25 Key progresses 11 % AAK has advanced rapidly in putting its sustainable palm oil policy into action: strong progress towards the target of 100 percent traceability to mill for sourcing of palm oil and associated products, including palm kernel oil and sourcing for technical, non-food use 100 percent traceability back to mill origin for palm oil and 97 percent overall for palm oil, palm kernel oil and residuals 86 % 13 % qualitative risk assessment process completed for all identified supplier mills geospatial risk assessment completed for 20 supplier mills higher risk supplier mills identified for on site mill verification assessments in 2015 finalized AAK Palm Oil Policy implementation protocol adopted a palm oil grievance procedure supply chain. We also recognize the complexity in obtaining such information at that detailed level. Currently we are monitoring for traceability to the plantation level, which is starting to see progress. Traceability will always be retrospective to a certain extent and will be a snapshot of what supply chains look like at a specific point in time. Therefore, to ensure that we keep a high level of quality in the data we are using for our risk assessment, we ask our suppliers every sixth month to provide us with any updates within their supply chain. By doing so, we ensure a high degree of validity in our risk assessments which is vital for achieving credible results. Our focus currently is on assessing compliance of identified mills, which we consider to be the most effective implementation methodology.
