"<br />

report presents information on K-stores<br />

(e.g. energy monitoring) when it is integrally<br />

related to <strong>Kesko</strong>’s reporting and complements<br />

stakeholder groups. In such cases, the report<br />

refers to them as 'the K-Group'.<br />

REPORT'S STAKEHOLDERS<br />

<strong>Kesko</strong>'s reporting is comprehensive, and<br />

many investors and institutions making<br />

sustainability assessments use the report<br />

as their source of information when assessing<br />

<strong>Kesko</strong>'s performance in various areas of<br />

responsibility.<br />

The most important target groups of the<br />

report include shareholders, investors, analysts,<br />

<strong>Kesko</strong> personnel and the media.<br />

When drawing up the report, we have<br />

also wanted to take into account <strong>Kesko</strong>'s<br />

other important stakeholders: customers,<br />

suppliers of goods and services, as well<br />

as non-governmental and environmental<br />

organisations. With the help of the theme<br />

section and its case examples, we give our<br />

customers and cooperation partners practical<br />

information about <strong>Kesko</strong>'s responsible<br />

operations.<br />
