AAK joins the Young SDG Innovators program
During 2019, the UN Global Compact initiated a
program to identify young talent within organizations in
order to collaborate and accelerate business innovation
towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The program aims to encourage future business
leaders and changemakers to drive innovative solutions
through new technologies, initiatives, and business
models, and to deliver on their company’s sustainability
objectives. AAK is proud to have two employees joining
this program, which we hope will provide more knowledge
and innovation for creating sustainable solutions.
“It is very inspiring to be a part of this group of young people who are all motivated to push the
sustainability agenda to the next level. One of the best aspects of the program, for me, is to
discuss our ideas with each other, because everybody comes from very different industries. This
gives feedback from unexpected angles, which allows “out-of-the-box discussions.”
Laura Schlebes, Multi-oil Sustainability Manager
”The program is providing guidance on how companies can drive the sustainability agenda and
create greater value for employees, customers, and the planet. Through workshops, educational
materials, and connections, we get a bird’s eye view of our role in the supply chain and the positive
impact we have in other sectors. It has allowed us to cross-fertilize learnings and best practices
