Committed to eliminating chemicals from the edible oil production and manufacturing system
AOI is an Australian proprietary company that, directly and indirectly through its subsidiaries, is focused on the manufacture and sale of chemical free, non-GMO, sustainable edible oils and products derived from oilseeds.
AOI believes that transitioning from a fossil fuel economy to a renewable and chemical free economy is the solution to many health problems the world is facing presently.
To that end, AOI is committed to working with suppliers and customers to eliminate chemicals from the edible oil production and manufacturing systems to supply quality products such as non-GMO oilseeds and organic and non-organic food-grade oils to customers globally. Over thepast 20 years, AOI has grown to be the largest cold pressing oil plant in Australia, pressing strictly GMO free conventional and organic oilseeds.
AOI believes that to make a true impact, they must materially advance progress towards meaningful environmental, social, and governance goals, and even further advance the fulfillment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) — giving due consideration to the potential impact pathways for a given investment. The UN SDGs can only be realized with strong global partnerships and cooperation, which underpin the vision of AOI since its inception. The SDGs identified by the United Nations provide a common pathway for a better and more sustainable future.
AOI believes that the UN SDGs in business is good business as they work in the spirit of partnership and pragmatism to make proper choices now to improve life, in a sustainable way, for future generations by providing clear guidelines and targets for all countries to adopt in accordance with their own priorities and the environmental challenges of the world at large.
AOI’s is committed to working only with farmers and growers who are committed to sustainable, renewable andorganic farming methods, which stand in contrast to the manner that the majority of our food supply is grown, which traditional agriculture systems, we believe, are degenerative, damaging the planet’s ecosystem at an alarming rate through loss of topsoil, loss of biodiversity, desertification, habitat destruction, and air and water pollution; thus, degenerative agriculture is also a large contributor to climate change.2 AOI believes that farming must be performed in a more nature-friendly, biodiversity-supporting manner.
The non-GMO chemical free oilseeds are then cold pressed, filtered and bottled by AOI into organic and non-organic food-grade oils, vegetable protein meals and supplements in stock feed rations. Cold pressing involves pressing and grinding the oilseeds without the use of chemicals and solvents at temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius, which results in oil and meals that retain nutritional values, antioxidants, and healthy omega fatty acids3. AOI works with various marketers and distributors to sell its products in the Australian retail and selected export markets.
