Marketplace

Marketplace covers the areas where we meet our customers, including our products, product development, food safety, product information and market communication.

Our interaction with customers is based on sound business ethics and a deep understanding of our responsibility for safeguarding customer brands. As a supplier of ingredients for some of the world’s best-known brands, we recognise our role and our customers’ expectations.

Trust is just as important as our products when it comes to meeting customer needs and expectations. Our customers must be able to rely on AAK as a safe supplier, particularly our commitment to working in an ethically sound manner. To ensure transparency in everything we do, we are a member of Sedex (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange). This allows our customers to look over our shoulder and assess our ethical performance.

Our Code of Conduct, which applies to all AAK staff, regulates how we interact with both customers and suppliers. The Code is based on the same standards as the supplier codes that our customers expect us to follow, including ILO conventions, human rights, OECD guidelines and the UN Global Compact. The AAK Code of Conduct is our guarantee to customers that we act responsibly, right across our organisation.
