Neste Oil to change its organization and the composition of the Neste Executive
Board

Neste Oil is to change its structure and organization, in response to
developments that have taken place in its businesses and operating environment
in recent years.

"Neste Oil has changed rapidly over the last couple of years and this has
created a need to change our internal organization," says President & CEO Matti
Lievonen. "By updating our organization and top-level responsibilities, we want
to clarify and streamline the way we manage our businesses and improve our
customer focus and our ability to react to changes in our markets."

The Oil Products and Renewable Products businesses have been represented by one
executive vice president on the Neste Executive Board (NEB) up until now, but
will now be led by their own executive vice presidents in the revamped Neste Oil
organization. The production functions of both businesses will also now become
the direct responsibility of each business. Production & Logistics, which
previously managed these activities, will cease existence as a separate
organization. Logistics will be managed by Oil Products. These changes will not
affect Neste Oil's reporting segments, which remain: Oil Products, Renewable
Products, Oil Retail, and Others.

Two new members have also been appointed to the Neste Executive Board (NEB) as
part of these changes and various changes have been made to the responsibilities
of some of the other members of the NEB. All these changes will come into effect
as of 16 June, with the exception of the change in the leadership of Oil Retail,
which will take place later.

Matti Lehmus (M.Sc. (Eng.), 40) has been appointed Executive Vice President, Oil
Products. He was previously responsible for Oil Products & Renewables. Matti
Lehmus has a long career in Neste Oil and its predecessors and has extensive
expertise of international sales and marketing management in the petroleum
products and renewable fuels fields in particular.

Renewable Products will receive a more independent role as a result of the
changes, reflecting the fact that it has become a major part of today's Neste
Oil. Kaisa Hietala (M.Sc. (Geophysics), M.Phil. (Environmental Science), 43) has
been appointed Executive Vice President, Renewable Products and a new member of
the NEB. She was previously responsible for the business when it formed part of
Oil Products & Renewables.

"Kaisa Hietala has shown what she is capable of in a number of positions at
Neste Oil, and has acquired extensive international experience," says Matti
Lievonen. "She also played a central part in making Renewable Products a
profitable business in just a few years and one that generated some EUR 2.5
billion in revenue for Neste Oil last year."

Executive Vice President, Oil Retail Sakari Toivola will retire by the end of
2014. Antti Tiitola (Business College Graduate, 47), currently Senior Vice
President, Passenger Traffic Division at the VR Group, has been appointed as his
successor as of 1 December at the latest.

"Antti Tiitola has extensive experience of the retail trade and developing and
managing service organizations, through his leadership positions at Lidl's
Finnish operations and VR," says Matti Lievonen. "His experience and know-how
will be an asset to us as we continue our work to make Neste Oil a more
customer-focused company."

Senior Vice President, Production & Logistics Ilkka Poranen, who has been
responsible for a number of major plant investments and logistics arrangements,
will transfer to new duties within Neste Oil now that Production & Logistics no
longer forms part of the company's organization.

All of the members of the NEB report to President & CEO Matti Lievonen.
