We are introducing EBIT after asset charge as a new primary performance metric to focus all divisions on sustained value growth. From 1 January 2008, management incentives will also be tied to this metric. In this way, we aim to improve cash generation.
We also plan for a €700 million reduction in net working capital by the end of 2009.
Disposals of real estate and other assets are planned over the next 24 months to free up at least €1 billion.
