“2023 was a year in which AkzoNobel delivered a clear rebound in performance. Our volumes stabilized – despite continuing volatility in some of our markets – our profits rebounded on resilient pricing and the first effects of raw material deflation, while our efforts to transform our company gathered pace. This allowed us to absorb persistent global inflation and unfavorable currency effects to beat the targets we’d set ourselves at the beginning of the year.”
* Alternative Performance Measures (APMs). AkzoNobel uses APM adjustments to the IFRS measures to provide supplementary information on the reporting of the underlying developments of the business. APMs include, but are not limited to, adjusted operating income, (adjusted) EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, ROS and ROI. A reconciliation of the Alternative Performance Measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures can be found in Note 3 of the Consolidated financial statements in our Report 2023.
We have a long history of transparent reporting with regard to our environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, which is included every year in our annual report. Accurate and robust data on our sustainability performance helps us make decisions, monitor performance and report progress to our stakeholders. The Sustainability section in our Report 2023 has been expanded in advance of the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
