CEO Ton Büchner on AkzoNobel's 2016 performance: "In a year of record
profitability in terms of return on sales and return on investment, our purpose
of creating everyday essentials to make people's lives more liveable and
inspiring was brought to life. We continued to build on our solid foundation of
operational excellence to drive growth and sharpened our focus on delivering
more value for our people, our customers and our shareholders." To hear more

being brought to life. Our Human Cities initiative played a major role in this,

communities where we operate. During 2016, more than 300 projects were launched
around the world, impacting over nine million people." To see one of our
highlights for Human Cities, the inspiring Unexpected Courts project in Brazil,

attention and is playing an increasingly important role in product development
and how we work with customers." To learn more about how AkzoNobel innovates,
