Global CSR organization
Decentralized approach
We believe in the importance of anchoring our CSR
efforts in the organization and in incorporating a
sustainability mindset into our everyday working life.
To that end, we have set up a decentralized global
CSR organization responsible for CSR-related initiatives,
progress, communication, and reporting.
Global CSR organization with local roots
The Global CSR Manager reports to the CMO (Chief
Marketing Officer) who is a member of AAK’s Executive
Committee. The CMO’s responsibilities include
CSR, corporate strategy, and business development
and marketing. At Board level, the Audit Committee is
responsible for monitoring the follow-up and reporting
of CSR topics, codes and policies.
Since the global CSR organization was established
in early 2007, its objective has been to ensure breadth
and diversity in the local teams, which are fundamental
to our sustainability work. The teams possess
competencies in human resources, health, safety and
environment, finance, sourcing, operations, and sales.
At our production sites, the teams consist of five to
ten people led by a CSR team leader. The teams at
our sourcing operations in West Africa have a different
composition, and may draw on competencies from the
major sites.
