These governing bodies are the General Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors and the President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Further, the Executive Board, operating under the authority of the CEO, has been formed for the efficient management of the company.

Outotec follows the new Finnish Corporate Governance Code ("Code") for listed companies issued by the Securities Market Association in 2015. The Corporate Governance Code is based on listed companies' self-regulation and it complements the statutory procedures. The aim of the Code is to harmonize practices of the Finnish listed companies' corporate governance as well as the information given to shareholders and other investors.

The Code is available on the Securities Market Association homepage at www.cgfinland.fi.
