In 2021, Kesko participated in public policy advocacy on tax through representation associations such as the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK), the Finnish Commerce Federation and the Finland Chamber of Commerce. In Sweden and Norway, Kesko is a member of trading industry associations Svensk Handel in Sweden and the Enterprise Federation of Norway (Virke). Stakeholder cooperation and engagement is discussed in more detail in the Stakeholder engagement section of this report. No tax related concerns have come up in stakeholder cooperation or in the materiality assessment. [...] The K Code of Conduct offers Kesko employees and business partners guidance on the demands of responsible operations. In 2021, we updated the K Code of Conduct sections of business partners agreements. All Kesko Group personnel members are asked annually to confirm their commitment to compliance with the K Code of Conduct. [...] In anticorruption activities, the key themes for us have been identified to concern offering and accepting gifts and hospitality, providing sponsorship and donations, understanding and avoiding conflicts of interest, and the rules for lobbying. Our key principles include that we do not offer or accept bribes, including facilitation payments, or any other than customary and transparent hospitality of low value. This principle is applied to our whole supply chain and to our all activities. We do not make monetary donations to political parties.
