Principles Examples of AAK commitments
Businesses should
support a precautionary
approach to environmental
challenges;
Undertake initiatives to
promote greater environmental
responsibility;
Encourage the development
and diffusion of
environmentally-friendly
technologies.
AAK supports the precautionary approach both
in terms of product development and innovation
and in terms of environmental awareness
initiatives (pages 26–39).
Our community engagement initiatives are
examples of how AAK engages employees in
taking a greater environmental responsibility
(pages 56–59).
Best practice, best available technology, benchmarking
and scalable solutions are measures
applied to achieve AAK ambitions (examples on
pages 43 and 45).
Anti-corruption is addressed in AAK Code
of Conduct, the Supplier Code of Conduct,
the Code of Conduct for Suppliers of Raw
Materials and the Code of Conduct for Agents
and Distributors.
Two mandatory e-learning modules addressing
anti-corruption have been passed by more than
90 percent of our employees at risk of encountering
corruption (page 55).
Code of Conduct and anti-corruption is part of
the AAK evaluation and audit procedures of
suppliers.
Businesses should work
against corruption in
all its forms, including
extortion and bribery.
