阿克蘇諾貝爾計劃在 2025 年底前完成大量裁員，以提高營運效率。

The Dutch group, which has operations in 150 countries including the UK, said it will “streamline” its management structure through the cuts.

The move will impact more than 5% of its 35,700 global employees.

此舉將影響其全球 35,700 名員工中超過 5% 的員工。

AkzoNobel has around 3,500 employees in the UK and Ireland across 15 sites, including nine factories. The firm has not disclosed how many UK staff will be impacted.

阿克蘇諾貝爾在英國和愛爾蘭的 15 個基地擁有約 3,500 名員工，其中包括 9 家工廠。該公司尚未透露有多少英國員工將受到影響。

The group’s cost-cutting efforts come amid a backdrop of continued inflation in the building materials industry and higher wages.

該集團削減成本的舉措是在建材業持續通膨和工資上漲的背景下做出的。

Nevertheless, the group recently reported that pre-tax profits rose by over a quarter in the first half of the year to 496 million euros (£413 million) due to tight control over its cost base.

儘管如此，該集團最近報告稱，由於嚴格控製成本基礎，上半年稅前利潤增長了四分之一以上，達到 4.96 億歐元（4.13 億英鎊）。

Greg Poux-Guillaume, chief executive of AkzoNobel, said: “Over the last three quarters, we have demonstrated our ability to grow.
