Information about Kesko for investors

Communications policy and principles

The purpose of Kesko's communications is to promote the business of the Group and its business partners by taking the initiative in providing stakeholders with correct information on Group objectives and operations. The general principles followed in providing communications also include openness, topicality and truthfulness. No comments are made on confidential or unfinished business, nor on competitors' affairs.

The primary objective of communications is to describe what added value Kesko and its cooperation partners generate to consumers and other customers, whose impressions and behaviour ultimately decide Kesko's success.

Investor relations

In line with its IR strategy, Kesko continually produces correct and up-to-date information for the markets as a basis for the formation of Kesko Corporation's share price. The aim is to make Kesko's activities better known and to increase the transparency of investor information and, therefore, the attraction of Kesko as an investment target.

In its investor communications, Kesko follows the principle of impartiality and publishes all investor information on its web pages in Finnish and English.

Kesko publishes the printed Annual Report in Finnish and English. The financial statements release and three interim reports are available on Kesko's web pages. The company maintains the Annual Report mailing list. Those who wish to be included on the mailing list may fill in the form at www.kesko.fi/material. Kesko's stock exchange and press releases sent by e-mail can also be ordered at www.kesko.fi/material.

Kesko arranges press conferences for analysts and the media at the time of publishing financial statements or other significant news, and holds Capital Market Days for analysts and institutional investors on various themes 1–2 times a year.

Kesko observes a two-week period of silence before publishing its results releases. At other times, we are happy to answer the enquiries of analysts and investors by phone or e-mail, or at the investor meetings arranged.
