Strategy

 

As climate change, the energy transition, inequality and the tightened global security situation reshape and challenge societies, we must better understand how and in what ways the use of radiation and nuclear energy affects them. We need to consider, in a balanced way, the benefits and risks that radiation and nuclear energy pose to society, the environment and people.

Mission

Vision

Radiation and nuclear energy have been harnessed in our society to create benefits. At STUK, we 
promote the safe use of radiation and nuclear energy and work together with various actors to ensure that radiation can be used safely, and that people can live safely with it.

Objectives

We create radiation-safe wellbeing by contributing to overall security. We provide people with the information they need and strengthen their sense of safety. As an authority, we are proactive and capable of renewal. To generate wellbeing in society, we must also take care of our foundation – the wellbeing of our own agency.

A responsible contributor to comprehensive security

We are part of society and contribute to the safety of Finnish society together with other actors. When we do our work well, people do not need to worry about radiation in everyday life or in exceptional situations.

As a contributor to overall security, STUK operates on three levels:

• We supervise that operators take care of the safety of radiation and nuclear energy use. In supervision, it is essential that we direct our efforts to where risks are significant, and that regulations support such risk informed oversight.
• We prepare to operate in exceptional situations in cooperation with others.
• We influence internationally on issues important to Finland and the safety of our neighbouring regions.

A forward-looking and innovative authority

We work to be continuously better at anticipating developments. We regularly monitor changes in our operating environment and share our understanding of the situation.

STUK is an expert authority, and everything we do is based on data collection, analysis, knowledge-based decision-making and communication. We use information increasingly effectively and develop our practices and information systems based on customer needs.

A healthy agency

A healthy agency forms the basis for all STUK’s activities. The foundations of our work are high professional competence, a happy community, strong trust and sustainable finances.
Professional competence is based on expertise and the ability to use it effectively. As STUK, we must strengthen future-oriented competence management.

To be a happy community, we must consider both individual needs and the needs of the work community and together find new ways to strengthen our sense of community.
A happy community also means equality, inclusion and diversity.

Trust is a fundamental prerequisite for our activities. In an uncertain world, we must maintain trust in everything we do and observe how it changes.

We work to keep our finances on a sustainable footing. We act wisely and enable continuous development.

Every STUK employee contributes to building a well-functioning and well-being agency.
