Valio's owner administration comprises the Annual General Meeting, Supervisory Board, Board of Directors, and Division Boards.
Valio is owned by 22 dairy co-operatives which are communities of Finnish milk producers that collect or process milk.
Owners
Valio has around 10,000 milk producers in whom Valio's ownership is personified. The producers are members (owners) of their own dairy co-operatives, and these co-operatives in turn own the shares of Valio Ltd.
Milk producers elect representatives to the decision-making bodies of their co-operative, who in turn elect representatives to the Annual General Meeting of Valio Ltd. The Annual General Meeting elects Valio's Supervisory Board whose members - other than four personnel representatives - are milk producers. The Supervisory Board elects the Board of Directors and the Board elects the CEO.
