Owners
Valio has around 8,500 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.
