Noomi Järgerhorn (M.Soc.Sc.) has been appointed as Kesko’s Vice President of Sustainability. She will join the company on 1 May 2025, and assume her new position on 1 June 2025 at the latest.
"We define sustainable products as those which have a significantly smaller climate impact than comparable products or which are important for adapting to climate change," says QEHS Manager Mia Haavisto.
There are several sustainability labels on products on the market, making it difficult to choose between them, especially for foodservice customers. At Kespro, the Sustainable Product label guarantees that an assessment of the product's sustainability has already been carried out by Kespro, and the customer knows they are making a responsible choice when they buy a product with the label.
"Responsibility is increasingly emphasised in restaurants' and cafés' own marketing, as it is more and more a determining factor for consumers when choosing where to eat. Our Sustainable Product label makes the everyday life of a restaurateur or café owner much easier, as they don't have to wade through the backgrounds of numerous sustainability labels. We at Kespro have already done the work for them," Haavisto says.
A product is a Sustainable Product when it is
For now, the label is only visible in the product information on Kespro's public website (www.kespro.com). Currently, nearly 2,000 products have the Sustainable Product label.
