AAK sustainability report 2018

Since 2009, we have aligned definitions and measured injuries across the AAK Group. We have defined Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) as the number of work injuries that result in one or more days of sick leave per 200,000 working hours. In 2017, AAK had a setback on LTIR and we decided to launch a Global Safety Program, which was done in 2018. As a result, LTIR at our production sites decreased from 0.8 to 0.6, which is a 25 percent improvement. One third of our production sites did not have any Lost Time Injuries during 2018. Lost Day Rate increased from 10.4 to 16.5, unfortunately indicating that the incidents have been more severe in 2018. At our sourcing sites in West Africa, conditions and challenges are very different. For example, the AAK employees drive many kilometers on motorbikes on unpaved roads, which increases the risk of accidents. LTIR increased from 1.2 to 2.9, and Lost Day Rate increased from 24.3 to 54.1. Safety and first aid training is ongoing in West Africa to reduce those figures. Our Global Safety Program is expected to continue the good progress in 2019, which you can read more about on page 56. 2009 2009 2017 2017 2016 2016 2015 2015 2014 2014 2013 2013 2012 2012 2011 2011 2010 2010 2018 2018 Including new sites Including new sites 53
