Kesko's website again the best in Finland and at the top level in Europe
Kesko's homepage at www.kesko.fi has been ranked Finland's best corporate website for a second consecutive time. The Swedish Comprend's 20th Webranking survey ranks corporate websites on 50 criteria derived from company stakeholders' needs and wishes.
The 50 largest Finnish listed companies were included in the survey. On a Europe-wide scale, the survey covered over 800 companies and the 100 largest companies globally. Kesko's score was 92.2/100, which was several points higher from last year.
"This is a great proof of Kesko's systematic development of digital services. Kesko aims to build the trading sector's best digital services for the K-Group customers for shopping to be fun", says Channel Director Harri Utoslahti.
Kesko ranked above the Finnish average on all website sections: homepage, about us, press, reporting, share, investor relations, governance, CSR, careers and website functionalities. In this year's survey, Kesko was the only company to score full points for the company information section.
