Objectives
Using its four new growth drivers (High Growth Economies, Innovation, Sustainability and Acquisitions & Partnerships), DSM aims to achieve an average yearly sales increase of between 5%-7% between 2011 and 2015.
High Growth Economies
DSM goes where the growth is, focusing on regions that generate the most opportunities. This means China, but also India, Russia, Brazil and other High Growth Economies. To do this, we are creating the right organizational shape and structure – and perhaps even more importantly, the right culture and attitude.

Sustainability

That is why our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that sustainability will be the key differentiator and value driver for decades to come, and we are uniquely positioned to capture new value-creating opportunities.

Acquisitions & Partnerships
DSM is now focusing on market-driven organic growth, and we don’t anticipate any major divestments. Instead, we are ensuring that we have the resources we need – both in terms of the right people and the right financing – to capture the opportunities that are out there. Much of this will be achieved by investing in smart and selective acquisitions, partnerships and other collaborations.
