Strategy for Growth

Wolters Kluwer announced its three-year strategy for growth at the end of 2003. By reorganizing Wolters Kluwer for growth, reducing costs through lasting structural improvements, and investing in growth around leading market positions, top-line growth was restored in 2004. Wolters Kluwer has laid the foundation for delivering sustainable growth and profitability going forward. See the Wolters Kluwer web site to learn more about the company's strategy.
