During the past year, AAK has seen some important progress within the sustainability
area. In our supply chains we have continued to build on our strong
foundations of previous years, we have further reduced the environmental impact
of our operations, and we have continued to educate and train our employees in
different areas of sustainability. We are proud to share with you, in this annual
sustainability report, these and other important achievements.
