This means we provide first class expertise, application know-how and chemicals that enable our customers to improve their water, energy and raw material efficiency, as well as their product quality. It also means that we operate sustainably, efficiently and safely, while employing the best people with the right service attitude and a passion for our business. Growth and business focus The growing global population and scarcity of resources create a greater need to produce more with less. We work together with water intensive industries to make this possible. Our focus is on promoting and supporting profitable growth in two business segments. We gain synergies through similar production technologies and shared manufacturing sites. Polymers are the largest product group used throughout these segments. In Pulp & Paper, we have unique expertise in applying chemicals and in helping pulp and paper producers to innovate and constantly improve their operational efficiency and environmental impacts. In Industry & Water, we support municipalities and water intensive industries in the efficient and sustainable utilization of resources. In water treatment, we help in optimizing every stage of the water cycle. In oil and gas applications, our chemistries enable improved yield from existing reserves and reduced water and energy use. Innovation Research and development is a critical enabler for organic growth in Kemira and provides differentiation capabilities where water meets chemistry. Kemira's R&D spend will be increased for process improvement innovations in paper, oil & gas and mining industries, as well as in the related product lines. Our innovation sales target of 10 % was extended until the end of 2017. In 2016, 9 % of our revenue was generated from innovated products, i.e. products that have been out in the market less than five years.
