CHANGE NEGOTIATIONS PURSUANT TO THE ACT ON CO-OPERATION WITHIN UNDERTAKINGS CONCLUDED AT RAUTE
Negotiations in compliance with the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings, initiated on 23 August 2022, concerning adaptation measures have been concluded at Raute Corporation. The change negotiations concerned Raute's salaried and senior salaried employees in Finland. The company’s operations will be adapted to the changed market environment.
As a result of the negotiations, it was agreed that the company would terminate the employment contracts of a maximum of 25 salaried and senior salaried employees in its Finnish units instead of a maximum of 30 employees in the negotiation proposal. It was further agreed that a part of the targeted cost savings related to the need to reduce employees will be implemented by transferring a maximum of 7 people to another company as a result of a business transfer.
In addition to the redundancies based on the negotiations, the number of employees in the company will decrease by 18 persons by the end of the year due to the termination of fixed-term employment contracts, retirements, and resignations during the negotiations.
The concluded negotiation result will generate annual savings of approximately EUR 1.5−2 million. In addition, Raute has initiated other actions targeting efficiency improvements and cost savings of several millions. Raute communicated in June that it will strengthen its development program to improve competitiveness and profitability during 2022 and 2023.
