This focus area covers activities that AAK initiates and engages in, be they local,
regional, national or international, in order to play our part and act responsibly in
society. Contributing to, and being part of, the community in which AAK operates
is essential for maintaining a positive relationship with neighbours, politicians
and authorities. Which community activities we engage in is dependent on what is
relevant and adds most value to the local community. Through a commitment to
community causes, AAK is also instrumental in creating a workplace with highly
motivated employees who take pride in working for a company that makes a noticeable
difference.
