7 Ambition I Every three to five years we analyze the strategies of our business groups. We use the findings to plot the course for the group as a whole. In the last few years DSM has rapidly transformed itself into a multispecialty enterprise. I We are continuing with our new Vision 2010 Building on Strengths program. It s built on three key drivers: market-driven growth and innovation, expansion in emerging economies and Operational Excellence.

8 Our commitment to the communities in which we operate and to society in general shines through in the many social programs we run. These range from educational and environmental projects at grassroots level to large-scale programs designed to help eradicate malnutrition and vitamin deficiency in developing countries. DSM Company Profile DSM, quite a company 8

9 Responsibility I In our ongoing search for cleaner, cheaper and more efficient methods of production we have become one of the world s leading exponents of industrial ( white ) biotechnology, the process in which materials and chemicals are produced with the aid of micro-organisms and enzymes. I We are deeply committed to creating a safe and healthy working environment and minimizing any nuisance our sites may cause to their neighbors. We are able to keep close track of our progress thanks to a refined system of reporting and data analysis. Systems which help us in turning safety and safe behavior into a way of life for all our 22,000 employees. I With some 250 sites in 50 countries, DSM is a member of many communities. Every one of our business groups and units is dedicated to the principles of good corporate citizenship. We demonstrate our solidarity with the communities around our sites through many activities, small and not so small, and we are involved in large-scale projects in developing countries. In March 2007 DSM announced an official partnership between itself and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP). The WFP is the largest provider of food aid to the world s hungry. DSM will provide the WFP with expertise, high nutrient products as well as financial assistance. 9

10 Innovation is in our genes Market-driven growth and innovation are key drivers of DSM s strategy. Finding answers to the challenges facing society, both now and in the future, is at the heart of everything that DSM does. DSM has explicitly adopted an open innovation model, focused on teaming up with knowledge institutions and innovative players all over the world. Innovation is key to our Vision 2010 strategy program, in a world of change characterized by global societal and technological trends such as individualization, global networking, aging populations, and increased awareness of health, safety and environmental issues. These trends are leading to new consumer needs and demands. DSM Company Profile DSM, quite a company 10

11 Innovation I Science and technology are developing at a tremendous speed, creating the technological base required for meeting the new consumer needs for specialties in a creative, efficient and sustainable way. This convergence of new societal needs and new technological possibilities forms the stage on which DSM will build further on its existing strengths and develop new capabilities. I DSM owns patents to around 2,500 inventions and adds another 300 to the total every year. We actively manage some 500 trademarks worldwide. We expand our knowledge base by participating in around 100 partnerships and collaborating with faculties of 2,000 universities throughout the world. Every year we invest 4 to 5% of sales revenues in research and development. Some of our businesses spend twice as much. I DSM has developed new, lower-cost and cleaner processes for antibiotics, food ingredients, plastics, synthetic rubber, coating resins and coatings for fiber-optic cables. DSM is responsible for highly successful products such as the Dyneema fiber, the engineering plastic Stanyl and arachidonic acid. And thanks to our genomics project, we now have a new technology platform that enables us to introduce improved or new products faster and at lower cost. 11

12 Emerging Business Areas DSM has selected four specific Emerging Business Areas (EBAs) that optimally combine expected social and technological trends with DSM s current market strongholds and technology positions. White Biotechnology With the White Biotechnology EBA we will further boost the application of nature's toolset e.g. micro-organisms and enzymes to the production of (fine) chemicals and materials. A growing cost spread between hydrocarbon and carbohydrate feedstock as well as advances in science and technology will allow White Biotechnology to become a competitive alternative in an increasing range of applications, including not only food, feed and nutritional ingredients, fine chemicals but also performance materials and base chemicals. DSM will focus on opportunities where White Biotechnology enables drastic process improvement compared to the chemical technologies. Biomedical To meet the upcoming needs of the medical and biotech industries, DSM Biomedical builds on DSM s expertise and strengths in polymers, coating technology, materials science and life sciences. DSM s current biomedical portfolio includes hydrophilic coating technology for catheters, guidewires and stent delivery systems and Dyneema Purity, a specially developed, high performance polyethylene fiber technology, which is used in medical applications where maximum strength and minimum weight are required. Furthermore DSM Biomedical is focusing on developing materials and systems around implantable devices for the musculoskeletal and vascular systems and drug delivery devices in musculoskeletal, vascular and ophthalmic application areas. Personalized Nutrition Personalized nutrition is nutrition based on individual dietary recommendations derived from knowledge of the individual s lifestyle, nutritional status and/or genetic makeup. It is aimed at promoting health, well-being and performance and can potentially reduce the risk of health problems. Specialty Packaging The drivers leading to the choice of this EBA are growing food quality awareness, increasing interaction between a product and its packaging and upcoming changes in regulations. We aim to develop innovative packaging solutions for food products with innovative barrier properties relating to freshness, release of odors, and the ability to monitor the history of the product.
