To that end, we have set up a decentralised global CSR organisation responsible for CSR-related initiatives, progress, communication and reporting. Global CSR organisation with local roots The Global CSR Manager is a member of AAK’s Executive Committee and reports to the CMO (Chief Marketing Officer). The CMO’s responsibilities include CSR and Communications. At Board level, the Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the follow-up and reporting of CSR topics, codes and policies. CEO and Executive Committee Global CSR Manager Since the global CSR organisation was established in early 2007, its objective has been to ensure breadth and diversity in the local teams, which are central to our CSR work. The teams possess competencies in Human Resources, Health, Safety & Environment, Finance, Sourcing, Operations and Sales. Stakeholders Legislation Trends Benchmarks At our production sites, the teams consist of five to ten people led by a CSR Team Leader. The teams at our sourcing operations in West Africa have a different composition, and may draw on competencies from the major sites. Global team effort The annual production and release of our GRI Report for internal use is a global team effort involving staff from various functions at all sites. In line with this, our Sustainability Report is a global team achievement that includes statements, initiatives, projects and views from the entire organisation. In addition, it documents – for our stakeholders and ourselves – the fact that CSR is firmly anchored within our organisation.
