Employees in numbers

[ESRS S1-6; GRI 2-7, 401-1]

The main reasons for employees leaving in 2023 were mutual/voluntary contract terminations, contract terminations by employer and retirements. This is reflected in all figures in the following tables.

Employment contracts

Most Lenzing Group employees are employed in a permanent employment/service relationship. It is currently customary to work the first six months under a fixed-term contract followed by an automatic transition to a permanent employment/service relationship. Only around 2.8 percent of the workforce (including external personnel) have a genuine fixed-term employment/service contract that goes beyond the usual six-month fixed-term period. For this reason, there is no further separate breakdown into permanent/fixed-term employment contracts.

The numbers reported are in head count and as of December 31, 2023.

[ESRS S1-7; GRI 2-8]

The numbers reported are in head count and as of December 31, 2023. The largest group of workers other than Lenzing`s employees are supervised workers which are engaged indirectly via an employment agency. They are treated the same way as Lenzing`s employees. The majority of supervised workers are employed in the production area (shift work, etc.).

Collective bargaining agreements
