Our strategy – BRIGHT 2030

At Corbion we have embarked on a new chapter in our evolution; we call it BRIGHT 2030. Building on the successes of our previous strategy, Advance 2025, this new roadmap sharpens our focus and sets the direction for 2026–2030. Our ambition is to lead the specialty food ingredients industry by delivering sustainable, natural, and scientifically grounded solutions for food preservation, human nutrition, and more.

Our why

Consumers and customers worldwide increasingly demand transparency, natural solutions, and sustainability. BRIGHT 2030 responds to those demands. We will accelerate innovation, strengthen our core competencies, and grow responsibly in a way that delivers value for our customers, shareholders, and society at large.

What we will do

We will concentrate our resources and efforts where we see the greatest potential:

• Label-friendly food preservation and formulation
  We will develop and deliver natural food preservation solutions that help customers meet rising consumer demand for label-friendly, sustainable ingredients.
• Algal fermentation and nutrition
  We will expand our algae-derived ingredients portfolio beyond omega-3 oils and explore new applications in human nutrition and pet food, unlocking growth in high-potential segments.
• Biomaterials
  We will grow our position in biomaterials and related healthcare applications, applying our expertise in science and fermentation to deliver high-value, sustainable solutions.

Financial ambitions for 2026–2028

Under BRIGHT 2030, we commit to disciplined execution and profitable growth, targeting:

• Organic sales growth of 3 to 6 percent per year
• Adjusted EBITDA margin of around 18 percent by 2028
• Cumulative Free Cash Flow of 270 million euros

How we built the foundation

In executing our previous strategy over recent years, we have transformed Corbion by streamlining operations, investing in capacity and innovation, exiting non-core activities, and strengthening our balance sheet. That foundation now enables BRIGHT 2030.

Today, our global footprint, fermentation know-how, blending capabilities, and commitment to natural and sustainable solutions position us to lead with agility, purpose, and discipline.

Our commitment

In alignment with BRIGHT 2030, we are committed to:

• Delivering innovative, sustainable ingredients that help our customers meet global demand for products that are label-friendly, health-supporting, and respectful of the planet
• Growing responsibly and profitably, with disciplined capital allocation and efficient supply chain operations
• Unlocking new value in nutrition, food preservation, and biomaterials while making a positive impact on people and the planet

BRIGHT 2030 is not just a business plan. It is Corbion’s commitment to lead, innovate, and preserve what matters.
