Kesko Oyj

Kesko's disclosures indicate a limited governance framework for climate-related lobbying. It discloses a public commitment to align its engagement activities with the Paris Agreement, stating "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?...Yes", and notes that its anti-corruption activities include "the rules for lobbying". However, the company does not disclose any process for monitoring or managing its lobbying activities - whether direct advocacy or through industry associations such as the Confederation of Finnish Industries or Svensk Handel - against its climate objectives, nor does it identify any individual or formal body responsible for reviewing or aligning these activities. We found no evidence of a review procedure for association positions, board sign-off on lobbying plans, or a dedicated audit of climate-related lobbying, indicating that oversight and alignment of its lobbying to climate goals is currently limited.
