OP Cooperative's Supervisory Council

The management of the central cooperative consolidated is based on the control and supervision by the Supervisory Council.

Without prejudice to the supervisory obligation of the Board of Directors, the general duties of the Supervisory Council under the Co-operatives Act include supervising the governance of the central cooperative which is managed by and the responsibility of the Board of Directors and the CEO acting as the President and Group Chief Executive Officer.

The Supervisory Council appoints Board members of the central cooperative and OP Financial Group’s CEO acting as the President and Group Chief Executive Officer and their deputy. In appointing the Board members and the President and Group Chief Executive Officer, the Supervisory Council receives assistance from the Supervisory Council Nomination Committee, which consists of the Chair and Vice Chair of the OP Financial Group Nomination Committee, the Chair and first Vice Chair of the Supervisory Council and the Chair and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors.

The Charter of the Supervisory Council defines other Council duties in more detail.

The Supervisory Council comprises 36 members appointed by the Cooperative Meeting. The Supervisory Council has a Chair and two Vice Chairs, who together with the Chair and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors and the President and Group Chief Executive Officer form the OP Cooperative's Committee of Chairs. The Committee of Chairs is a preparatory body, whose task is to coordinate the work of the Supervisory Council and the Board of Directors and to prepare Supervisory Council meetings.

The Supervisory Council may also set other preparatory bodies to prepare matters discussed at a Supervisory Council meeting. The Supervisory Council has set up a Strategy Unit and a Responsibility and Remuneration Unit.
