Coloplast A/S - Coloplast presents new 5-year strategy, Impact4

The new 5-year strategy, Impact4, will be presented today at the company’s Capital Markets Day 2025

The Impact4 strategy puts customers at the centre of everything we do and sets an ambitious goal for the company – to help 4 million people in the long-term. With Impact4, we focus on four strategic priorities which are essential to our success and value creation:

1. Grow through innovative customer offerings, by setting the standard of care and driving strong customer centricity across all our business areas.
2. Unlock next level efficiency gains, to increase efficiency and reduce complexity across the organisation.
3. Embrace technology including AI to elevate user experience and scale, by investing in a foundation of new technology programs.
4. Cultivate a winning and sustainable company, by fostering a culture of customer-centricity and high performance, and a strong pipeline of leaders.

Ahead of the new strategic period, we are organising our businesses into two distinct business units: Chronic Care and Acute Care, as announced on 19 August 2025. This allows the company to respect the differences in market dynamics, customer needs, patient pathways and business models. As a consequence of the new business unit structure, a new Executive Leadership Team was also announced on 19 August 2025, to successfully lead the execution of the Impact4 strategy.

“Together with the rest of the Board of Directors and Executive Leadership Team at Coloplast, I am excited to present to you our new 5-year strategy, Impact4. The strategic priorities we have laid out in Impact4 set a clear direction – one where our customers are at the centre of everything we do. We are reinvigorating our focus on delivering the best customer experience for our users, patients and clinicians across our offering of products, support and services, with the ambition to lead the market and win. I firmly believe our new strategy will create value for all our stakeholders – customers, shareholders, employees and partners.’’ says Lars Rasmussen, interim CEO of Coloplast.
