Successful 2nd round of Employee Participation Program

29. April 2020

The Wienerberger Group successfully concluded the second round of its Employee Participation Program. Of the 4,400 employees in Austria, Great Britain, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic eligible to participate in the program, up to a quarter used the opportunity to invest in Wienerberger. The total volume invested came to over € 2.3 million, the average investment per employee amounting to more than € 3,300.

The high rate of participation is a clear signal of strength, especially in times like these, with all of us severely affected by the crisis. It shows that our employees believe in the future of Wienerberger. We are convinced that we have the right strategy to come out of this crisis stronger. As co-owners, our employees will benefit in the long term, just like all other shareholders.
