Regarding the workforce flow in countries/markets considered “mature” in which Pirelli operates, in Italy efficiency plans continued in Settimo Torinese regarding the finalisation of the technological and organisational restructuring of the New Car Centre (-22 employees) and at the facility in Bollate (-18 employees), both implemented through voluntary leaves. In Germany, however, there was a reduction of employees within the company Pneumobil following the reorganisation of the Pirelli Retail chain (-68 employees) and a reduction of blue collar employees at the facility in Breuberg (-25 employees). As for the countries/emerging markets where Pirelli operates (namely Romania, Russia, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, Egypt, Turkey, China), the increases in production volume contributed to the increase of the workforce in China (+179), Romania (+115) and Argentina (+70), as well as in Mexico (+289) due to the expansion of the new plant in Silao. Moreover, the reorganisation in progress within the Russian facilities in Kirov and Voronezh led to a growth of 89 employees in 2014 compared to 2013 (-54 staff employees and +143 blue collar employees). In Brazil there was an increase of 270 employees within the company Pneuac due to the expansion of the Retail chain and a reduction of 142 employees due to the decline in production volumes. As for the annual changes of incoming and outgoing personnel, 2014 showed a decrease of both incoming and outgoing flows over the previous year, mainly due to a growth in production volumes slightly lower than that recorded in the period 2012-2013.
Pirelli does not employ anyone under the age of 15. There are 39 young people aged between 15 and 18 (20 in Brazil, 12 in Germany, 3 in the UK, 2 in Switzerland, 1 in Venezuela and 1 in Sweden), all of whom involved in training and integration plans, in compliance with local laws.
