Gonvarri Industries\u2019 global workforce comprises 8,957 employees in 2025, compared to 9,268 employees in the 2024 financial year, representing a 3% decrease from the previous year.<\/p>

The following facilities are excluded from the scope of the Report: the Gailp Pune plant (India), with 439 permanent employees and 285 external staff, as well as certain commercial entities of no material significance.<\/p>

We prioritise local employment to create value in the countries where we operate. 87% of the workforce is locally recruited.<\/p>

In all our offices and production centres, we guarantee full respect for the labour rights of our employees. We promote a working environment based on dignity, equal opportunities and mutual respect. We also encourage and protect freedom of association, trade union representation and the effective exercise of collective bargaining as essential pillars of balanced and transparent labour relations.<\/p>

Our people management model incorporates clear policies on social dialogue, participation and consultation. We maintain open and ongoing channels of communication with workers\u2019 legal representatives, facilitating the constructive resolution of disputes, the improvement of working conditions and the development of agreements that contribute to well-being and productivity. Furthermore, we promote continuous training on labour rights and relations for middle management and senior leadership teams, with the aim of ensuring the consistent application of our policies on a global scale.<\/p>

Within the supply chain, we carry out regular assessments of our suppliers using ESG criteria, including respect for human and labour rights, health and safety, and environmental protection. To date, no suppliers have been identified where freedom of association or the right to collective bargaining is violated or threatened. We have audit and verification mechanisms in place to detect potential risks at an early stage, as well as contractual clauses requiring compliance with labour standards aligned with ILO principles and our internal policies on responsible conduct. We also have a code of ethics and conduct for suppliers, to which they must adhere.<\/p>

Collective agreements or similar arrangements regulate working conditions (wages, working hours, holidays, etc.) and the relationship between the company and its employees. By 2025, 77% of the workforce was covered by collective agreements.<\/p>

In some countries where collective agreements do not apply, working conditions are set out in so-called \u2018Handbooks\u2019 or the country\u2019s labour regulations are applied directly. By 2025, 19% of the workforce was covered by a Handbook and the remaining 4% was subject to the country\u2019s own labour legislation.<\/p>

People Growing Together is Gonvarri Industries\u2019 talent management model. Based on the employee lifecycle, the model is organised into different \u2018families\u2019. Each of these develops initiatives that address the needs at the different stages an employee goes through within the company.\u00a0 The model aims to serve as the benchmark for talent management across the group, normalising, standardising and mainstreaming its content across the various companies.<\/p>

In 2025, we continued to implement a comprehensive talent management system using the SuccessFactors tool, with the aim of making it the company\u2019s primary HR data management tool.<\/p>

To continue developing the People model, work will be carried out in 2026 on the following guides:<\/p>
