GRI 102-8 Composition of the workforce

At the end of 2021, the Geberit Group employed 11,809 staff worldwide (previous year 11,569 employees), equivalent to an increase of 240 employees or 2.1% compared to the previous year. This increase was due to – mainly temporary – capacity adjustments in production and logistics, which were necessary for handling the high demand, as well as – to a lesser extent – the expansion in research and development. The closure of three smaller production plants had a reducing effect.
