Kesko's Vice President of Investor Relations Hanna Jaakkola was named the best Investment Relations Officer in both Finland and all of Nordics
Kesko's investor relations (IR) efforts have received recognition both on a Finnish and international scale recently.
The IR Nordic Markets (IRNM), conducted by the Swedish company Regi, is the largest study concerning IR work conducted by listed companies in the Nordic countries. Over 1,000 financial analysts from the Nordic countries, the EU, the UK, and the US annually evaluate the IR work of listed companies based on 21 criteria.
In this year’s IRNM:
Kesko’s Vice President of Investor Relations Hanna Jaakkola was named the best Investor Relations Officer in Finland and all of the Nordics
Kesko's overall investor relations work was rated the second best in both Finland and the Nordics
In addition, at the annual gala organised by the Finnish Foundation for Share Promotion, Kesko's investor webpages were rated third best among Finnish large cap companies.
”I am thrilled for such recognition, and would especially want to thank my amazing team and great colleagues. IR is definitely a team sport!” says Kesko’s Vice President of Investor Relations Hanna Jaakkola.
Jaakkola notes: ”My work is made easier by the fact that Kesko is a company I’m proud to talk about, and we have a lot going on at all times. Kesko is also a very sustainable company, and we have intentionally aimed at high-quality investor relations work. Everyone in Finland knows the K brand, and the number of Finnish households owning Kesko shares has grown steadily in recent years.”
“Working with investors and analysts – the discussions and feedback – is definitely one of the favourite parts of my work. I am the happiest if we can increase investors’ understanding of our company and operating environment. To me, this is a service profession,” concludes Jaakkola, who has previously been named ”IRO of the Year 2023” by the by the Finnish Foundation for Share Promotion.
