Sustainability report

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) GRI is a network-based organization that pioneers the world’s most widely used sustainability reporting framework. The reporting framework sets out the prin- ciples and performance indicators that organizations can use to measure and report their economic, envi- ronmental, and social performance. The framework also addresses the United Nations Global Compact principles and the OECD’s Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. The Core disclosures are mandatory and the topic-specific disclosures identified in the mate- riality analysis are highlighted in the below GRI Index as “Significant topics”. AAK has also chosen to disclose information related to a few more topics important for the company. See www.globalreporting.org for more information.
