Municipalities have a statutory obligation, within their own operations, to promote wellbeing, health and safety. In municipal strategic planning, achievable objectives and measures must be set to promote wellbeing, health and safety.
The legal framework for promoting wellbeing and health (HYTE) and safety (HYTETU) in Finland is defined by the following legislation:
Promotion of wellbeing and health is intended for residents of all ages – children, young people, working‑age adults and older people – who participate individually, as families or as part of a group.
