Aktsiaselts Kaupmees & Ko conducts most of its settlements in euros and there are no risks associated with exchange rate changes. There are also no significant environmental and social impacts associated with its operations.

The war in Ukraine has affected AS Kaupmees & KO's operations mainly in relation to the procurement of goods. AS Kaupmees & KO immediately stopped procuring goods produced in Russia and Belarus at the start of the war, and alternative supply channels were quickly established, so there were no significant supply shortages.

Higher electricity prices did not directly affect Kaupmees, as our electricity consumption is covered by fixed price contracts.
