Strategy
In 2007 a new profit improvement plan, ‘Aspire to
Win’, was announced. Through a mix of cost savings and increased profits from
higher revenues through innovation and differentiation, this plan is expected
to deliver an annual minimum of €100 million in improved profitability by
2010. For 2008, the first full year of the program, it is expected that the
benefits will at least offset the negative impact of the phasing out of the
contracts related to the acquisition of Roche Vitamins.
