AAK sustainability report 2018

64 Investor Relations Shareholders AAK endeavors to generate an attractive return on investments for its shareholders. The largest share- holder is Melker Schörling AB, which indirectly owns more than 31 percent of AAK. In total, approximately 68 percent of AAK’s shareholders are Swedish. More information about AAK’s ownership structure is available at www.aak.com . Dialogue with shareholders AAK’s aim is for the shares to be valued on the basis of relevant, accurate and up-to-date information. This requires a clear strategy for financial communication, reliable information and regular contact with financial market stakeholders. Contact with the financial markets takes place via presentations in conjunction with quarterly reports and meetings with analysts, investors and journalists at capital market days, seminars and visits to AAK’s sites. Shareholder activities Capital market days Road shows Meetings with institutional investors Meetings with equity analysts Local meetings with the Swedish Shareholders’ Association Annual General Meeting During 2018, a capital market day was held in Sweden, and a large number of meetings were held with analysts and investors on site in Copenhagen, London and Stockholm. AAK strives to facilitate current and potential share- holder assessments of our performance through the transparent communication of our financial results, and our work to enhance environmental and social sustain- ability. During the year, we engaged in dialogues with a number of socially responsible investment analysts and investors. Some investors have a particularly strong focus on sustainability and seek greater insights into how companies manage sustainability and corporate responsibility issues, particularly with regard to long and short-term risks affecting the business. AAK meets with such investors regularly, and provides information on our strategy and approach, risk management and anti-corruption programs, among other issues. The intention is that the Group’s annual Sustainability Report is the most appropriate and efficient channel for providing information about AAK’s sustainability practices. For this reason, the aim is to answer the most common questions in this report. However, a construc- tive dialogue on risks, opportunities and strategies related to sustainability is valued. 64
