Driving down costs
At AAK, we are constantly striving to reduce raw materials
and processing costs, but never at the expense of
our own high-quality standards. By finding new ways
to operate more efficiently, we can help customers
strengthen their bottom-line results. We see this as vital
to help maintain their growth and development, especially
as we work in a highly competitive market where
13 13
retailers continue to challenge food manufacturers.
Sustainability as a foundation
Sustainable growth is a cornerstone of our company.
The foundation of our model for sustainable growth
incorporates the ten principles of the UN Global
Compact, the UN’s Sustainable Development
Goals, and our own policies and codes. Some of the
industries we work with, for example Chocolate &
Confectionery Fats and Plant-based Foods, have very
ambitious sustainability commitments, and through our
co
development approach we create solutions that help
our customers live up to these commitments.
