Long-term targets

Novozymes’ performance in 2010 leaves us even better positioned to fulfill our ambition of changing the world together with our customers. The long-term targets communicated at the beginning of 2009 are unchanged.

For a decade, Novozymes has focused on delivering strong growth in sales, earnings, and cash flow. In 2009, we launched a new ambition with new and more demanding targets for both financial and sustainability performance.

Novozymes’ strong financial performance in 2010 surpassed the new financial targets, but it is our average performance over a longer time period that matters most, so the targets are unchanged. When it comes to sustainability, 2010 showed that we are well on track to meet the targets for 2015.
