Kesko has been awarded by World Finance Magazine for 'the Best Corporate
Governance in Finland' in terms of corporate governance development and
reporting. The international comparison listed companies which significantly
exceed the minimum governance standards and report on their operating practices
openly and transparently. Kesko was the winner in Finland also in 2011 and 2012.

According to the Kesko Group's General Counsel, Vice President Anne Leppälä-

good corporate governance - transparent decision-making structures for the

decision-making and operations are guided by the principles of good corporate
governance.
- At Kesko, good corporate governance means responsible actions in decision-
making and openness. We want to be pioneers in best corporate governance
practices and to provide open and up-to-date information on Kesko's corporate
governance principles and decisions for the market and our stakeholders, says
Leppälä-Nilsson.
