At a global level, AAK does its best to become
involved in areas where the Group can make a
difference – by utilizing our sphere of influence.
AAK is naturally a member of various national and
international organizations that aim to improve the
industry by, among other things, setting common
standards and aligning analytical methods, and,
in general, by safeguarding the interests of the
vegetable oils and fats industry. Through these
organizations, AAK interacts openly with authorities
and aims to influence the legislation that governs our
business.
