Turku Group’s Subsidiaries and Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries
OWNERSHIP POLICY OF THE CITY OF TURKU
Ownership policy is the city’s instrument for strategic management, with which it aims to promote systematic functioning, keeping the value of assets, and consistency in decision-making in the Turku group.
Turku group has about 67 subsidiaries. Municipal wholly-owned subsidiaries refer to the entities where the municipality alone, or together with the other entities of the municipal concern, have authority. The most important and significant ones of them have been named as strategic entities at the City (26 in total, and they are presented more precisely by business areas and companies below.)
The City of Turku also has a considerable number of so-called associated companies (share 20 - 50 %). A wholly-owned associated company is a company where the municipality, alone or together with other entities belonging to the municipal group, have a considerable share and significant influence. Some of the wholly-owned associated communities have been named as strategic entities, even though the city does not have authority in them.
Furthermore, the city has numerous other ownerships (share max. 20 %), most of which are minority holdings in e.g. small housing and joint-stock property companies.
The City group is managed and supervised by the City Board, but it has delegated a part of its jurisdiction to the Concern Section, whose responsibility is to take care of defining and monitoring the operational and economic objectives of the entities defined as strategic entities. The Section also monitors that the operational policies of these entities are consistent with the City’s objectives. The Concern Section uses the Mayor’s demonstration to prepare the naming of the governing body members for the strategic entities and works as the Nomination Committee for the administrations’ strategic entities.
