Risk country list

Kesko pays special attention to human rights issues and working conditions in its supply chain in countries with the greatest risk of human rights violations. In the risk assessment of supply countries, we utilise the amfori country risk classification, based on Worldwide Governance indicators published by the World Bank. The risk country list includes countries classified with a risk label of medium or high risk.

Worldwide Governance Indicator consists of six dimensions: 

  1. Voice and Accountability (VA) 
  2. Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism (PV) 
  3. Government Effectiveness (GE)  
  4. Regulatory Quality (RQ)  
  5. Rule of Law (RL)  
  6. Control of Corruption (CC)
