Management system
TVO’s mission, vision, strategic goals, business model, values, Code of Conduct, and company-level policies give direction to all of its operations. TVO uses an activity-based management system, which determines the procedures to be used to ensure safe electricity production.
Operations are developed according to the principles of continuous improvement. The management process aims at practical strategic and operative steering that ensures the realization of both short- and long-term goals as well as motivated and efficient operation of the organization. A strategy that is sensitive to the customers’ needs and changes in the company’s operating environment guides the preparation of visions, strategies, plans, and objectives of the business units and service operations. The procedures described within the activity-based management system guide the work of all TVO employees and partners working at Olkiluoto.
The system covers production operations at the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant, the maintenance and development of production capacity, the construction of additional production capacity, as well as related steering and resourcing operations. The system meets the requirements of international quality management, environmental and health and safety standards, and has been certified by DNV GL Business Assurance Finland Oy Ab. The general part of the activity-based management system also acts as the licensee’s quality management system approved by the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK). Implementation, effectiveness, and efficiency of the system are regularly monitored with internal audits and management reviews.
