Maintaining momentum
An important aspect of the AAK Group’s sustainability
work is maintaining global momentum. To ensure this,
the Global Sustainability Manager is in regular contact
with the sites. Consultation meetings are held with
the sustainability team leaders from each site where
progress and challenges of the sustainability work is
discussed. To make sustainability even more visible
within the organization, an internal sustainability award
is presented each year to the AAK site or business
area that has demonstrated outstanding sustainability
perfor mances. In 2019, the production site in Mexico,
Morelia, won Best AAK Sustainability Achievement.
The site received an award for its overall very strong
sustainability track record including improvements in

Besides internal ambitions and improvement plans,
AAK receives questionnaires, supplier code of conducts
and ratings from our customers and investors regularly
with questions we need to respond to or requirements
we need to adhere to. These expectations serve as
an important guide to further priorities on our stakeholders’
agendas, and support our continuous and
pro active efforts to maintain up-to-date with what may
be expected from us now and in the future.
