1 The social performance indicators include all GF companies with ten or more employees.

2 FTE stands for full-time equivalents.

3 Management positions are defined as members of the management board of each business entity or managers who report to a managing director.

4 In 2021, the scope of social data reporting was extended and several figures were collected for the first time. As a result no prior-year data is available.

5 The definition of departures was slightly amended in 2021 and does not include internal transfers or natural departures, e.g. retirements, as of the 2021 reporting period. In previous reporting periods, those departures were still included.

6 The figure represents the number of employees who were asked to participate in the survey.

7 2022 PwC-assured, the assurance statement is available at the following link: https://annual-report.georgfischer.com/22/en/external-assurance

8 Restatement due to correction received.

9 The target line is calculated linearly based on the baseline data and according to the defined target. In 2022, in line with GF's target calculation approach, four companies were added to the Sustainability Targets 2025 for the first time. The baseline of the accident rate target was adjusted accordingly. Further details can be found at: https://annual-report.georgfischer.com/22/en/sr-keyfigures-2022
