First choice for value-adding
vegetable oil solutions
Sustainable growth
At AAK, sustainability is part of our DNA. Hand in hand
with financial growth, social and environmental responsibility
is key to our continued development and future
success. This is what we mean by “sustainable growth”.
We believe that building sustainability into our
everyday activities helps us achieve our vision of being
the first choice for value-adding vegetable oil solutions.
AAK’s model for sustainable growth – House of
Sustainability – covers five focus areas: Our Customers,
Our Suppliers, Our Planet, Our People, and Our
Neighbours.
Global team effort
The annual preparation of our Sustainability Report is
a global team effort involving staff from various functions
at all sites. This report is inspired by GRI (Global
Reporting Initiative) standard.
In line with this, our Sustainability Report is an
achievement that also includes statements, initiatives,
projects and views from the entire organization. In
addition, it documents – for both stakeholders and
ourselves – that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
is firmly anchored within our organization.
Scope
This report covers the AAK Group including production
sites, administrative offices, sales offices, customer
innovation centers, and sourcing operations. Environmental
data is restricted to the production sites only.
Total environmental data is presented including our
newest production sites in Brazil, China, India and
USA (California). However, to keep the environmental
performance comparable, the performance of the AAK
scope 2016 sites is presented excluding our four new
sites. They are included in the new baseline.
Throughout the report, AAK colleagues share stories
about some of our many sustainability initiatives. The
report aims at providing a clear picture of how we
at AAK work with sustainability – our drive towards
sustainable growth.
The report is available in English and Swedish
and can be downloaded as a PDF at www.aak.com.
