Kemira continues profitability improvement actions and initiates change negotiations in Finland

Kemira continues profitability improvement actions and initiates change negotiations in Finland. The planned actions aim for annual savings of approximately 15 million euros and may result in a reduction of maximum of 150 roles in Kemira’s global organization, including maximum of 30 roles in Finland. The negotiations will cover all Kemira employees in Finland except the manufacturing organization. Kemira has approximately 4,900 employees globally of which around 800 in Finland.

Other potential impacts may include changes, for example to employment terms or job roles. The intent is to reduce the impact wherever possible through retirements, and other voluntary arrangements. In addition to these planned measures, the company continues to implement other ongoing efficiency and cost‑saving actions that do not have employee impacts.

Consultation processes in accordance with local legislation will also begin in other relevant countries outside Finland.
