As of December 31, 2018, AAK had a total of 3,594
employees within the scope of this report.
The average age of employees in Europe is significantly
higher than in the rest of the world due to a
more mature organization. Twenty-two percent of
AAK’s permanent employees are female. This is a
lower percentage than in many other businesses and is
explained by the fact that working in the production sites
typically attracts more men than women. At managerial
level, 22 percent of employees are female.
Seventy-four percent of AAK’s employees are permanently
employed, while 4 percent are on a temporary
contract. The remaining 22 percent comprise trainees,
agency staff and at-will employees. The latter is a
doctrine of American law that refers to an employment
relationship which can be broken by either party with no
liability. Three percent of our employees work part-time.
