Employees in numbers

[ESRS S1-6; GRI 2-7, 401-1]

The main reasons for employees leaving in 2024 were mutual/voluntary contract terminations, contract terminations by the employer and retirements. This is reflected in all figures in the following tables.

The most representative number of employees in the financial statements can be found in note 9. Personnel expenses.

The numbers shown in the following tables are in head count and as of December 31, 2024.

Lenzing is currently not able to report information on the third gender category “other”. While it is technically possible to report this in the system, the company first needs to confirm whether the global recruitment process aligns with the procedure in Austria, where gender is entered based on the ID card presented.

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) has a genuine fixed-term employment/service contract that extends beyond the usual six-month fixed-term period. The six-month fixed-term period does not relate to the number of temporary employees.

In the reporting year, Lenzing had a total of 253 apprentices (2023: 236, 2022: 188), of which 58 were female and 195 male (2023: 48 and 188, 2022: 31 and 157). The information about apprentices is entity-specific information.

The numbers reported are in head count and as of December 31, 2024. The total number of non-employees does not include self-employed people as they are not recorded in the HR system.

The largest group of non-employees consists of supervised workers, who are employed indirectly via an employment agency. They are treated the same way as direct Lenzing employees. The majority of supervised workers are employed in the production area (shift work), which was determined evaluating of their job titles and job description.
