Member of Neste Board of Directors resigns

Heike van de Kerkhof, member of the Board of Directors of Neste, has as of today
resigned from the Board of Directors, as she will become employed by BP in the
United Kingdom at the beginning of next year. BP is engaged in business
operations competing with Neste.

The Shareholders' Nomination Board and the Board of Directors have assessed that
the Board will remain functional despite van de Kerkhof's departure, and that
the Board's composition will continue to meet the requirements set in the
articles of association. The  Shareholders' Nomination Board will provide its
proposal on the composition of the Board in January based on which proposal a
decision will be made in the Annual General Meeting of Neste on 5 April 2018.

The Board has among its members elected  Laura Raitio to replace van de Kerkhof
as a member of the Personnel and Remuneration Committee. Raitio will also
continue to be a member of the Audit Committee.

"Neste's position is strong now that renewable solutions are required in other
areas as well as the transport sector, for example in the chemical industry and
aviation. I am happy and thankful to have had this opportunity to help build its
success, even if only for a short time," says Heike van de Kerkhof.

"Despite having served on the Neste Board of Directors for just eight months,
Heike van de Kerkhof's expertise and extensive experience in chemical
engineering and the industry have helped Neste in developing its business. I
thank her for her contribution and wish her every success in her future
endeavors," says Jorma Eloranta, Chair of Neste's Board of Directors.
