performance obligation, which is typically a single 
appointment, and the transaction prices are mainly fixed. The Group also has customer contracts that include 
multiple performance obligations. 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 performance obligations. The terms of payment and payment periods in customer contracts vary, 
but payment time is nonetheless clearly below one year. Consequently, customer contracts do not include a 
significant financing component. Revenue is recognised 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 recognised 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 recognised 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 
Terveystalo

Corporate Governance
Sustainability statement
Report of the Board of Directors 
Year 2024
Strategy and business
Financial statements

into a single bundle of services. The group also has long-term customer contracts where the delivery of a 
series of distinct services to the customer has the same pattern of transfer. In long-term customer contracts, 
the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits from the service and, consequently, 
the criteria for recognising 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 recognised 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 recognises revenue on a gross basis. 
Fees related to purchasing these services are recognised in materials and services expenses.
2.16 Segment information
The reporting structure reflects Terveystalo's operating model and is aligned with the way the company’s 
chief operating decision maker follows the operational performance of Terveystalo's businesses. The 
reporting structure was changed in the financial year 2023 due to the change in Terveystalo's operating 
model. Terveystalo Group comprises of three operating segments that are reportable segments: 
Healthcare Services, Portfolio Businesses, and Sweden. Monitoring of profitability is primarily based on 
operating segments. In addition, Terveystalo provides disclosure on revenue for Healthcare Services on 
customer and service level, and for Portfolio Businesses on service level. 
Terveystalo’s chief operating decision maker is the CEO who is monitoring the operating results of 
operating segments for the purpose of assessing performance and making decisions about resource 
allocation. Key financial performance measures of the segments comprise primarily revenue and segment 
adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, amortisation and impairment (EBITA). The evaluation of segment 
performance and allocation of resources is primarily based on segment adjusted EBITA, which the 
management estimates the most relevant measure for this purpose.
Healthcare Services offers customers in Finland integrated care paths from preventive occupational health 
services to primary care services and to different fields of specialised care, diagnostic, and day surgery. In 
Healthcare Services, Terveystalo aims for industry-leading profitability and the best care outcomes.
The Portfolio Businesses segment consists of business areas that aim for independent value creation 
utilising Terveystalo’s capabilities according to their needs. The Portfolio Businesses segment include publicly 
funded services, such as outsourcing and staffing services, as well as services aimed at consumers, including 
dental care and massage.
The Sweden segment consists of Feelgood subsidiaries’ operations in Sweden, which are focused on 
occupational health and consultation for organisational management and harmful use. In Sweden, Terveystalo 
aims for profitable growth in the medium and long term.
In addition to operating segments, Terveystalo provides information for Other section. Other reported 
figures mainly consist of parent company expenses as well as unallocated Group level adjustments 
and provisions. 
2.17 Government grants
Government grants are presented in other operating income as far as they do not relate to acquired assets. 
Grants are recognised when there is reasonable assurance that grants will be received, and the Group will 
comply with the conditions 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 adding other operating income to revenue, deducting costs related to materials and services, 
deducting costs related to employee benefits, depreciation, amortisation 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 
share-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 recognised directly in equity 
or in other comprehensive income is also recognised 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.

Financial statements

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets 
and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts in taxation. Deferred tax is not recognised 
in the initial recognition 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 
recognised 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 capitalised customer relationships and 
trademarks, and to provisions related primarily to loss making contracts.
A deferred tax asset is recognised 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.

5. Revenue 
The Group's distribution of revenue is based on three segments: Healthcare Services, Portfolio Businesses, 
and Sweden. For more information on segments, refer to note 4, Segment information. The revenue of 
Healthcare Services is divided by services and customer groups. The revenue of Portfolio Businesses is divided 
by services. Terveystalo offers its primary and outpatient secondary health care services to three distinct 
customer groups: corporate customers, private customers, and public customers. The Group does not have 
customers whose revenue exceeds 10 percent of the Group's total revenue.
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.	
	 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 personalised 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 organisations, such as 
municipalities, municipal federations, and hospital districts, as well as municipal occupational health care 
customers. The services offered to public sector customers include full and partial outsourcings, health care 
staffing services, specialised care services, other health care services, as well as occupational health care 
services for municipalities, municipal federations, and hospital districts.

Global minimum top-up tax (Pillar 2)
Terveystalo Group has prepared calculation on the impacts of Global minimum top-up tax (Pillar 2) 
regulation on the taxation of its Group companies. Besides Finland, the Group has operations in Sweden 
and to a minor extent in Estonia. In Finland and in Sweden effective tax rate is above global 
minimum top-up tax rate of 15%. Therefore the Group is not expecting to pay top tax due to Pillar 2 
minimum top-up tax regulation.

* As a result of the impairment test, EUR 55.3 million write-offs related to goodwill and EUR 29.3 million write-offs to purchase 
price allocations relating to public outsourcing customer relationships within the Portfolio Businesses segment public payor CGU 
were made. The impaired goodwill was recognised mainly in the acquisition of Attendo Healthcare Services in 2018. Customer 
relationship write-offs relate solely to the legacy Outsourcing business, acquired in the Attendo transaction that is gradually being 
phased out. In addition, during the year a EUR 2.0 million impairment of goodwill made related to reorganisation of Portfolio 
businesses in connection to sale of business operations.

16. Impairment testing of cash-generating  
units including goodwill
Goodwill is not amortised but it is tested for impairment at least annually.
Terveystalo Group consists of three operating segments: Healthcare Services, Portfolio Businesses, and 
Sweden. Healthcare Services and Sweden are also cash-generating units. The Portfolio Businesses segment 
includes Public and Private payor cash-generating units. 
Healthcare Services and Sweden consist of units with their own budgets and performance measurement, 
and are centrally managed. Portfolio Businesses are managed as a whole, they partly share resources and are 
centrally managed, but cash flows generated, marketing functions and identifiable assets are different for 
Public and Private payors.
In 2024, based on impairment testing calculations performed, there is no impairment needs to 
goodwill for cash-generating units. For all cash-generating units, recoverable amounts exceeded their 
carrying amounts.
In 2023, as a result of the impairment test, the Group made EUR 55.3 million impairment related to 
goodwill in Portfolio Businesses Public payor cash-generating unit. The impaired goodwill was recognised 
mainly in the acquisition of Attendo Healthcare Services in 2018. After the impairment, the remaining 
goodwill related to Portfolio Businesses Public payor cash-generating unit amounts to EUR 146.4 million in 
total. Based on impairment testing calculations performed, there was no impairment needs to goodwill for 
other cash-generating units. For those cash-generating units, recoverable amounts exceeded their carrying 
amounts.
Goodwill arising from business combinations has been allocated to cash-generating units as shown in the 
table below.

In financial years 2023 and 2024 there were four cash generating units in total. The recoverable amounts 
of the cash-generating 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

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. 
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 units would fall below their carrying amount in Healthcare Services or Portfolio Businesses, Private 
payor cash-generating units. In 2023, Portfolio Businesses, Public payor cash-generating unit value in use was 
equivalent to book value of assets at the time of impairment testing and in consequence sensitivity analysis 
did not apply to this cash-generating unit.
According to the impairment testing, for Portfolio Businesses, Public payor and Sweden cash-generating 
units, changes in critical assumptions presented in table above would lead to carrying amount of assets to be 
equivalent to recoverable amount. Portfolio Businesses, Public payor cash-generating unit’s carrying amount 
of assets at the time of impairment testing was EUR 141.7 million. Sweden cash-generating unit’s carrying 
amount of assets at the time of impairment testing was EUR 55.9 million.

Performance Share Plan 2021
Performance Share Plan 2021 is targeted to Terveystalo’s key employees. The long-term share-based payment 
plan is based on a rolling three year performance period structure, with a new performance period starting 
each year, if so decided by the Board. The Board decides on the participants, performance measures and 
targets as well as earning opportunities on an annual basis. Rewards are conditional on the fulfilment of 
a three-year service condition and performance conditions tied to financial targets that are set separately. 
The reward is granted as a gross number of Terveystalo shares, including a cash portion for taxes and 
tax-related expenses arising from the reward to the employee. The reward is settled as net shares. The 
plan is fully accounted for as an equity settled share-based payment. Under the plan, four performance 
periods, 2021–2023, 2022–2024, 2023-2025 and 2024–2026, have been launched. During the year 2024, 
Performance Period 2021–2023 ended, and, in consequence, the shares earned were granted according to 
realization of the plan’s conditional performance measures. In total, 45,077 net shares were granted. The 
impact of the Performance Period 2021–2023 to the result for the period has been EUR 0.2 million, and the 
total cost of the plan was EUR 2.5 million. 36 persons were included in the Performance Period 2021–2023 
arrangement. The impact of the Performance Period 2022–2024 to the result for the period has been 
EUR 0.4 million, and the expected total cost of the plan is EUR 1.6 million. 43 persons are included in the 
Performance Period 2022–2024 arrangement. The impact of the Performance Period 2023–2025 to the result 
for the period has been EUR 0.5 million, and the expected total cost of the plan is EUR 1.6 million. 48 persons 
are included in the Performance Period 2023–2025 arrangement. The impact of the Performance Period 
2024–2026 to the result for the period has been EUR 0.5 million, and the expected total cost of the plan is

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 realised. 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 1.2 (1.6) 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 management is to minimise 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.

Corporate Governance
Sustainability statement
Report of the Board of Directors 
Year 2024
Strategy and business
Financial statements

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 2024, the Group’s average interest rate for loans from financial institutions has been 4.9 (4.0) 
percent. If the interests would have been one percentage point higher it would have caused an 
increase of EUR 1.6 (2.7) million in interest expenses during the year 2024.
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, 0.48 and 2.92 percent 
interest rate and receives variable interest on EUR 30.0, 50.0 and 50.0 million loan capital.
•	 Interest rate swap agreements based on which the Group pays variable interest rate and receives 
fixed interest on EUR 15.0 and 25.0 million loan capital.
Besides Finland, the Group has operations in Sweden and to a minor extent in Estonia 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 2024, the Group incurred foreign exchange change of EUR -0.0 (0.0) 
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 companies 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’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 Refinancing risk and Liquidity risk
The group aims to ensure sufficient liquidity through efficient cash management and adequate credit 
limits. Refinancing risk is managed through a balanced portfolio that includes loans with sufficiently long 
maturities. 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 93.0 (98.0) million remained 
unused at the reporting date.
The Group has EUR 378.1 million of bank loans and bonds. Uncertainty in financial markets may cause the 
cost of financing needed for the group’s business operations to rise or become more difficult to obtain. The 
Group may not necessarily obtain financing on competitive terms or at all, and it may not be able to fulfill its 
obligations according to the financing arrangements.
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 operating 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 well as through operative decisions on investments and growth, and potential disposals 
of assets in order to reduce liabilities.
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 92.1 (116.0) percent at the reporting date. The ratio is 
calculated by dividing interest bearing net debt with equity. The net debt includes interest bearing liabilities 
less interest bearing receivables and cash and cash equivalents. The Group’s interest bearing liabilities were 
EUR 570.0 (635.8) million at the reporting date. 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 recognised final credit losses and expected credit losses on trade 
receivables and contract assets through the statement of income totaling EUR 1.9 (2.1) million. Impairment 
loss provision is based on a simplified approach. Estimated impairment 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.
Based on the Group’s view, the carrying amount of trade receivables corresponds to the maximum credit 
risk if the contractual parties are unable to meet their obligations related to trade receivables.
The fair value of other receivables and prepaid expenses corresponds with their carrying amount.

Distributable funds
On 31 December 2024, the distributable funds of the parent company totalled EUR 558.9 million including 
the profit of the financial period 2024 of EUR 61.0 million. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual 
General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.48 (0.30) per share totalling EUR 60.8 (38.0) million be paid 
based on the statement of financial position adopted for the financial year ended on 31 December 2024. The 
dividend would be paid in two instalments as follows: 
•	 The first dividend installment of EUR 0.24 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 installment on 10 April 2025. The Board of Directors proposes that the first dividend 
installment would be paid on 17 April 2025.
•	 The second dividend installment of EUR 0.24 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 8 October 2025. The Board of Directors proposes that the second 
dividend installment would be paid on 15 October 2025. 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. 
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.

Terveystalo Plc's Board of Directors has approved a new performance 
period covering years 2025–2027 of the long-term share-based 
incentive plan for key personnel
Terveystalo Plc's Board of Directors has approved a new performance period covering the years 2025–2027 
of the long-term share-based incentive plan for key personnel. 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 implementing Terveystalo's strategy by offering them a competitive, share-based 
incentive program.
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. The Board decides on 
the participants, performance measures, and targets as well as earning opportunities on an annual basis. 
Terveystalo published the establishment of the program and its main terms in a stock exchange release on 3 
December 2020.
Performance Period 2025–2027 of the Performance  
Share Plan (PSP)
During the performance period 2025–2027, the participants are awarded for successful shareholder value 
creation. The performance indicators based on which share rewards may be paid to 90% of the participants 
are absolute and relative (compared to the OMX HKI benchmark CAP GI index) Total Shareholder Return. For 
10% of the participants, the value creation is measured by EBITA (adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, and 
amortization) of the business area or independent business that they lead.
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 2025–2027 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 achieved. The maximum number of shares to be paid based on this plan is 700,000 shares. 
Taxes and tax-like payments to the recipient are deducted from the reward, after which the remaining net 
amount is paid to the participants in shares.
No more than approximately 80 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 2025–2027of the Restricted Share Plan (RSP)
The purpose of the Restricted Share Plan is to function 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 70,000 shares.

Accounting policies of parent company’s financial statements
The financial statements of Terveystalo Plc 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 
deductions. 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
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, 2024. The financial statements 
comprise the consolidated balance sheet, statement of 
comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity, 
statement of cash flows and notes, including material 
accounting policy information, as well as the parent 
company’s balance sheet, income statement, statement 
of cash flows and notes.
In our opinion
•	 the consolidated financial statements give a true and 
fair view of the group’s financial position, financial 
performance and cash flows in accordance with IFRS 
Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU
•	 the financial statements give a true and fair view 
of the parent company’s financial performance 
and financial position 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.
Basis for Opinion
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.
In 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 regulation (EU) 537/2014. 
The non-audit services that we have provided have 
been disclosed in note 10 to the consolidated 
financial statements.
To the Annual General Meeting of Terveystalo Plc
We believe that the audit evidence we have 
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion.
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 and/or possible misstatements that in 
our opinion are material for qualitative reasons for the 
users of the financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
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.
This document is an English translation of the Finnish auditor’s report. 
Only the Finnish version of the report is legally binding.

The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in the audit
Valuation of Goodwill and acquisition related Intangible Assets 
(Accounting Principles for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes 3, 15 and 16)
•	 At the year-end 2024 the goodwill amounted to 829 M€ 
and accounted for 59 % of the consolidated total assets 
and for 151 % of the consolidated equity. 
•	 The acquisition-related recognised assets for customer 
relationships and trademark and at the year-end 2024 
were in total 50 M€. 
•	 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.
•	 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.
•	 We assessed the key assumptions used in the 
impairment tests, such as profitability, discount 
rate and long-term growth rate. To analyse the 
forecasts, we applied professional judgement in 
testing the key assumptions and assessing the 
resulting effects on the sensitivity analysis. 
•	 We assessed the appropriateness of the 
assumptions used and the technical accuracy of 
the calculations. This included a comparison to 
external market and industry forecasts.
•	 In addition, we considered the appropriateness 
of the disclosures in respect of goodwill, 
impairment testing and acquisition related 
intangible assets.
The key audit matter
How the matter was addressed in the audit
Revenue Recognition  
(Accounting Principles for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Note 5)
•	 The consolidated revenue for 2024 amounted to 1.340 M€ 
and consist of numerous types of individual service 
transactions generated to various customer 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 evaluated 
the sales-related internal control environment 
and the key controls. We also performed 
substantive audit procedures.
•	 We tested the processes to record sales 
transactions as well as the sales pricing 
and invoicing processes. We assessed the 
appropriateness of the revenue recognition for 
the sales transactions. 
•	 We assessed the IT systems relevant for 
revenue recognition.
•	 We considered the appropriateness of the 
disclosures presented for revenue in the 
consolidated financial statements.
 We have not identified key audit matters relating to the parent company’s financial statements.

Year 2024

Financial statements

Responsibilities of the Board 
of Directors and the Managing 
Director for the Financial 
Statements 
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director 
are responsible for the preparation of consolidated 
financial statements that give a true and fair view 
in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards 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 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 are responsible 
for assessing the parent company’s and the group’s 
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, 
as applicable, matters 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 professional skepticism 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 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 statements give a true and 
fair view.
•	 Plan and perform the group audit to obtain 
sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the 
financial information of the entities or business units 
within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on 
the group financial statements. We are responsible 
for the direction, supervision and review of the audit 
work performed for purposes 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 requirements 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 matter 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.

Other Reporting Requirements
Information on our audit 
engagement
We have acted as auditors appointed by the Annual 
General Meeting uninterrupted for thirteen years. 
Terveystalo Plc became a public interest entity on 
13 October 2017.
Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director 
are responsible for the other information. The other 
information comprises the report of the Board 
of Directors and the information included in the 
Annual Report, but does not include the financial 
statements or our auditor’s report thereon. 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 compliance with the applicable provisions, 
excluding the sustainability report information on which 
there are provisions in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act 
and in the sustainability reporting standards.
In our opinion, the information in the report of the 
Board of Directors is consistent with the information in 
the financial statements and the report of the Board 
of Directors has been prepared in compliance with the 
applicable provisions. Our opinion does not cover the 
sustainability report information on which there are 
provisions in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and in the 
sustainability reporting standards.
If, based on the work we have performed on the 
other information, 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.

Assurance Report on the Sustainability Report
We have performed a limited assurance engagement 
on the group sustainability report of Terveystalo Plc 
(business identity code 2575979–3) that is referred to in 
Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act and that is included in 
the report of the Board of Directors for the financial year 
1.1.–31.12.2024.
Opinion
Based on the procedures we have performed and the 
evidence we have obtained, nothing has come to our 
attention that causes us to believe that the group 
sustainability report does not comply, in all material 
respects, with
1) the requirements laid down in Chapter 7 of the 
Accounting Act and the sustainability reporting 
standards (ESRS);
2) the requirements laid down in Article 8 of the 
Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council on the establishment 
of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, 
and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 
(EU Taxonomy).
Point 1 above also contains the process in which 
Terveystalo Plc has identified the information for 
reporting in accordance with the sustainability 
reporting standards (double materiality assessment) 
and the tagging of information as referred to in Chapter 
7, Section 22 of the Accounting Act.
Our opinion does not cover the tagging of 
the group sustainability report with digital XBRL 
sustainability tags in accordance with Chapter 7, 
Section 22, Subsection 1(2), of the Accounting Act, 
because sustainability reporting companies have not 
had the possibility to comply with that provision in 
the absence of the ESEF regulation or other European 
Union legislation.
Basis for Opinion
We performed the assurance of the group sustainability 
report as a limited assurance engagement in 
compliance with good assurance practice in Finland 
and with the International Standard on Assurance 
Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) Assurance 
Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of 
Historical Financial Information. 
Our responsibilities under this standard are further 
described in the Responsibilities of the Authorised 
Sustainability Auditor section of our report.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained 
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion.
To the Annual General Meeting of Terveystalo Plc
Other Matter
We draw attention to the fact that the group 
sustainability report of Terveystalo Plc that is referred to 
in Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act has been prepared 
and assurance has been provided for it for the first time 
for the financial year 1.1.–31.12.2024. Our opinion does 
not cover the comparative information that has been 
presented in the group sustainability report. Our opinion 
is not modified in respect of this matter.
Authorised group sustainability 
auditor's Independence and 
Quality Management
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 engagement, and we have fulfilled 
our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with 
these requirements.
The authorised group sustainability auditor applies 
International Standard on Quality Management ISQM 
1, which requires the authorised sustainability audit 
firm to design, implement and operate a system of 
quality management including policies or procedures 
regarding compliance with ethical requirements, 
professional standards and applicable legal and 
regulatory requirements.
Responsibilities of the 
Board of Directors and the 
Managing Director
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director of 
Terveystalo Plc are responsible for:
•	 the group sustainability report and for its 
preparation and presentation in accordance with 
the provisions of Chapter 7 of the Accounting Act, 
including the process that has been defined in the 
sustainability reporting standards and in which 
the information for reporting in accordance with 
the sustainability reporting standards has been 
identified as well as the tagging of information 
as referred to in Chapter 7, Section 22 of the 
Accounting Act and
•	 the compliance of the group sustainability report 
with the requirements laid down in Article 8 of 
the Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European 
Parliament and of the Council on the establishment 
of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, 
and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088;
•	 such internal control as the Board of Directors and 
the Managing Director determine is necessary to 
enable the preparation of a group sustainability 
report that is free from material misstatement, 
whether due to fraud or error.

Inherent Limitations 
in the Preparation of 
a Sustainability Report
Preparation of the sustainability report requires 
Company to make materiality assessment to identify 
relevant matters to report. This includes significant 
management judgement and choices. It is also 
characteristic to the sustainability reporting that 
reporting of this kind of information includes estimates 
and assumptions as well as measurement and 
estimation uncertainty. Furthermore, when reporting 
forward looking information company has to disclose 
assumptions related to potential future events and 
describe Company´s possible future actions in relation 
to these events. Actual outcome may differ as forecasted 
events do not always occur as expected.
Responsibilities of the Authorised 
Group Sustainability Auditor
Our responsibility is to perform an assurance 
engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether 
the group sustainability report is free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue 
a limited assurance report that includes our opinion. 
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 
decisions of users taken on the basis of the group 
sustainability report.
Compliance with the International Standard on 
Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised) requires 
that we exercise professional judgment and maintain 
professional skepticism throughout the engagement. 
We also:
•	 Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement 
of the group sustainability report, whether due 
to fraud or error, and obtain an understanding of 
internal control relevant to the engagement in order 
to design assurance 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. 
•	 Design and perform assurance procedures 
responsive to those risks to obtain 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.
Description of the Procedures 
That Have Been Performed
The procedures performed in a limited assurance 
engagement vary in nature and timing from, and 
are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance 
engagement. The nature, timing and extent of 
assurance procedures selected depend on professional 
judgment, including the assessment of risks of 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 
Consequently, the level of assurance obtained in a 
limited assurance engagement is substantially lower 
than the assurance that would have been obtained had 
a reasonable assurance engagement been performed. 
Our procedures included for ex. the following:
•	 We interviewed Terveystalo’s management and 
persons responsible for the preparation and 
gathering of the sustainability information.
•	 We familiarised with interviews to the key processes 
related to collecting and consolidating the 
sustainability information.
•	 We got acquainted with the relevant guidances and 
policies related to the sustainability information 
disclosed in the sustainability report.
•	 We acquainted ourselves to the background 
documentation and other records prepared by 
the Company, as appropriate and assessed how 
they support the information included in the 
sustainability report.
•	 In relation to the double materiality assessment 
process, we interviewed persons responsible for the 
process and familiarised ourselves with the process 
description prepared of the double materiality 
assessment and other documentation and 
background materials.
•	 In relation to the EU taxonomy information we 
interviewed the management of the company 
and persons with key roles in reporting taxonomy 
information to understand/examine how taxonomy 
eligible and taxonomy aligned activities have been 
identified, we obtained evidence supporting the 
interviews and reconciled the reported EU taxonomy 
information to supporting documents and to the 
bookkeeping, as applicable.
•	 We assessed the application of the ESRS 
sustainability reporting standards reporting 
principles in the presentation of the sustainability 
information.

Environmental Appendix 
Sustainable consumption 
and climate action 
Based on the results of the double materiality 
assessment, climate change is not one of Terveystalo’s 
material sustainability themes. However, for the 
sake of transparency and the continuity of reporting, 
Terveystalo continues to voluntarily report information 
related to its key environmental impacts in this 
Environment Appendix of the Annual Report, but 
Terveystalo does not adhere to the requirements of 
the ESRS environmental standards with respect to the 
disclosures in question. The information included in the 
Environmental Appendix has not been assured.
Terveystalo is committed to the targets agreed upon 
at international climate summits for the mitigation of 
climate change. Terveystalo’s goal is zero emissions from 
its own operations in 2030. Terveystalo has committed 
to the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and will set 
science-based short- and long-term emissions reduction 
targets by 2027. Terveystalo promotes the conservation 
and sustainable use of natural resources in its supply 
chains by minimising the generation of waste in all of 
its operations and forwarding all waste to be recovered. 
Terveystalo’s digital services enable Terveystalo to 
simultaneously improve access to care and reduce the 
emissions generated by unnecessary travel.
Terveystalo’s environmental policy 
Terveystalo Group’s environmental policy describes 
the environmental principles that all employees, 
managers, officials, board members, consultants and 
other personnel working under the management 
of Terveystalo Group are expected to follow. 
Terveystalo operates in line with the principles of 
sustainable development in order to reduce and 
eliminate environmental risks. In addition to being 
committed to the Group’s environmental policy, 
Terveystalo is committed to full compliance with the 
applicable legislation, the regulations issued by the 
authorities, industry operating practices that ensure 
occupational safety and patient safety, and the 
continuous improvement of environmentally friendly 
operating practices. 
Adverse environmental impacts are prevented, 
among other things, by reducing energy consumption 
and by transitioning to renewable energy or nuclear 
power, reducing the amount of waste generated and 
increasing the recycling rate, optimizing the lifecycle 
of healthcare equipment, considering environmental 
aspects in travel and car policies, and developing 
digital services. Adverse environmental impacts are 
also prevented through planned pharmaceutical 
management, route optimization for mobile units, taking 
sustainability perspectives into account in centralized 
procurement, network, and business premises projects, 
as well as with efficient inventory management.
Terveystalo's environmental management system 
covers all locations within the Healthcare Services 
segment (a total of 203 units) in Finland, and its 
appropriateness is assessed in quality and environmental 
system audits. Terveystalo's environmental management 
system and all the locations of Healthcare Services 
segment are certified according to the ISO 14001 
standard. Other locations follow the same practices 
and the environmental management system, even if 
they are not directly covered by the certificate. The 
standard provides a framework for the continuous 
development of processes and practices that minimize 
negative environmental impacts. In 2024, Terveystalo's 
quality and environmental management systems were 
recertified to cover the years 2025–2027. Most (90 
percent) of the locations under Feelgood's own control in 
Sweden are also certified according to ISO 14001:2015.
Zero emissions from own 
operations in 2030
Terveystalo’s goal is to reduce its carbon footprint so that 
its own operations will generate zero emissions in 2030. 
A further goal was also to reduce direct and indirect CO2 
emissions (Scope 1 and 2) by 80 percent by 2025 (from 
the 2018 level). Terveystalo did not achieve this target. 
This was largely because Terveystalo does not manage 
nor have control over the properties of all its locations, 
so they could not be centralized into Terveystalo's 
electricity portfolio. As regards energy consumption, 
the goal was for the share of green electricity in the 
electricity purchased to be 100 percent by 2025 in the 
units where Terveystalo purchases the electricity itself. 
This goal was already achieved in 2020, when Terveystalo 
switched to using green electricity in the centralized 
electricity portfolio. The recycling and recovery of waste 
was another key theme in environmental responsibility, 
with the goal being to minimise waste in all operations. 
The indicators used for this are the recovery rate and 
recycling rate of waste generated at Terveystalo’s 
units. The recycling rate-related goal was not achieved, 
as Terveystalo does not manage the properties and 
recycling opportunities at all its locations. Additionally, 
obtaining reliable waste data is challenging due to 
varying recycling possibilities.
Terveystalo has committed to the Science Based 
Targets initiative and will set science-based emissions 
reduction targets by 2027. These emissions reduction 
targets will cover both the short and long term and 
will include both direct and indirect greenhouse 
gas emissions. The short-term emissions reduction 
targets will include the current target set for 2030. 
Additionally, the target will include a portion (at least 
67 percent) of identified indirect Scope 3 emissions in 
accordance with the Science Based Targets initiative. 
The long-term targets will be set for 2050 in accordance 
with the initiative and will cover at least 95 percent of 
Terveystalo’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions and 90 percent of 
indirect Scope 3 emissions.

1) Scope 2 emissions are calculated as market based. The market-based Scope 2 emissions calculation considers the green electricity guarantees of origin purchased by Terveystalo, which in 2024 covered approximately 73 (70) percent of the electricity consumption. The 
emissions of the remaining purchased electricity have been calculated using the residual mix emission factors for Finland and Sweden (AIB, European Residual Mixes). Finland's residual emission factor in 2024 was 0.565 kgCO2e/kWh. Sweden’s residual factor increased by 75 
percent from 2023 (Sweden’s residual emission factor in 2023 was 0.039 kgCO2e/kWh and in 2024 0.068 kgCO2e/kWh). The reported figures for 2024 are not directly comparable to previous years, as those also include emissions from vehicles used in imaging.

Terveystalo’s carbon footprint
In 2024, Terveystalo's carbon footprint in Finland, 
including Scope 1 and 2 emissions (market-based), 
was 2,737.6 (2,716.0) tCO2e (tons of carbon dioxide 
equivalent). In Sweden, Feelgood's operations had 
Scope 1 and 2 emissions totalling 26.0 (39.4) tCO2e. 
In 2024, Terveystalo assessed its Scope 3 emissions as 
spend-based for the first time. The Scope 3 emissions 
in 2024 were estimated to be approximately 53,900 
tCO2e, including both Finnish and Swedish operations. 
Terveystalo's carbon footprint mainly consists of 
emissions from the production of electricity consumed 
by properties, transportation, IT equipment, travel, 
waste generated at hospitals and clinics, and healthcare 
equipment and goods procurement. Emissions from 
operations are reduced, for instance, by increasingly 
switching to only green electricity, favouring 
low-emission vehicles, and considering environmental 
aspects in procurement. Terveystalo is developing its 
impact measurement across the entire value chain 
and working with key suppliers to reduce emissions 
generated in the value chain.
Terveystalo reports direct (Scope 1) and indirect 
(Scope 2) greenhouse gas emissions from its operations, 
as well as all relevant categories of indirect Scope 3 
emissions for Terveystalo's business. The reported 
emission data have not been verified by a third party. 
Terveystalo acknowledges that the calculation of Scope 3 
emissions is not perfect, and will refine these calculations 
in the coming years.
Scope 1
Terveystalo does not primarily own or manage the 
properties in which it operates, so direct greenhouse 
gas emissions mainly consist of emissions from the 
vehicle fleet managed by Terveystalo and vehicles 
used for imaging purposes. Emissions from own and 
company-controlled journeys are calculated based on 
fuel consumption or kilometres driven. Of the calculated 
emissions, 15.7 percent have been estimated by using 
Finland's average fuel price coefficients (euros/litre). In 
2024, Scope 1 CO2 emissions in Finland totalled 103.7 
(137.5) tCO2e. In Sweden, Scope 1 emissions were 2.6 
(18.2) tCO2e. The reported Scope 1 emissions for 2024 are 
not directly comparable to previous years, as the scope 
of reporting has been refined.
Scope 2
IIndirect Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions arise from 
the company’s electric cars consumption and from the 
production of electricity purchased by Terveystalo. In 
2024, a total of 16,586 (16,171) MWh of electricity was 
purchased for properties controlled by Terveystalo in 
Finland and 16,2 MWh of electricity was purchased for 
company’s electric cars. Since the beginning of 2020, 
the company’s electricity portfolio (electricity purchased 
for properties) has consisted of renewable energy 
or nuclear-generated electricity ("green electricity"). 
In Finland, the green electricity purchased for the 
consumption year 2024 was 11,927 (11,220) MWh, 
which corresponds to approximately 72 (69) percent 
of the company’s electricity consumption in its Finnish 
operations. The amount of electricity purchased for 
properties outside the company’s green electricity 
portfolio was 4,659 (4,951) MWh, which corresponds 
to 2,633.9 (2,578.5) tCO2e (market-based) Scope 2 
emissions. In Sweden, Feelgood’s operations purchased 
1,751 (2,081) MWh of electricity for managed properties, 
of which about 80 (74) percent was green electricity. 
Market-based Scope 2 emissions from purchased 
electricity and electric car charging in Sweden were 
23.4 (21.2) tCO2e. The increase in market-based Scope 
2 emissions in Sweden is mainly due to a 75 percent 
increase in the residual mix emission factor used in the 
emission calculation for Sweden's electricity production 
from the previous year.  
Scope 3
For indirect Scope 3 emissions, Terveystalo reports the 
following relevant categories in accordance with the 
GHG Protocol:
1.	
Purchased goods and services
2.	 Capital goods
3.	 Fuel- and energy-related activities not included in 
Scope 1 and 2 calculations
4.	 Upstream transportation and distribution
5.	
Waste generated in operations
6.	 Business travel
7.	
Employee commuting
8.	 Leased assets
Most of the Scope 3 emission categories are calculated 
as spend-based. Emissions from IT equipment under 
category "1. Purchased goods and services" are 
calculated on a product-specific basis. Categories "5. 
Waste generated in operations," "6. Business travel," 
and "7. Employee commuting" are calculated based 
on quantity, consumption, or weight. Category "7. 
Employee commuting" does not include employees' 
travel to offices. Terveystalo aims to refine the reported 
Scope 3 emissions in the coming years.
Terveystalo strives to avoid unnecessary work-related 
travel by favouring remote meetings whenever possible. 
In 2024, Terveystalo’s personnel in Finland accumulated 
0.8 (0.8) million flight kilometres, corresponding 
to 110.6 (85.5) tons of CO2e in Scope 3 emissions. 
Reimbursable work-related travel by Terveystalo’s 
personnel in Finland totalled 2.8 (2.7) million kilometres, 
corresponding to 462.3 (448.2) tons of CO2e in Scope 
3 emissions. Terveystalo encourages its personnel 
to choose low-emission vehicles as company cars. 
The average emissions of the company cars used by 
Terveystalo in Finland amounted to 27 (64) g CO2e/
km. In Sweden, the work-related travel by air generated 
41.6 (60.8) tons of CO2e. The total emissions from work-
related travel by the personnel in Sweden amounted to 
232.0 (260.4) tons of CO2e.
Terveystalo aims to minimize the generation of 
mixed waste in all its operations and to ensure that as 
much waste as possible is utilized. Indirect emissions 
from waste (considering Terveystalo locations where 
waste fraction data is available) in Finland were 
36.0 (44.0) tons of CO2e. In Sweden, the amount of 
waste generated and emissions from waste are very 
low since waste is mainly generated in offices. The 
emissions arising from waste in Sweden totalled 
1.4 (3.4) tons of CO2e.

The reported figures for 2024 are not directly comparable to previous years, as those also include emissions from vehicles used in imaging.
Scope 2 emissions are calculated as market-based and location-based. The market-based Scope 2 emission calculation considers the 
green electricity guarantees of origin purchased by Terveystalo, which in 2024 covered approximately 73 (70) percent of the electricity 
consumption. The emissions of the remaining purchased electricity have been calculated using the residual mix emission factors for 
Finland and Sweden (AIB, European Residual Mixes). Finland's residual emission factor in 2024 was 0.565 kgCO2e/kWh. Sweden’s residual 
factor increased by 75 percent from 2023 (Sweden’s residual emission factor in 2023 was 0.039 kgCO2e/kWh and in 2024 0.068 kgCO2e/
kWh). In the calculation of location-based Scope 2 emissions, the emission factors (IEA Emissions Factors) of the average electricity 
production in Finland and Sweden have been used for Terveystalo’s total electricity consumption, i.e. the guarantees of origin of green 
electricity purchased by Terveystalo have not been taken into account. In 2024, Scope 2 emissions also include the electricity consumed 
by the company's electric vehicles.

Previously, categories "6. Business travel" and "7. Employee commuting" were reported together under the heading "Employee travel." 
The reported emissions from waste in 2024 are not directly comparable to previous years, as the 2024 data covers waste emissions more 
comprehensively. The emission data for Finland's "5. Waste" category for the years 2023 and 2022 has been revised to reflect actual 
figures. Previously reported figures: 2023: 42.6 tCO2e and 2022: 41.7 tCO2e. 
The total figure for reported Scope 3 emissions in 2024 is not comparable to previous years, as it covers Terveystalo's indirect Scope 3
