Sustainability report 2019

13 Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges; Undertake initiatives to promote greater environ- mental responsibility; Encourage the deve- lopment and diffusion of environmentally-friendly technologies. AAK supports the precautionary approach both in terms of product development and innovation and in terms of environmental awareness initiatives (pages 26–39). Our community engagement initiatives are examples of how AAK engages employees in taking a greater environmental responsibility (pages 56–59). Best practice, best available technology, bench- marking and scalable solutions are measures applied to achieve AAK ambitions (examples on pages 43 and 45). Anti-corruption is addressed in AAK Code of Conduct, the Supplier Code of Conduct, the Code of Conduct for Suppliers of Raw Materials and the Code of Conduct for Agents and Distributors. Two mandatory e-learning modules addressing anti-corruption have been passed by more than 90 percent of our employees at risk of encoun- tering corruption (page 55). Code of Conduct and anti-corruption is part of the AAK evaluation and audit procedures of suppliers. Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.
