A visionary goal Our goal is to become one of the worlds leading companies in the treatment of psychiatric disorders and neurological diseases. This is an extensive and complicated business area, which, in research and sales, requires a large critical mass if the desired results are to be achieved. Lundbeck is therefore strengthening its specialised research and development, sales and marketing efforts. This is essential if we are to realise our vision. subsidiaries makes the whole group a flexible, multi-cultural entity. And - last but not least we cooperate closely with psychiatrists and neurologists to develop integrated therapies that provide patients with the best opportunities for living a good life. At the same time, research - the foundation of Lundbecks activities - is further strengthened. We must constantly be one step ahead of our competitors in the development of new substances and methods. In this way we will attract and keep the best and most competent employees and continue our tradition of developing new and better products. However, none of this is possible without a sound financial footing. First and foremost, all groups with international ambitions of any significance must be profitable. Therefore, all of the companys departments must contribute to the overall result by generating solid financial growth. specialists in psychiatry pioneers in neurology Statements Our strength is specialisation Speed is our weapon Integration is our goal Results are the measure of our success Research is our foundation Five action areas To realise our vision, we have designated five action areas - specialisation, time, integration, results and research - on which the entire organisation must focus. Specialisation in treating CNS-related disorders must be further intensified. Today, Lundbeck is a specialist in the development of drugs for treating a range of psychiatric disorders - but in the treatment of neurological diseases we are still at the pioneering stage. Increased specialisation will enable us to offer pharmaceuticals for treating more diseases in the CNS field. The vast concentration of knowledge creates the basis for improved efficiency. Because of its specialisation, Lundbeck is an attractive partner for psychiatrists and neurologists around the world. Time is a critically important factor primarily because of the ever-shorter product-life cycles of pharmaceuticals - new and better therapies constantly replace existing ones. Minimising the time taken to bring products from the concept stage to the market is therefore vital. Integration means regarding all our actions and activities as part of the whole. Professional and departmental barriers are broken down, so employees with different experience and qualifications work together as a team. Further integration of the international A major step Lundbecks corporate strategy provides the basis for continued international expansion. Through organic growth or strategic alliances, Lundbeck will build a global network for distributing and marketing its products. This takes us a major step closer to realising our vision. 5 Contents Supervisory Board and Board of Management A clear vision The way forward A continuously dev Supervisory Board Arne V.
