Metso Corporation's press release on December 13(th), 2016 at 10:00 a.m. EET
Heljo Laukkala, Vice President, Risk Management at Metso, has been granted
recognition as Risk Manager of the Year in Brussels, Belgium.
The award was presented to Laukkala by the Federation of European Risk
Management Associations (FERMA) together with Commercial Risk Europe on December
6(th), 2016. The Excellence in Risk Management Awards were organized for the
first time to honor outstanding individuals for their achievements in the field
of risk management.
"I sincerely appreciate this award. Being recognized like this would not have
been possible without the outstanding network of Metso risk management
professionals and the Finnish risk management association with whom I am
privileged to work," Laukkala says.
In recent years, Metso has set up a solid foundation and effective processes for
managing different types of risks. All risk management operations are aligned
with the company's strategy and business objectives, supporting the continuity
of operations, improving people's safety and contributing to overall
competitiveness.
"Risk management in our continuously changing operating environment requires
constant monitoring and effective networking with multiple stakeholders. For
example, nowadays proactive monitoring of the world's political situation has
become more and more important. In addition, cyber security is definitely one of
the emerging issues that will need more attention in the future," says Laukkala,
commenting on the changing landscape of risk management.
Laukkala joined Metso in 2002. He previously worked in the Finnish Defense
Forces in international assignments. Laukkala has headed Metso's risk management
organization since 2004.
