The Baldrick Manufacturing Company has for several years followed a policy aimed at decreasing operating costs and improving the efficiency of it's distributing system.

The underlined portion is correct, but shouldn't there be AT before improving, in order to maintain parallelism?

Hi,

You are right, but it automatically applies to it so you don't need to repeat it.

The Baldrick Manufacturing Company has for several years followed a policy aimed at
  • decreasing operating costs
    improving the efficiency..
Regards

Sunil
