Social responsibility Fairness and transparency As a family business, we understand the importance of remunerating our employees appropriately for their work. For this reason, we have adjusted the salary structure at Blum Austria so that jobs with similar tasks and responsibilities across all specialist divisions are compensated within a uniform framework. Salaries are set in line with market rates, local conditions and regulations. The majority of our employees have permanent employment contracts that continue automatically, once they have passed their one-month probationary period or a six-month fixed-term contract for employees working in production. In the reporting year, 82 % of personnel employed at our production sites were covered by generally applicable and / or company collective agreements. ➔ GRI 2-30 Transparent and open communication with our employees is one of our core values as a business, in particular when implementing major operational or organisational changes. Any employees affected by such changes will be informed by their line manager at the earliest opportunity, so that they have the chance to make their views heard. Depending on the issue, changes are communicated through the employee's line manager, the relevant project managers or the Executive Board itself. All employees can make an appointment to view the contents of any works agreements and no time limits are placed on this. ➔ GRI 402-1 57
