Kesko recognised for good corporate governance
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
KESKO CORPORATION PRESS RELEASE 27.02.2012 AT 13.00 1(1)
Kesko has been awarded by World Finance Magazine for 'the Best Corporate
Governance in Finland' in terms of corporate governance development and
reporting for the second time in succession. The international comparison listed
companies which significantly exceed the minimum governance standards and report
on their operating practices openly and transparently.
World Finance awarded the best companies from 53 countries. In addition to
Kesko, the awarded companies included Royal Dutch Shell (Netherlands), HSBC (UK)
Microsoft (US) and Nestlé (Switzerland).
Kesko is committed to the best practices of good corporate governance: openness
and transparency, and the pursuit of the interests of the company and all of its
shareholders.
"For Kesko, good corporate governance is a success factor, which creates a
strong basis for long-term success in business for the benefit of customers and
all shareholders," says the Kesko Group's General Counsel, Vice President Anne
Leppälä-Nilsson.
"We want to exceed the level of the regulations binding listed companies and
create clear, transparent decision-making structures and systems, providing open
and up-to-date information about them to the market and other stakeholders."
Kesko has received several recognitions for responsibility work in Finland and
internationally. Kesko has, for example, been included on 'the Global 100 Most
Sustainable Corporations in the World' list for eight times in succession
(www.global100.org). Last year Kesko was awarded for the best responsibility
reporting in Finland (www.fibsry.fi).
