D. Whether a Significant Portion of the Organization’s Activities are Performed by Workers who are not Employees
If applicable, a description of the nature and scale of work performed by workers who are not employees.
Sika engages workers employed through employment agencies and service providers in the range of approximately 10% of the total workforce (mentioned in Disclosure 102-8) at the end of the reporting period. These personnel are leased labor who are not on Sika’s payroll, but under contract at a labor leasing company. The share of workers can vary depending on the seasonality of the business in the individual Sika companies. The work performed by this part of the workforce is mainly manufacturing, warehousing and logistics.
E. Any Significant Variations in the Numbers Reported in Disclosure 102-8-a, 102-8-b, and 102-8-c
Due to the seasonality of the construction business, the workforce may increase in the main season, e.g. the summer months in the Northern hemisphere. In 2018, Sika employed 777 temporary laborers as part of Sika's workforce to adapt to peak demand.
