Investor Relations
Shareholders
AAK endeavors to generate an attractive return on
investments for its shareholders. The largest shareholder
is Melker Schörling AB, which indirectly owns
more than 31 percent of AAK. In total, approximately
68 percent of AAK’s shareholders are Swedish. More
information about AAK’s ownership structure is available
at www.aak.com.
Dialogue with shareholders
AAK’s aim is for the shares to be valued on the basis
of relevant, accurate and up-to-date information. This
requires a clear strategy for financial communication,
reliable information and regular contact with financial
market stakeholders.
Contact with the financial markets takes place via
presentations in conjunction with quarterly reports and
meetings with analysts, investors and journalists at
capital market days, seminars and visits to AAK’s sites.

During 2018, a capital market day was held in Sweden,
and a large number of meetings were held with analysts
and investors on site in Copenhagen, London and
Stockholm.
AAK strives to facilitate current and potential shareholder
assessments of our performance through the
transparent communication of our financial results, and
our work to enhance environmental and social sustainability.
During the year, we engaged in dialogues with
a number of socially responsible investment analysts
and investors. Some investors have a particularly strong
focus on sustainability and seek greater insights into
how companies manage sustainability and corporate
responsibility issues, particularly with regard to long
and short-term risks affecting the business. AAK meets
with such investors regularly, and provides information
on our strategy and approach, risk management and
anti-corruption programs, among other issues.
The intention is that the Group’s annual Sustainability
Report is the most appropriate and efficient channel
for providing information about AAK’s sustainability
practices. For this reason, the aim is to answer the most
common questions in this report. However, a constructive
dialogue on risks, opportunities and strategies
related to sustainability is valued.
