Arne Frank CEO and President 3 Safety and education – key concerns within AAK During 2014, our global Lost Time Injury Rate at our production sites dropped by an impressive 58 percent, from 1.2 to 0.5. Moreover, Lost Day Rate – a measurement of the severity of incidents – decreased by 41 percent, to 7.2. This is an effect of the relentless work done by our global safety team that continued to pay off during 2014. The negative impact of corruption is gaining more and more attention globally, both from stakeholders and from tightened legislation. Businesses all over the world are exposed to corruption risks on a daily basis. We already address anti-corruption in our Code of Conduct, our Supplier Code of Conduct and our Code of Conduct for Agents and Distributors, but in addition, we have rolled out two e-learning modules for our employees in order to increase their awareness of corruption and to give them knowledge about how to deal with it. Local engagement Being a global company, AAK contributes to the development of the local communities in which we operate. We do so primarily by creating jobs, paying taxes and doing business with local enterprises. In addition, we endeavour to be a good corporate citizen by taking issues such as health and safety, diversity, labour standards and our environmental impact seriously. However, we realize that there are a variety of different ways to further engage actively with the local communities in which we are situated. I am very pleased to see the many ways in which our employees truly engage with their local communities. The initiatives presented in this report are only a few of those implemented by our employees. Responsibility going forward We are with this Sustainability Report very proud to share with you our significant progress across all of our five focus areas. Going forward, we will continue to grow our business responsibly, not only by applying our model for responsible growth, but also by developing it as we gain new knowledge and as the external environment changes.
