THE DANISH CROWN GROUP

Progress on strategic milestones

We have defined a number of targets we consider to be milestones on the road to fulfilling our sustainability strategy. In this section, we describe how we have progressed with respect to these targets, which are described in further detail elsewhere in the report. The arrows indicate whether things are progressing as planned, or more quickly or more slowly than anticipated.
