Employees in numbers

[S1-6 50d, 50e, 50f]

To strengthen long‑term competitiveness, a structured job reduction program was initiated in 2025. Therefore, the main reasons for employees’ departures during the reporting year were mutual or voluntary contract terminations, employer-initiated terminations and retirements. These categories are reflected consistently 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 number of employees is presented in note 9 as full-time equivalents (FTEs), whereas this section reports the total headcount.

The numbers shown in the following tables are in head count and as of December 31, 2025.

Gender is recorded in the systems based on official ID documents presented. In countries where the legal registration of a third gender is possible, this option can be used voluntarily. In 2025, Lenzing has no employees registered with the gender category “other”.

Employment contracts

[S1-6 50b, 52]

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 4.5 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.

As of December 31, 2025, Lenzing had a total of 243 apprentices (2024: 253), of which were 60 female and 183 male (2024: 58 and 195) The information about apprentices is voluntary information.

Employee turnover

[ESRS S1-7]

 The numbers reported are in head count and as of December 31, 2025. 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 employed indirectly through an employment agency. They are treated in the same way as Lenzing employees. Most supervised workers are employed in the production area (shift work), as determined by an evaluation of their job titles and description.
