Sustainability from plant to brand

At AAK, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, embedded throughout the entire value chain—from the sourced plant to the customer brand. Plant-based oils and fats play a vital role in creating more sustainable food systems by replacing animal-based fats. They also drive fossil-free innovation by offering renewable, biodegradable, and sustainable ingredients for candles, personal care products, and more.

Together with our customers, AAK is driving this transformation, tackling global challenges with ambitious sustainability targets.
