AAK adds sustainable coconut oil to AkoPlanet platform for plant-based foods
AAK expanded its AkoPlanet™ platform for plant-based foods in the US. The expansion introduces a coconut oil that abides by high sustainability standards and supports AAK’s commitment as a leading supplier of sustainable plant-based ingredient solutions, while supporting farmers, and features traceability to the farm. With the introduction of AkoPlanet™ CNO 16-001 in the United States, this product is now available globally.
AAK has been advocating for collective action on coconut sustainability for many years and is a founding member of the global platform that is working toward a more responsible and resilient coconut sector - The Sustainable Coconut Partnership (https://www.coconutpartnership.org), along with other leaders in the food and beverage industry. Due to a lack of agreement surrounding sustainable coconut practices in the industry, AAK’s participation in this global platform signifies its commitment to pave the way for a more sustainable coconut oil future.
