2022 Corporate Responsibility Report

Dialog and cooperation with employee representatives

During the reporting year, the company concluded 99 collective agreements with the ver.di union in Germany. As part of harmonizing the remuneration systems within the Group, we also concluded collective agreements on a global, uniform job architecture.

Responsible collective bargaining plays an important role and has a long tradition at our company. The percentage of employees covered by collective agreements is published in the non-financial statement in our Annual Report.

Constructive dialog
In 2022, we continued our constructive dialog with our works councils. As the underlying laws and contracts vary from country to country, co-determination matters are managed locally with trade unions and employees’ representatives. Group management is generally involved in all major issues. Further information can be found in our Annual Report.
