Deforestation‑free sourcing and resilient landscapes

Biodiversity is shaped in our supply chains

The way raw materials are produced has a direct impact on ecosystems, landscapes and natural habitats. For AAK, this makes our supply chains central to how we address biodiversity and support more responsible practices.

Strengthening how raw materials are sourced

Our approach is built on responsible sourcing and long-term engagement in our value chains.

We work to prevent deforestation, improve traceability and support better land use practices together with our suppliers. At the same time, we collaborate across the industry to address shared challenges.

Where we focus

Deforestation- and conversion-free sourcing

 

Traceability and transparency

 

Supplier engagement and capacity building

 

Industry collaboration

 

Long-term change in complex systems

Biodiversity challenges are shaped by how supply chains operate – combining environmental, economic and social factors.

Our approach is based on engagement rather than withdrawal. By working with suppliers and partners, we support continuous improvements and more resilient sourcing practices.

This requires ongoing verification, strong collaboration and the ability to adapt how risks are managed over time.

“Protecting biodiversity is not only about setting requirements. It is about building the traceability, partnerships and long-term engagement needed to improve how supply chains work.”
