This focus area covers AAK’s impact on the environment in terms of consumption
and emissions from our production plants. It is a top priority for us to minimize our
use of natural resources and emissions per processed product even though our
stronger focus on speciality drives a higher degree of processing. We have over the
years been able to create strong improvement within areas such as GHG emissions,
water consumption and waste treatment.
