PLANNED CHANGES IN HUMAN RESOURCES AND THE SOCIAL AREA

The number of employees in the Group will continue to rise in the future as a result of strong organic expansion. However, the growth in the number of employees will further be held below the expected rate of organic sales growth. The regional distribution of our employees will not change significantly – about 48% will be located in Europe, about 34% in North America, and about 18% in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Africa.
