Sustainability Report 2020 10 AAK Driving sustainability progress We always strive to do better by mini- mizing our environmental impact and to be a force for good in the societies that we connect with through our supply chain, production sites and products. It also helps us to identify the business opportunities that come from being part of the solution to global challenges and to build back better in a world working to overcome climate change, poverty, the Covid-19 pandemic, and their broader impacts. Collaboration and transparency Embedded into our purpose is a strong belief that collaboration and transparency is the way forward to deal with sustainability challenges and opportunities. At AAK, we know that real change does not happen in isolation. Our sustainability solutions are a result of work carried out in collaboration with customers, suppliers, industry organizations, local governments, and NGOs. Together with partners, we strive to scale up our impact beyond our own operations and supply chain. Transpar- ency means that we are open about challenges and where we see room for improvement in our work to progress in all parts of our value chain. For AAK, sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We always strive to go fur- ther, constantly taking new steps to improve and deliver solutions that are more sustainable.
