From the raw materials we source to the solutions we develop with customers, we consider environmental and social impacts in how we work and make decisions. This means addressing the impacts connected to our sourcing and operations, while developing solutions that respond to specific customer and application needs.
Working toward resilient food systems
Food systems around the world are under pressure. Climate change, biodiversity loss and social and economic challenges are increasing the need for food systems that are healthier, more sustainable and more resilient.
Creating that change requires action across the value chain. It starts with the soil, how crops are grown, how ecosystems are treated and how the people behind our raw materials are supported. It continues through sourcing and production to the solutions we develop with our customers.
Our solutions are part of this bigger picture. By collaborating with customers, suppliers and industry partners, AAK strives to contribute to positive outcomes for climate, biodiversity and people. Strong governance guides our decisions and supports long-term value creation.
Driving plant-based solutions
Working closely with our customers, we develop plant-based oil and fat solutions for specific product and application needs. By balancing functionality, quality and performance with sustainability considerations, we help customers respond to evolving consumer and societal expectations and support progress toward more sustainable product categories.
