Kesko's Board of Directors established an audit committee

Through the establishment of the audit committee Kesko's Board of Directors will enhance the preparation of the matters under the Board's responsibility. In compliance with the Corporate Governance recommendation of HEX Helsinki Exchanges, the Central Chamber of Commerce and the Confederation of Finnish Industry and Employers, which will enter into force on 1 July 2004, Kesko's Board of Directors has evaluated the independence of the Board members. The evaluation shows that all members of the audit committee are independent of the company.
