Responsible Growth - AAK publishes new sustainability report

AAK is pleased to announce the publishing of the company's new
sustainability report - a transparent presentation of the AAK Group's
objectives, initiatives and activities relating to corporate social
responsibility (CSR).

- As the world's leading supplier of speciality vegetable oils and fats,
at AAK we are very aware of our responsibility to source, handle,
produce and deliver our products in the most efficient and sustainable
manner as we strive to meet our strategic goals, says President and CEO
Arne Frank.

AAK is committed to integrating sustainability in all its activities,
and endeavour to initiate and participate in win-win projects that
benefit surroundings. Combined, the Annual Report and the Sustainability
Report present a full and transparent picture of AAK, including
economic, environmental and social performance. The Sustainability
Report covers the entire AAK organisation, including production plants,
administrative offices, sales offices and sourcing operations.
Throughout the report, top managers share their thoughts and insights in
relation to their specific areas of responsibility, and AAK colleagues
share stories on some of the many sustainability initiatives.

- We will continue to drive responsible growth. With sustainability on
top of our agenda, we are convinced that even better years lie ahead of
us. Our responsible approach is building strong capabilities for
sustainable growth into new markets, countries and cultures, concludes
President and CEO Arne Frank.

The report is available in Swedish and English as a PDF file at AAK's
