Caverion’s quality work recognised in the Excellence Finland competition 

Oy Botnia Mill Service Ab, which is part of Caverion, has won the Finnish quality award. The award is a national recognition of excellence that the Finnish Quality Association grants annually through its external assessments to the most successful organisations that have reached the top level. The award was presented at a ceremony on 1 December 2016. Botnia Mill Service already participated in the competition in 2014, at which point it received the four-star Excellence Finland recognition.

The Excellence Finland competition is about finding the best organisations in the country and awarding those that have been the most successful in implementing their strategy and improving their performance. In the competition, the organisations are assessed by independent experts and ranked on the basis of the EFQM Excellence model. The assessment areas cover all operations of the organisation as well as the results it has achieved.
